I occassionally like Dore's commentary, but he can be such an ill-informed clickbait troll sometimes. He has a huge blind spot when it comes to traditional leftist stalking horses.

Oh no, dumping radioactive waste into the ocean! Nuclear equals bad, so that must be terrible! Or is it?

"Yesterday, an expert panel released a draft report recommending that the Japanese government allow Tokyo Electric Power Company to release radioactive water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear power plants into the ocean. Either that or evaporate it into the atmosphere. Both are fine, especially since a gallon of this water is as radioactive as a bag of potato chips."

The tritium being dumped occurs nationally in the ocean, and that's usually where it's originally harvested from.
