The Chernobyl Zone, 1986-Present


















Чорнобильська зона / Chornobyl's'ka zona / Restricted Zone.  Tschernobyl.

Let's not forget.  Energy matrix. Choices.  Nuclear? Coal-burning? Petroleum? Solar? Wind Power?  Hydropower? Geothermal?  Mass suicide by collective poisoning?  What's your favorite form of energy?  Locomotion?  Walk, run, ride, crawl, drive, fly, float, swim, dream, beam, imagine or project? 













Kraftwerk, ""Radioaktivität / Radioactivity," The Mix (1991) version reduxe:  Chernobyl, Harrisburg, Sellafield, Hiroshima . . . And let's not forget yet another notable mix, by Franco-Armenian-American François K (François Kevorkian).

Given a choice and competitive price solar would be the best form of power generation. But with the battery back up systems there is some possible toxicity to that as well.

Geo thermal is interesting but tapping into it is still just in diapers compared to fossil fuel generated power.

Harnessing cow flatulence would be best, I think.

I just wish there was an easy answer, that people weren't so dependent on petroleum products. I know I'm just as guilty of that as most, unfortunately.

I am not from Chernobyl, but some of my old countrymen do glow in the dark.
