Kudankulam protests: 1000 villagers bury themselves neck-deep



Published on Sep 16, 2012 by ndtv

Around 1000 villagers near Kudankulam, including women and children, buried themselves neck deep on the sea shore protesting against the upcoming nuclear plant. Over the last one year they have been demanding closure of the plant alleging the project would destroy life and livelihood. Two expert committees have found the plant to be safe. The Supreme Court too has refused to stay nuclear fuel loading.

It's one thing for areas with high population demanding electric power on demand, with no other resources, to fall for the nuke power scam.

Tropical regions have so much sunlight all year that solar power generation is almost as natural as growing crops in such regions.

This is by the water, they might just have the engineering ingenuity to use some of that, with wave generation.

Nukes boil water to turn a turbine just like a hydroelectic dam does. Doh!

Another good point about this demonstration is that those people are talking about making their living directly from Mother Nature, not the money or military system that drives this stuff.

They are the ones who have something to lose, and I hope the government and the world listens.
