Moving Speech by Ms. Muto from Fukushima: "Don't Snatch Away Our Lives!"

"If the power that even now aims to advance nuclear plants is a vertical wall looming over us, our power extends horizontally, without limits, through our ongoing connection."

This is a speech by Ms. Ruiko Muto at the No-Nuke Rally in Tokyo on September 19, 2011. Ms. Muto is a member of "Action Committee for Decommissioning 40-year-old Fukushima Nuke Plant." This committee was established in November 2010, before the accident.

Ms. Muto runs a coffee shop using natural energy in Miharu Town in Fukushima Prefecture.

@FutureDeleted The English subtitles don't show on your screen? Will it change if you click on the "cc" button at the bottom right of the screen and turn it into red?

@tokyobrowntabby

it's simply "not available" - I don' know why.

[tokyobrowntabby]

@FutureDeleted Do you mean the "cc" button itself is not on your screen? Or there is the button but it just doesn't work?

Thanks.

There's 3 reasons nuclear power was foisted on the people: 1) It allows for centralized profiteering whereas renewable energy is more often decentralized. 2) It's heavily subsidized by corrupt governments. 3) It suggested splitting the atom could yield something productive, not just destructive; it was PR for the weapons industry, and it can yield materials used in weapons production.

We have 4 nuclear power reactors on earthquake faults here in CA, and their tsunami walls are lower.
