The Associated Press released a major investigation into Silicon Valley’s role building China’s surveillance state. Companies like IBM, Intel, NVIDIA, and Oracle sold technologies for facial recognition and predictive policing. These tools enabled mass detention in Xinjiang. Cochrane expressed horror at the findings and emphasized American companies’ complicity in human rights abuses. Next, the podcast covered serious browser security concerns. Two malicious Chrome extensions had been stealing credentials from over 170 websites for years. Cochrane stressed the need for caution when installing plugins. He also highlighted how attackers exploit trusted extensions through manipulative tactics. Additionally, Cochrane discussed Microsoft’s ambitious plan to replace all C/C++ code with Rust by 2030. The company faces ongoing security challenges from memory safety issues in legacy languages. However, he noted this remains a research project rather than an official goal. Still, the move reflects broader industry trends toward Rust adoption. The episode then featured GitHub Universe 2025’s most influential open-source projects. Cochrane remarked on how the development landscape continues to evolve. TypeScript has emerged as a dominant language alongside new tools that streamline workflows. Meanwhile, advancements in humanoid robotics took center stage. Engine AI unveiled its T800 combat-ready humanoid robot with impressive features. The company even released a viral video of the robot kicking its CEO to prove authenticity. Following this, Cochrane covered the Blackbird flying car prototype. This eVTOL innovation showcases paradigm-shifting propulsion technology. It could transform urban transportation in the coming decades. The podcast also reviewed Android Central’s best smartphones of 2025. OnePlus 15 claimed the top spot thanks to its impressive specs and consumer-focused features. Furthermore, Cochrane addressed a controversial topic: Anna’s Archive scraping Spotify’s entire library. He expressed mixed feelings about the situation. On one hand, artists and the music industry face real harm. On the other, questions about digital preservation and access deserve consideration. Finally, the episode explored groundbreaking brain simulation research. Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer enabled unprecedented neural modeling. This marks a significant step toward understanding neurological diseases. Cochrane wrapped up by discussing Japan’s plans to restart the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant. Local residents remain concerned about safety despite government approval. The decision reflects Japan’s shifting energy strategy post-Fukushima. As the episode closed, Cochrane wished listeners a Happy New Year. He encouraged self-reflection and thanked everyone for tuning in throughout the year.

Japan's Niigata Prefecture approved on Monday to restart the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant located in the prefecture, more than a decade after the Fukushima disaster.日本新潟县周一批准重启该县境内的柏崎刈羽核电站,距福岛核事故已过去十余年。Theprefectural assembly endorsed the decision of Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi, who backed the restart last month, effectively allowing the restart of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)'s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, the world's largest nuclear power plant.新潟县议会批准了县知事花角英世上月支持重启的决定,这意味着东京电力公司(TEPCO)旗下全球最大核电站——柏崎刈羽核电站的重启计划得以实施。On the day, about 300 protesters rallied outside the prefectural assembly, holding banners that read "No Nukes" and "We oppose the restart of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa," local media reported.据当地媒体报道,当天约300名抗议者在县议会大楼外集会,高举着“反对核电”和“反对重启柏崎刈羽核电站”的标语。The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, about 220 km northwest of Tokyo, was among 54 reactors shut following the March 2011 core meltdowns at TEPCO's tsunami-stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant.位于东京西北约220公里的柏崎刈羽核电站,是2011年3月东京电力公司福岛第一核电站因海啸引发堆芯熔毁事故后,54座被关闭的核反应堆之一。Upon local consent, the No 6 reactor at the seven-unit complex is expected to be back online around Jan 20, becoming the first nuclear reactor owned by TEPCO to restart since the 2011 nuclear disaster, public broadcaster NHK reported.日本广播协会报道称,在获得当地同意后,这座拥有七个机组的核电站的6号机组预计将于1月20日左右重启,这将是东京电力公司自2011年核事故以来首个重启的核反应堆。prefecturen./ˈpriː.fek.tʃɚ/县

