No climate change is supported by the science. The atmosphere and the oceans are not too big to fail. Scientists do not follow an ideology, they observe, model and make predictions from their models.
There are many suggested solutions, not all include higher taxes and less freedoms. We should support an increase in new nuclear build and increased research into new nuclear with the goal of construction of a new fleet of molten salt thorium reactors.
It’s too early to call what the long term consequences of Fukushima will be. There may be more bad news to come, the stainless steel piping in Nuclear plants is not designed to have sea water pumped round it. Sea water caused the metal to become brittle increasing the chance of failure. If there is high pressure in the reactor one of these pipes could fail.
Given that some of the workers in the plant have radiation burns from standing in water, this may have already happened.
Turning the electricity back is not going to be an easy task as the insides of these reactors resemble bomb sites after the hydrogen explosions they have endured.
I hope your prediction is correct but I fear it’s just a prediction and you should not report it as fact.
Poterholer seems to have taken your work apart, by actually doing science journalism correctly.
How about doing the decent thing and publish a correction/retraction of your story? Or is the science section on your site, shall we say "not science"?
