To balance this out. Another non mainstream outlet covering this, posted on another thread about this yesterday.

According to TNN and its unnamed experts the west coast will be uninhabitable within 2 years.

Some sources may want to avoid mass panic (and lie) others wouldn't mind it I think.

Not sure if that's an attempt to troll but I'll answer.

Just take stuff on TNN with a grain of salt.

The supposed holocaust denial is in the first Wikipedia paragraph (and I admit that these accusations are usually used to stop discussion), but keep reading...

He's had a few run-ins with the government including threatening three federal appellate judges and being generally "provocative". The website seems to have an anti-government sentiment in general and reading some of the other stories (US West Coast uninhabitable by 2016/2017 afair - if true, good bye SV and YC) I'd take this with a grain of salt.

That said, I bought iodine pills in 2011 and kept them around. Steam from reactor 3 is probably not good and neither is the radioactive wastewater that runs into our oceans.

When reading some of these stories, I try to understand people's motivations and background (or here the website/station).

I'd also like to see some details from or credentials of the "experts" cited in the assertion that this is a meltdown.