The first U.S. nuclear renaissance collapsed under the weight of cheap shale gas, lost institutional expertise, and disastrous projects like Vogtle and Summer. Today, America is planning a fleet of eight AP1000 reactors, backed by unprecedented federal incentives. But can the country actually build large nuclear again?In this video, we break down what really killed the 2000s revival, why Fukushima wasn't the turning point, and how AP1000 and ESBWR passive safety performed in station-blackout analyses. Most importantly, we explore why nuclear success depends not on reactor design, but on rebuilding the developer organizations needed to execute these megaprojects.If the United States can rebuild those institutions, a real nuclear comeback is possible. If not, history risks repeating itself.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rssWebsite: https://www.decouple.media

VOV1 - Đúng dự báo của giới chuyên môn, Nhật Bản đang đón một mùa đông rất khắc nghiệt.Cơ quan Khí tượng Nhật Bản cho biết do ảnh hưởng của một đợt khí áp mùa đông sớm chưa từng có và không khí lạnh tăng cường, toàn bộ các địa phương phía Bắc và Đông Bắc nước này đang đang phải hứng chịu nhưng đợt tuyết dày kỷ lục. Tính đến 17h chiều nay, theo giờ địa phương, lượng tuyết tại tỉnh Aomori đã lên tới 96cm, Fukushima 56cm và nơi có lượng tuyết thấp nhất cũng lên tới 35cm.Bên cạnh đó, nền nhiệt tại nhiều địa phương cũng xuống thấp chưa từng có. Đặc biệt, nhiệt độ tại Hokkaido đã xuống tới -13,5°C. Nhiều địa phương vốn có khí hậu ấm áp cũng đang phải chịu những đợt rét kỷ lục, trong đó Hiroshima – miền Nam Nhật Bản, là -0,6 °C, Osaca 3,2 °C và Tokyo là 4,5 °C.Cơ quan khí tượng Nhật Bản cũng dự báo đợt rét kỷ lục này sẽ kéo dài ít nhất đến hết ngày mai (5/12), đồng thời cảnh báo về những nguy cơ như lốc xoáy, cuồng phong, bão tuyết, tuyết lở, sập nhà, đứt dây điện và đổ cột điện do tuyết, băng rơi từ trên cao…Trước đó, từ cuối tháng 9 vừa qua, các chuyên gia khí tượng Nhật Bản đã dự báo mùa thu năm 2025 có khả năng sẽ ngắn hơn thông lệ, đồng thời, mùa đông sẽ đến sớm và nhiệt độ tại các khu vực cực Nam và phía Tây nước này trong khoảng thời gian từ tháng 12/2025 đến tháng 2/2026 sẽ thấp hơn so với mọi năm và hiện nay, các dự báo nêu trên đang trở thành sự thật./.Lượng tuyết năm nay có khả năng sẽ vượt qua kỷ lục của mùa đông trước (ảnh Jiji Press)
We find ourselves in a season where the darkness feels particularly heavy—where gloom creates fog in our decision-making, fractures in our relationships, fear about the future, and fragility in our souls. This message draws us into Isaiah 9, a prophecy written hundreds of years before Christ's birth, speaking directly into a divided kingdom experiencing distress and despair. The people were walking in deep darkness, yet the prophet proclaimed that a great light would dawn. What makes this passage so powerful is its relevance to our modern chaos: divided nations, broken families, anxiety that buzzes in our bones like an alarm that never stops ringing. But here's the transformative truth—Christ in us is greater than the chaos around us. The four names of Jesus revealed in Isaiah 9:6—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace—aren't just ancient titles; they're present realities addressing our specific struggles today. When we feel lost in the fog, Jesus reveals what chaos conceals. When relationships fracture, He brings awe-inspiring restoration. When fear grips us, His might steadies us. When we feel fragile, His everlasting arms hold us together. The sermon beautifully illustrates this through the image of sunflowers planted in radioactive soil near Fukushima—plants that absorb toxins and bring beauty to contaminated ground. This is precisely what Jesus does: He absorbed our sin, our pain, our chaos on the cross so we could absorb His peace, hope, and joy. Our hardship isn't a tomb; it's a womb where God is birthing something new.Discussion Questions:-Pull up the ‘What a season of gloom feels like' lists and identify with your group which feels most familiar - now, or in the past. -Which of the four names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, or Prince of Peace—do you need to experience most deeply in your life right now, and why?-When have you mistaken God's peace and rest for Him 'sleeping on the job' during a storm in your life, and how might that perspective shift change your faith?-How can you cultivate the ability to experience Christ's peace internally even when the chaos around you remains unchanged?
