or maybe we are all in way over our heads. Maybe there's nothing that can be done.

After 2 1/2 years, I would say those 'running the Earth' or either in grand denial or just do not care.
Billions in a bank account won't save someone from the disaster, but maybe they think it can.
I just seems to me that those who have the resources to 'possibly' fix this just don't care. If they did we would not be in this situations.

WIthin the next 60 days a procedure will begin that has the potential of threatening the health of the entire earth. This article does a good job of explaining what is at stake when TEPCO begins the extremely perilous task of removing 400 tons of spent fuel assemblies from the cooling pool teetering above the debris of the #4 reactor.
This threatens not only a fissionable event with approximately 1400 fuel assemblies, it threatens a criticality if the entire pool collapses into a pile. This threatens the ability of humans or even machines from keeping the 6000 fuel assemblies (how MANY tons is that) stored only 50 meters away in cooling containment...and a total of 11,000 fuel assemblies on site, and of course the three melting cores that are as we speak headed to the mantle of the Earth, from multiplying this event into one the size that threatens the health of every creature on this Earth.
