What do you plant to use to power your utopian world?

I'm of the "all of the above" frame of mind, where it comes to energy production. For the record, I'm not a Utopian, either.

I may have misinterpreted your post. Sorry.

No prob, LH. It happens to all of us from time to time. I'm no more innocent than anyone else, when it comes to that.

Are these some of the reactors that our government bailed-out G.E. built for them.?

[Jedidah]

Thanks. There’s so much conflicting information out there, it’s hard to know how much to worry.

And the Japanese powers-that-be are almost certainly not telling all.

He is right, but number 3 is 3 mile island. This is going to turn out to be bad locally and they are going to lose some workers. It will not be much more than that, most likely

Could they have put them fifty feet above the ground level, maybe?

Do not know if 50 feet would be enough. There were multi-story homes and buildings and fires in that Tsunami cement mixer. Then of course the ground could subside from the quake.

The reactors are well in from the coast, I believe. The diesel generator damage was said to be salt water. They probably had them at ground level or below.