Dans cet épisode de La voix est livre, Nicolas Carreau reçoit François Gagey pour son premier roman « Combustion » (Albin Michel). L'intrigue se déroule après l'explosion de la centrale nucléaire de Flamanville : trois hommes – Paul, banquier en chute libre, Darko, passionné des catacombes, et Baptiste, le plus « normal » – se retrouvent isolés dans une zone contaminée. Inspiré par Fukushima et la série Tchernobyl, Gaget mêle tension post-apocalyptique et introspection sur la masculinité contemporaine. Entre survie, jeux dangereux et révélations intimes, ce thriller réaliste explore les failles humaines face à l'urgence.À retenir :Une catastrophe nucléaire comme toile de fond pour un huis clos haletant.Trois personnages aux identités contrastées, reflet des fragilités masculines.Un roman documenté, entre réalisme et suspense psychologique.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode, Adam and Topher take you back to the early days of America's UFO encounters — when the Air Force didn't just study the phenomenon, they chased it.From Captain Thomas Mantell's fatal pursuit of a flying disc in 1948 to the chilling Kinross Incident of 1953, these were the moments that pushed the government from open curiosity into classified secrecy.We'll walk through official reports, radio transcripts, and post-war headlines that read like sci-fi — except they really happened. Were these crafts extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something else entirely?Then we fast-forward to today's headlines — blue rods in Brazil, orbs over Fukushima, Luna's interdimensional comments, and new whispers from Lacatski's “department of the paranormal.” History might not just be repeating itself — it could be looping.Full episode show notes here.
馬場雄基氏任期満了に伴う福島市長選は16日に投開票が行われ、無所属新人で元衆院議員の馬場雄基氏が、無所属現職で3選を目指した木幡浩氏、自民、立憲民主、国民民主、公明、社民推薦、ら2人を破り、初当選を果たした。 Former Japanese lawmaker Yuki Baba, 33, was elected mayor of the city of Fukushima on Sunday, becoming the youngest leader of a prefectural capital.
Japan's political scene is changing—from new parties rising in visibility to historic moments in national leadership—so the Krewe is bringing you a timely crash course. Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do. We explore the major and emerging parties shaping the landscape, the issues driving debate today, and how international pressures and global events influence domestic policy. Tobias also sheds light on the media's role in shaping public perception and political accountability.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

La catastrophe nucléaire de Kyshtym, survenue en 1957 en Union soviétique, est l'un des pires accidents nucléaires de l'histoire — pourtant, elle est restée secrète pendant plus de vingt ans. À l'époque, seuls Tchernobyl et Fukushima feront pire. Mais si le monde en a si peu entendu parler, c'est parce que le drame s'est produit au cœur d'un complexe militaire ultra-secret, dans une région interdite aux étrangers.Tout commence dans la petite ville de Kyshtym, dans l'Oural, à proximité du complexe nucléaire de Maïak, l'un des tout premiers sites soviétiques destinés à produire du plutonium pour la bombe atomique. Dans ce centre, des tonnes de déchets hautement radioactifs sont entreposées dans des réservoirs souterrains en acier, refroidis par un système d'eau. Mais le 29 septembre 1957, le système de refroidissement d'un de ces réservoirs tombe en panne. Pendant plusieurs mois, la température interne monte lentement… jusqu'à provoquer une explosion chimique équivalente à environ 70 tonnes de TNT.L'explosion pulvérise le couvercle en béton de plusieurs tonnes et libère un immense nuage radioactif. Environ 20 millions de curies de matières radioactives sont projetées dans l'atmosphère — une quantité comparable à un tiers de celle de Tchernobyl. Ce nuage contamine une zone de plus de 20 000 km², touchant plusieurs régions de l'Oural et exposant près de 270 000 personnes.Mais à l'époque, impossible pour la population de comprendre ce qui se passe. Le régime soviétique garde le silence absolu. Les habitants des villages voisins voient des soldats arriver, des hélicoptères survoler la région, des convois évacuer des familles sans explication. On leur dit simplement qu'il y a eu une « explosion industrielle ». En réalité, 23 villages seront rasés, les habitants déplacés de force, et des centaines de personnes mourront dans les mois ou années suivantes des suites d'irradiations aiguës.Ce n'est qu'en 1976, grâce au témoignage du biologiste soviétique Jores Medvedev, réfugié à Londres, que l'Occident découvre l'ampleur de la catastrophe. Il baptise alors l'événement « catastrophe de Kyshtym », du nom de la ville la plus proche du site.Aujourd'hui encore, la région reste l'une des zones les plus contaminées de la planète. Le site de Maïak continue de fonctionner, mais les cicatrices écologiques et humaines du désastre rappellent qu'avant même Tchernobyl, l'histoire du nucléaire avait déjà connu une tragédie passée presque sous silence.

