"did not cause any harm" - for a very loose defintion of harm. Sure it could have been much worse. But enough ground and water was contaminated, and much more will be in the future when they run out of storage.

And how much ground water is contaminated with fossil fuel extraction?

and who has actually been directly affected by this? I think it's your definition of harm that is too loose and overly inclusive.

Your average oil spill does 100x more damage to the ecosystem and economy than fukushima

So Fukushima did no harm, because the 100 000 people who had to be evacuated were not harmed?

They didn't need to be evacuated, or at least not so quickly --- at least in hindsight.

I'm trying to compromise a bit with the "at least"s :)
