Okay, just watch it, not as bad as I feared, still meaning not good. The rods are pretty much out of #4. https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=fukushima+fuel+rod+removal&tbm=nws

DeleteGoogle's own renewable energy experts admit in IEEE Spectrum that
Deleterenewable energy simply won't work and cancelled the RE < C project
that was to make renewable energy cheaper than coal.
I may watch this later
Deleteneed more courage