“Seishin” is a focused, four-track EP from Fukushima-born, Berlin-based producer Shingo Suwa on Acid Camp. The title translates to “spirit,” and the record treats that idea as both a feeling and a relay: an original transmission from a time of quarantined isolation followed by responses from trusted collaborators. Clay Wilson contributes two versions: one a deep, tensile workout and the other a companion take sparked by the legacy of Jasen Loveland (1980–2021). Jasen Loveland also worked on a remix of his own in 2021. “Seishin” is not only about losing yourself—it is also about the resonance of spirit and memory, passed across friends, to find yourself again. “Seishin” arrives as a 12” EP in an edition of 100 on white/clear marble and 200 on black vinyl. The digital release includes a bonus remix from Remote Perception, another alias of Jasen Loveland.

Interview with Rebecca Hunter, CEO of Geiger EnergyRecording date: 26th September 2025Geiger Energy represents a significant consolidation in Canada's uranium exploration sector, formed through the merger of Baslode Energy and Forum Energy Metals in 2025. The combined entity positions itself across two premier uranium districts: Nunavut's Thelon Basin and Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin analog, creating a year-round exploration platform under experienced leadership.Rebecca Hunter, the company's President and CEO, brings 11 years of Cameco Corporation experience to the role, including direct involvement with the Thelon project during the pre-Fukushima uranium cycle. Her institutional knowledge proves critical as Geiger advances its flagship Aberdeen project, which encompasses 50+ targets adjacent to Orano's 133 million pound uranium deposit.The recent Loki discovery marks a watershed moment for Thelon Basin exploration. "What's exciting about the Loki deposit is that it has sandstone. This year we drilled it and found even more elevated uranium in the sandstone and mineralization at the unconformity," Hunter explains. This represents the first evidence of unconformity-style mineralization in a region historically dominated by basement-hosted deposits, potentially validating the basin's capacity to host world-class uranium systems similar to Saskatchewan's MacArthur River and Cigar Lake mines.Geiger's dual-basin strategy leverages complementary seasonal operating windows. Aberdeen operations run during Nunavut's four-month summer season, while the Hook-ACKIO project in Saskatchewan enables winter drilling programs. This approach maximizes capital efficiency and maintains continuous news flow for investors.The company emerges with robust financial backing, maintaining approximately $6 million in working capital following Baslode's $10 million contribution and an additional $6 million raise. This positions Geiger to execute sustained exploration programs across both flagship assets while maintaining operational flexibility in volatile uranium markets.Hunter emphasizes the strategic focus: "You want to pick one or two really good projects that have that capability. For us, the Aberdeen project is that. We've got a whole district basically to ourselves with really good ground where we think that we could find one of these high-tonnage, high-grade discoveries."View Geiger Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/geiger-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1140: Today we're talking about Toyota's big ethanol play in Fukushima and California lawmakers slamming the brakes on “Leno's Law” for classic cars. Plus, Paul's back with some unexpected retail takeaways from his vacation travels.Show Notes with links:Toyota and a coalition of Japanese automakers are doing something symbolic and strategic — turning the former Fukushima no-go zone into a proving ground for next-gen biofuels.A Toyota-led consortium is piloting ethanol biofuel production in Okuma, the town devastated by the 2011 nuclear disaster.They're cultivating high-cellulose sorghum, which outperforms corn in poor soil and doesn't compete with food crops.This is part of Japan's “multipathway” strategy — pushing hybrids, synthetic fuels, and biofuels alongside EVs.The group, which includes Subaru, Mazda, Suzuki, Daihatsu, and Eneos, opened a $33M plant in November to convert the sorghum to E10 fuel.“We want this movement to spread beyond Japan to the world,” said Toyota CTO Hiroki Nakajima while touring the fields in a straw hat.Jay Leno's push to exempt classic car owners from smog checks in California has officially stalled. Despite passing the Senate and Leno's personal testimony, the bill was quietly killed by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.Senate Bill 712, dubbed “Leno's Law,” would have exempted pre-1981 cars with historic plates from smog checks.The Assembly's Appropriations Committee killed the bill without explanation, alongside 70 others on its “suspense file.”Leno argued classic car smog checks are outdated, expensive, and hard to perform with modern equipment.Environmental groups and air quality regulators opposed the bill, citing cost and pollution concerns.“Sadly, today California said ‘no' to helping preserve these rolling pieces of history,” said sponsor Sen. Shannon Grove.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
