In all fairness only a tiny portion of the US in a earthquake zone. Nuclear power is part of the solution not the only one.

Thanks for reminding FReepers that it is only California vulnerable to earthquakes and communists.

“In all fairness only a tiny portion of the US in a earthquake zone.”

Oh yeah? Take a look at this:

I count two, -maybe- three US states in that which don’t show significant quakes in the last couple hundred years.

you say “In all fairness only a tiny portion of the US in a earthquake zone. “

Really? Gosh, you have relieved my mind.

We are constantly discovering previously unknown faults.

I was living in Calif in the early ‘70’s when it was discovered that the newly ocnstructed Diablo nuclear plant was built over a unknown fault. Oops.

Even Arkansas just had a large swarm that ended in a pretty good quake for them.

And then there's the volcanoes. Sure hope that caldera in Yellowstone goes back asleep - or it won't matter WHERE on earth we live - game over.
