[ RadSafe ] Statement by Japanese Prime Minister

[Joseph Preisig]

Radsafe,
     Perhaps we will eventually cut the world population to 3 billion or
1.5 billion people,  and folks can settle into the
warmer regions of the world.  Homes can be made more energy efficient.  If
we start to run out of other energy/power
sources, nuclear fission will be there to fill the gap.
