WRONG ANSWER! It should be: wow, the nuclear power plant survived not ONLY a 9.2 earthquake but a huge tsunami on top - we should be able to replicate their designs and place nuclear plants where natural disasters are minimal (here in AZ we HAVE one of the best in the country - there is alot of land out in AZ/NV that could be ideal for more power plants if the enviros got muzzled)

Better yet, stop forcing the continued use of 40 and 50 year old technology and build new state of the art nuclear plants.

Yo Leib! Just don't build the nuclear power plants on top of fault lines or near the ocean. It isn't rocket science there Bubba!

One of my favorite quotes from another FReeper is, "That's why people who study the oceans don't live near them".

What’s to understand? A once in a life-time earthquake followed by a once in a lifetime tsunami. What many look at as reasons against, I see as reasons for.

Why is the Left so determined to have us dependent on foreign sources of energy?

From what I’ve heard on the nuke plant troubles, it was not the quake which did them in, but the sea water. Moral is: place them at higher elevations. IMHO.
