It's been said before many times, but it bears repeating here, that man is the only creature on earth who fouls his own nest. And womankind is included in the gender singular reference here as the word "man" used in this context means humanity at large. Anyway, to find the reason why this nest-fouling should be so, the question trail leads to the realisation that it is mis-identification of self that inevitably leads to such global calamities as Fukushima.
In other words, if we individually and collectively identify our own beings as something we are not, then we will pursue the acquisition of happiness and fulfilment in life in actions where there is no actual happiness or fulfilment. In fact we will find just the opposite effect. This opposite, unwanted effect, is due to the principle of action and reaction at play, specifically brought about by actions based on false or wrong identification of who and what, individually and/or collectively, we actually are. In computerese; "garbage in, garbage out". Or 1+1=4.
When this misidentification of self happens at the level of governments of powerful nations then the effect of the nest fouling affects everyone and everything on the planet, as witness the disease of the nuclear industry and it's disastrous effects. Fukushima is nothing but one of the bitter fruits of misidentification of self to the nth degree of absurdity.
The solution? Find out who you are. Start with one's own self.
