Could this be the drink of the future?
Could the devastation that is happening at Fukushima Dai Ichi, Japan ever happen here?
According to our government, NO WAY!!!
To hear them tell it, our Nuclear facilities are 100% safe, superior in every way against such calamity. UHmmmm mmmm right.
I think until they can safely figure out what to do with the waste produced by these facilities they should cease using them.
