The Science of Fixing Corporate Disasters & Alien Invasions

As I mentioned earlier, the Science we have for fixing things is no where near the science for monitoring and regulating things, and that is light years away from the real SCIENCE we use for short-term profits.

When Fukushima had problems, we used good old-fashioned firemen, firetrucks, and we pumped sea water over the nuclear pile.
When millions of gallons of oil were gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, we had a big old wad of garbage ready to shove into the oil well. (Truth to tell, this sounds more like a cartoon cure for trouble than a "real world" cure.)

If the science we are using to make money is up to date, the science for regulatory services is 50 years behind, and the science for fixing screw-ups is at least 150 years behind.

So when there actually is an alien invasion, we will probably use Kryptonite to hold them back.