John is joined by Hidetaka Mihara, Senior Counsel at Tokyo International Law Office. They discuss three major legal developments in Japan: (1) the criminal and civil litigation arising from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, (2) the rise of shareholder activism, and (3) Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel.On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake and ensuing tsunami triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Executives at the company that ran the nuclear power plant had been warned of tsunami risks years before the event, but did not report the risk to the government until days before the earthquake. The trial court found the executives not guilty of criminal negligence reasoning that tsunamis of this size were so rare and the cost of addressing the risk, cutting off electricity to the region while repairs were made, was so high that the company's delayed report did not amount to negligence. Related civil claims against the government and management were also dismissed, with courts holding that neither breached their obligations under Japanese law. Despite some public criticism, most Japanese have moved on from the tragedy, focusing on rebuilding rather than retribution.The recent rise of shareholder activism in Japan is a notable shift in a culture traditionally averse to corporate confrontation. This rise follows reforms in Tokyo Stock Exchange rules, greater emphasis on corporate governance, and changes in ownership thresholds that empower minority shareholders to propose changes. One example is the Seven & i Holdings case, in which activists pushed for a corporate restructuring. While their proposal failed, their recommendations for improving the company were eventually adopted by management. Although shareholder litigation remains rare in Japan, shareholder proposals and negotiations have become increasingly effective, aided by the gradual unwinding of entrenched cross-shareholding relationships.Finally, Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel which has been politically controversial in the U.S., is widely seen in Japan as a strategic and mutually beneficial partnership. Japan views the acquisition as a way to strengthen both nations' competitiveness against Chinese and Indian steelmakers. Ultimately, the U.S. government approved the acquisition based, in part, on obtaining “golden share” rights, including the right to block certain potential managerial changes at the company. The conversation reflects how Japan's legal and corporate culture is gradually adapting to global norms while maintaining its distinct approach to risk, accountability, and trust.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

In this fascinating episode, Bryan welcomes back longtime friend and nuclear industry veteran Bill Nowicki to discuss a recently released document from DHS and NUSTL that provides new recommendations for HVAC operations during nuclear events. Bill brings over 40 years of nuclear experience, starting as a 19-year-old Navy nuclear operator (after being deemed "not ready for the grill" at Friendly's restaurant) and progressing through various roles, including lead engineer on critical control systems at nuclear facilities. Bill shares his journey from nuclear plant evaluator to leadership trainer, now working internationally to help nuclear professionals develop their skills. His current podcast, "The Nuclear Leader," continues this mission alongside his passion project, "Navigating Mental Illness: Parent Stories." Bill provides an accessible explanation of nuclear reactor operations, using the analogy that "contamination is the poop and radiation is the smell" to help listeners understand the difference between radioactive material and radiation itself. He walks through the three-barrier system in nuclear plants: fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment structures. The discussion covers how fission works, the controlled chain reaction process, and what happens when these systems fail, using examples from Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima to illustrate different failure modes. The episode explores the current nuclear renaissance driven by AI data centers and industrial companies seeking clean baseload power. Bill explains how private industry is now directly funding nuclear projects, bypassing traditional utility structures, with companies like Microsoft and ExxonMobil investing billions in new nuclear facilities. This represents a dramatic shift from the post-Three Mile Island era when nuclear construction essentially stopped in the United States. The core discussion focuses on updated emergency guidance that reverses previous recommendations. Instead of the old "shelter in place and shut off your AC" advice, the new guidance suggests keeping HVAC systems running while eliminating outdoor air intake. This approach recognizes that modern, well-sealed buildings with high-efficiency filtration can provide better protection by maintaining positive pressure and filtering recirculated air rather than allowing uncontrolled infiltration. Bill and Bryan discuss how building characteristics dramatically affect the best response strategy. High-performance homes with tight construction, MERV 13+ filters, and controlled ventilation systems offer significant advantages, requiring only the ability to shut off outdoor air intake. Conversely, older, leaky buildings may still benefit from complete system shutdown to prevent contamination circulation. The conversation highlights how lessons learned during COVID-19 about airborne contamination and filtration directly apply to nuclear emergency preparedness, emphasizing the importance of case-by-case analysis rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.

