Is Clean Energy That 'Clean'?

Abstract

The latest fury of Nature that caught mankind all over the world totally unaware, once again reminded the human civilization that their boast of supremacy over nature could be dwarfed at any moment at its whim. Yes, it is the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that shook the entire stretch of North- East coast of Japan on Friday the 11th of March 2011. It was followed by huge 7 m high tsunami waves sweeping 6/7 Km inland submerging and destroying large number of towns and villages. The agonizing devastation has been brought to notice well to the people through TV and print media coverages. It is estimated that no less than 10,000 people in the affected region have died and more than double the number being reported missing. About 5 lakh people have been evacuated from the areas, rescue operations are still on. Japan's awful misery and extreme sufferings did not end there.
