I’d bet the farm this is the excuse Obammy needs to stop America’s nuclear industry.
Same as he used the Gulf blowout to stop drilling in water.
This will kill New Nuclear Power plants for decades just like “Three Mile Island” did.
Why not just post it here?
The solution is simple. Ban earthquakes! That makes at least as much sense as fighting global warming. Throw in volcanoes, tornados and hurricanes, too. They cause a lot of damage. Ban them all and we can live in peace and feel good about ourselves.
Perhaps this is the answer

A 50 year old nuke plant survives a 9.1 earthquake and a 12 ft(?) tsunami...
Impressive.
Some European nut has blamed the Japan earthquakes on global warming...so if we just follow St. Algore there will be no earthquakes.
I live 20 miles form one nuke plant and 60 from another. My only regret is there aren’t more, here in the nice stable flyover country of the midwest where earthquates are very small and easily mitigated. Consider all the facts before forming conclusions about nuclear power. The tragedy in Japan was not a result of a nuclear accident, but of plant siting and design. A bigger tragedy would be to (again) stop development of safe, clean, efficient nuclear power because of this.
And for heavens’s sake, everyone keep Jane Fonda the hell away from TV cameras...
