plant trees.. NOW..NOW...NOW 0.tqn.com 8 June 2011 Arizona Blazing A huge wildfire in the US state of Arizona that has forced thousands from their homes, continues to grow as the blaze rages for an 11th day. The fire is heading for transmission lines that supply electricity to hundreds of thousands of people as far east as Texas, and could reach the power supply as early as Friday. The so-called Wallow fire is now the second-largest in the state's history. Two more towns in the fire's path were evacuated late on Wednesday. Winds fuelling the fames drove the last hold-outs from Greer, a small town near the New Mexico border, and pushed out 7,000 residents from the nearby towns of Eagar and Springerville. At this point, official say, the wildfire, named after the Bear Wallow Wilderness area is considered to be 0% contained.

very not good Nuclear fuel has melted through base of Fukushima plant The nuclear fuel in three of the reactors at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant has melted through the base of the pressure vessels and is pooling in the outer containment vessels, according to a report by the Japanese government. By Julian Ryall, Tokyo 1:06AM BST 09 Jun 2011 The findings of the report, which has been given to the International Atomic Energy Agency, were revealed by the Yomiuri newspaper, which described a "melt-through" as being "far worse than a core meltdown" and "the worst possibility in a nuclear accident." A spokesman for Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the company is presently revising the road-map for bringing the plant under control, including the time required to achieve cold shutdown of the reactors. In a best-case scenario, the company says it will be able to achieve that by October, although that may have to be revised in light of the report. Water that was pumped into the pressure vessels to cool the fuel rods, becoming highly radioactive in the process, has been confirmed to have leaked out of the containment vessels and outside the buildings that house the reactors.

Another Act of God.. Fire threatens Tucson power supplies NEW YORK (Reuters) – Tucson's power company warned it may have to impose rolling blackouts if the giant fire in the eastern part of the state knocks out two big transmission lines that provide much of the city's energy supply. Tucson Electric said on its website the Wallow Fire in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona was threatening two 345-kilovolt (kV) lines and could reach the grasslands near its 1,200-megawatt Springerville coal-fired power plant. Even though Tucson is located away from the fire in south central Arizona about 200 miles southwest of Springerville, the power lines are one of the city's primary sources of energy. "The loss of those lines would interrupt delivery of enough energy to serve more than half of Tucson Electric's anticipated peak energy demand under current weather conditions," the utility said.
