VOLCANO WATCH: Ecuador State Of Emergency & Japanese Volcanic Nuclear Alert

Two volcanoes are making major headlines around the world. First up we have the Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has declared a state of emergency over increasing activity at the Cotopaxi volcano near the capital, Quito. Then on the other side of the ring of fire there is Sakurajima volcano, which is situated 31 miles from Sendai nuclear plant, which restarted one of its reactors this week after new safety rules.

 Lets take a look at the situation in Ecuador first.

Ecuador President Rafael Correa has declared a state of emergency over increasing activity at the Cotopaxi volcano near the capital, Quito.

The declaration gives authorities more flexibility in using government funds to address the situation. Officials evacuated several hundred people from nearby villages after the volcano began to erupt on Friday. Cotopaxi is among the world’s most dangerous volcanoes and is prone to fast-moving rock and mud flows. (read full story HERE)

Then, on the other side of the Pacific but still part of the ring of fire we have Japan. Following the Fukushima disaster, one would’ve thought that the Japanese woud’ve learned their lesson and reconsidered their nuclear power program around the country, but in a sick coincidence (I personally dont believe in coincidence!) the Sendai nuclear plant reopened just this week. Just 31 miles from Sendai is the Sakurajima volcano, and its getting active, very active! Sky News reports….

People living near a volcano in Japan are being warned to evacuate after the government raised the alert to the second highest level.

Sakurajima, on the southern island of Kyushu, is one of Japan’s most active volcanoes and has been showing signs of increased activity. The volcano is 31 miles from the Sendai nuclear plant, which restarted its reactor on Tuesday after new safety rules following the Fukushima disaster in March 2011. (Continue reading HERE)

Maybe its just me, but I find it the height of insanity that in the year 2015 we are still going nuclear to boil water in the persuit of producing power, and of course weapons! Whats even more insane and beyond comprehension is that they insist on building these power plants and installations near, and sometimes directly over, active fault lines or near volcanoes.