A massive 8.8 magnitude mega earthquake off Russia's east coast sent tsunami waves into Japan, Hawaii and the US west coast this week. While more than two million people across the Pacific were ordered to evacuate, there were no immediate reports of any fatalities. After recent devastating tsunamis like the ones that hit Fukushima in 2011 and the Boxing Day disaster of 2004, we speak to Environmental Seismology lecturer at University College London, Dr Stephen Hicks, to ask why this quake didn't cause anywhere near the same amount of harm.After the Lionesses successfully defended their UEFA European Women's Championship, Marnie Chesterton is joined by Professor of Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, Steve Haake, to looks at the role data analysis and Artificial Intelligence is now playing in football and other sports.We hear about fascinating new research from primatologist Professor Cat Hobaiter at the University of St Andrews into what we can learn about our evolution by studying how apes eat alcoholic fermented fruit.And Marnie is joined by technology broadcaster Gareth Mitchell to hear about the week's brand new scientific discovery news, and for a musical homage to the satirical songwriter and mathematician Tom Lehrer, who died this week at the age of 97.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Clare Salisbury, Dan Welsh, Jonathan Blackwell Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

In today's episode, we cover Fed Interest Rate Decision and AI's Impact on Jobs The Federal Reserve will announce today whether it will cut interest rates. Meanwhile, new data shows that artificial intelligence is displacing young college graduates across industries, pushing many into unemployment and reshaping the labor market. Trump EPA Targets Climate Rules for Vehicles The EPA moves to eliminate the Obama-era policy that declared vehicle emissions a threat to public health. If approved, automakers would no longer be bound by federal climate regulations. Supporters call it a win for consumer choice and industrial growth. Critics claim it ignores climate risks. Sun-Dimming Geoengineering Experiment Revealed A University of Washington team quietly launched a project in California to create a giant cloud that would reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. Local officials shut it down, but documents reveal plans for a 4,000-square-mile version visible from space. Bryan details the long, surprising history of geoengineering experiments in the United States and abroad. Tsunami Alerts Following Russian Earthquake A massive 8.8 earthquake strikes off the Russian coast, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Concerns mount over possible impacts to Japan's Fukushima nuclear site, as well as U.S. coastlines and island territories.

Unbeknownst to most people, Japan recently released its 12th batch of radioactive nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.This latest batch of discharge weighed approximately 7,800 tons, or around 15.6 million pounds.Including this latest batch, it means that Japan has dumped an estimated 86,000 tons of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean thus far. This sounds like a lot, but it's actually only the beginning. Its plan is to continue doing this for the next 30 years, and in the process, dump roughly 1.3 million tons of nuclear wastewater.The reason for this stems from what happened 14 years ago, during the Fukushima nuclear disaster. That was when an earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused a near meltdown of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.The disaster led to the contamination of a million tons of water.For the past 14 years, Japan has kept this water inside the plant, where it has been slowly treating it. But it ran out of space. Therefore, the Japanese government began to slowly release this treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.Let's go through the full story, as well as what the latest research has found, in terms of the effects that this wastewater is having on the local marine life.
