: : I guess the Japan earthquake proves once and for all that we don't want nuclear reactors. One little earthquake and it's all over for anybody living near one of those things.
: Wrong. The amazing thing is, every single nuclear reactor in Japan came through their worst earthquake in history totally unscathed (even the oldest ones). But through some incredibly dumb oversight about tsunamis, their electrical systems and their backup generators were placed on low ground where they would end up underwater. That is what caused the problem over there, not the earthquake.
Are you some kind of pro nuke nut? Just look at the news on every channel why don't you. Everybody in the world now knows all those damned nuclear reactors in the US are ticking time bombs waiting to melt down. Mark my words the next time there is an earthquake in California the same thing will happen to us. Millions could be killed and millions more will die of cancer.
