Anticipation is a concept that is curiously absent from modern politics.
I find it disgusting that each time a disaster must be made to change mentalities.
Of course, I realize that there are risks that are hard to imagine, yet the latter are only a tiny percentage of the possible situations.

It is necessary to take stock of this nuclear "incident":
This one is presented as being the consequence of a natural disaster (it's not my fault ... it's the nature!), Whereas in fact, this type of technological disaster, is only the logical result. of the functioning of the system (here industrial).
Moreover (I should say less) when this system collapses, it is clear that it inevitably leads in its fall society ... and ecosystems.

@ fthanron:
Napo dwarf et aumicon provided answers relevant to your question.
To summarize, I would say that faced with the concern of citizens who are worried about the degradation of the environment, there are, sociologically speaking, two possible attitudes:

1- "Green-washing", which consists in making believe that these criticisms are taken into account and take advantage of them to produce and sell new more 'green "products: it is a new form of planned obsolescence.

2- development of more satisfactory solutions on the bottom (organic farming, fair trade, healthy materials ...) but which work inside of the Totalitarian Merchant System, and thereby gives it a kind of guarantee.
In any case, by their limited nature, these solutions serve to defuse global reforms by providing an outlet for the most motivated.
