#1 "GREEN ENERGY" is nice to have, but no one is realistically going to MARS-OR-MERCURY-N-BEYOND, i.e. DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION + COLONIZATION, depending on it.

IMO "GREEN ENERGY = HELPING HUMAN DEEP SPACE COLONIES SURVIVE WHILE WAITING FOR THE G **** D ***** LATE-AS-USUAL CARGO, TRANSPORT STARSHIP(S) + CYLON BABES TO ARRIVE FROM EARTH.

["STAR WARS" MOS EISLEY Spaceport here].

#2 I've heard that unicorn farts work pretty well.

Of course there are no unicorns... but lets not be negative ok?

#3 ION NEWS KERALA > JAPAN HAS NO PLANS TO DUMP SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL ABOARD.

D *** NG IT, THATS WHAT MONGOLIAN DESERTS, + OCEANS + FISHIES, IS FOR!

Iff ordinary Japanese are wondering why they may have to abandon their ancient homeland due to radiation-led environ destruction, WELL WONDER NO MORE!

* GUAM PDN > THREE US SENATORS URGE DECREASED US MARINE, INCREASED US AIR FORCE PRESENCE ON GUAM.

Also, PACIFICNEWSCENTER [Guam K-57]> US SENATORS CALL FOR RE-EXAMINATION OF US MILITARY BASING PLANS IN EAST ASIA, espec as per Guam-ROK-Japan realignment of forces.

* SAME > [Japan Times = Wikileak Cables] KYODO: US OFFERED JAPAN SDF'S PERMANENT PRESENCE ON GUAM, back in FEB 2010 ostensibly to improve training + joint US-Nippon disaster response region-wide coordination.

VERSUS

* JAPAN TIMES > WIKILEAKS: US CRITICAL OF JAPAN OVER ISLANDS DISPUTE WID RUSSA [Russian "South Kuriles" = Japanese former "Northern Territories"].

US wanted Japan to make a negotiated, Diplomacy-focused settlement wid Russia for LT return of the Islands, as opposed to Japan's actual hardline response which only stiffened Russia's stance.

* NHK WORLD > RUSSIA TO STRENGHEN FORCES ON DISPUTED ISLANDS. More, new Arty + Anti-Ship BMS.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > RUSSIA TO BEEF UP MILITARY PRESENCE IN CONTESTED KURILS ISLANDS.

Again, IMO Russia's covert focii is actually agz CHINA + PLA,i.e. isolating or containing Chin influence in RFE, notsomuch Japan.

* SAME > US TO UPDATE SEA MINES, TARGETING CHINA + DPRK.

SONG LYRIC = "In the Year 2025 [NOT 2525], iff Man is still alive ...".

* SAME > WILL JAPAN'S DEEP-WATER PROBES THREATEN CHINA'S TERRITORIAL WATERS?

IOW, China's sovereign offshore "Continental Shelf" versus Japan's sovereign offshore
"Continental Shelf"???

* SAME > THE ERA OF SURFACE SHIPS AT AN END:FUTURE OF SEA WAR WILL UNFOLD BETWEEN SUBS ONLY?

* SAME > TWILIGHT OF THE [Amer-style] SUPERCARRIER.

* SAME > DOES INDIA REALLY NEED SUPERCARRIERS?

* SAME > EAST TIMOR DENIES WIKILEAKS CLAIMS ON CHINA RADAR SPY STATION, as does Beijing.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIA TO FIELD MISSLE DEFENSE-EVADING ICBM BY 2018.

* TOPIX > CHINA: PHILIPPINES INVADED [China's] SPRATLEYS IN 1970's. Complaint to the UNO.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > CHINA IGNORES VIETNAM VOTE: CHINA REITERATES SOVEREIGN CLAIMS ON NANSHAS [SOuth China Sea].
