Strøtanker om bæredygtighed

Siden jordskælvet og den gigantiske tsunami ud for Japans nordkyst 11. marts i år har jeg løbende fulgt udviklingen, særligt omkring den A-kraft-ulykke ved Fukushima Dai-ichi-værket, som ikke bare har ført til nedsmeltningen af tre reaktorer, men har sat et helt land på den anden ende.

Det har været en øjenåbner, i hvor høj grad et sådant teknologisk kollaps har haft en altgennemgribende indvirkning på 126 millioner menneskers hverdag, og på en lang række områder vil have alvorlige implikationer mange år frem i tiden, ikke bare i Japan, men kloden rundt. Jeg har derfor løbende samlet links til informationer omkring Fukushima-ulykken, som findes kronologisk nedenfor.

Det er stort og småt mellem hinanden, nyheder, baggrund, teknik, lidelse, håb og politiske rænkespil, som kan læses på mange forskellige måder - jeg har med denne liste søgt at fastholde et øjebliksbillede af, hvordan en sådan ulykke udfolder sig på utroligt mange planer – hvordan den overhovedet bliver begribelig - fra fortvivlelsen og usikkerheden overfor, om livsvilkårene i landskaberne omkring Fukushima Dai-ichi-værket nogensinde vil heles, til globale overvejelser om, hvordan vi møder klimaudfordringen og bedst sikrer livsgrundlagets videregivelse til kommende generationer.

Udvælgelsen er sket løbende og rummer usorteret, hvad jeg umiddelbart har hæftet mig ved under vejs. Endda håber jeg, at den kan have værdi for andre.

Den japanske presse har været kaldt verdens kedeligste – der er en tradition for at videregive et ganske nøgternt-positivt billede af det japanske samfund. Opgaven som samfundets vagthund, som står stærkt i den vestlige presses selvforståelse, bliver i Japan varetaget af en noget tandløs godmodigt aldrende  lænkehund, som nok heller ikke hverken ser eller hører så godt mere. Hvis man skal finde mere kritiske kommentarer og analyser, skal man derfor til udenlandske medier.

Og i en situation med tredobbelt katastrofe – jordskælv, tsunami og løbskkørte reaktorer – kalder situationen måske også på en anden presse. Selv efter massakren på Utöy holdt den norske presse længe tilbage med kritik af, hvordan det overhovedet kunne ske, og hvordan det kunne tage så mange timer for politiet at nå frem.

På den korte bane har de japanske medier tilsvarende en vigtig opgave i at medvirke til at holde modet oppe, og at få samfundet til at hænge sammen, frem for at eksponere inkompetente politikere, svigtende ledelse og dømmekraft, afdække det omfattende misbrug af daglejere til det farligste oprydningsarbejde, eller bore i, hvorfor Tepco (Fukushima-værkets ejer) ikke for år tilbage havde revideret sikkerhedsrutinerne og sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne, når der de adskillige gange har været påpeget at være helt utilstrækkelige.

Og tag ikke fejl. Japanerne ved, at deres samfundsinstitutioner har svigtet. Lige under overfladen ligger vreden, frustrationen og fortvivlelsen. Og man har i de seneste måneder set mennesker på gaden for at protestere og markere et ønske om et Japan uden A-kraft i et hidtil uset omfang. I en tid, hvor internettet er blevet reelt interaktivt, er fortielsens strategi dømt til at mislykkes.

Smerten, frustrationen, indignationen, fortvivlelsen og vreden efter Fukushima er så stor og så gennemgribende i det japanske samfund, at der i allle afkroge af samfundet graves i, hvordan det kunne ske, og hvordan det vil kunne undgåes i fremtiden. Så alt ikke bare får lov til at komfortabelt at glide tilbage i business as usual.

Illustrationerne i højre margin er plakater fra siden nonukeart.org, som fanger nogle af de mange stemninger og dilemmaer, som Fukushima-ulykken har kastet det japanske samfund ud i. Se mere derom i det foregående blog-indlæg, Fukushima – No Nukes Art Project.

I det efterfølgende blog-indlæg, Fukushima - otte måneder i tvivl, har jeg prøvet at lave en lille otte-måneders-status i en stadig meget uafsluttet situation.
