Japan marks 13 years since disaster struck Fukushima. Damaged nuclear reactors still have tons of melted fuel
Following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a tsunami slammed into the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant—causing radiation leaks and contamination in the area.

This is all somewhat moot if you ask me. The UNFCCC & Paris Agreement decided to avoid catastrophic climate damages, not weigh up costs & benefits.
It is implicitly determined that the physical damages alone justify deep mitigation, irrespective of cost (think of an island & sea level rise).

For fem år siden fikk oljebransjen omfattende skattesubsidier, mot at utslippene i 2030 skulle halveres
Nå som subsidiene er "fortært", innrømmer bransjen at de ikke oppfyller sin del av avtalen
Og så er det ingen konsekvenser
Vanskelig å tro på slike løfter i framtiden

Oljebransjen vil kun kutte utslippene med 35 prosent i 2030: – Til å leve med
Energiminister Terje Aasland (Ap) sier det er et spørsmål om hvor mye bransjen skal anstrenge seg for å gjennomføre prosjekter som er svært kostnadskrevende.
