> yeah, and because Chinese citizens are outraged by Fukushima release, they are boycotting Japanese seafood, and in general all seafood, which has decimated the entire seafood industry in China overnight, with no traffic to seafood market or restaurants.

This one is hilarious. China imports very little seafood from Japan, and they just single handedly tanked their domestic seafood industry for a few bananas worth of radiation.

So Japan's dumping of radioactive waste into the ocean might just be one of the greatest things ever done for marine life.

This could be the first time in history that the "green" / petroleum alliance's anti-nuclear FUD has ever had a positive outcome for the environment.

Maybe you are right? The seafood industry is really close to collapse for wild catches throughout the rest of the world.
