I’d love to know what they mean by “shifting the planet on its axis”...given that the axis is the center of rotation, and surely the entire mass distribution of the planet (down to the core) didn’t change...
just a guess, but im ASSuming the ‘magnetic north’ has been moved once again, more than the constant drift...
I’ve e-mailed my brother on this as he would understand what this means, if anything. Interesting though. I also saw an aerial shot of the coastline before and after the Tusammi....marked difference in where it once was.
“The value of your sensationalistic information to any reasond mind is actually less than 0. So please reformat your information into a rational explanation which conforms to accepted laws of physics so people can gain something from it.”
Well, I understood exactly what they meant and I am slightly irked that I wasted the time to read your post in the mistaken assumption that it somehow contributed to the conversation.
And you misspelled “reasoned”.
“Lives are being saved because power system/grid there is working.”
HA... You mean lives are being saved because they have something other than Nuclear power that is still working. The nuke plants are all shut down. To bad the other 30% is not non-nuclear. Because then all the lights would be on.
“t’s a shame that the environmentalists haven’t spent their energy helping to design bullet proof reactor designs. Instead they’ve spread lies and propaganda to scare the living feces out of people.”
And it never ceases to amaze me how easily the lies and propaganda on your size can be proven wrong. I mean claiming that the remaining power that is on in Japan is nuclear when they are all shut down. And 60-70 percent is non-nuclear. Jeez... We must be over run with government operatives.
The coastal city of Rikuzentakata was virtually destroyed by a tidal wave, with almost all the city submerged, the local police said. Tsunami reached as high as the third floor of the city hall, and only a few buildings remained in the urban area.
The coastal area of Miyako City and almost all of the town of Yamada, both in were also submerged
The town of Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture said, ‘’More than 90 percent of the houses in three coastal communities have been washed away by tsunami. Looking from the fourth floor of the town hall, I see no houses standing.

Wow...a little on your ‘green?’ computer would help. Per the LA Times:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-sci-japan-quake-nuclear-20110312,0,2627198.story
Five of Japan’s reactor shut down due to varying quake issues; 6 others had quake ‘triggered’ shut downs. Forty four others still up and running. Providing energy to the rest of the island.
My post was anti-Chicken Little. I was only scolding the anti-nukers on the feed to get themselves educated about nuclear power before starting up the "ban nukes!" wail.
That post lasted only seconds before it disappeared. Commies.
A person doesn’t have to be a leftist to consider nuke power not worth the expense and risk.
Ok so some are still up waiting to be wiped out like these ones. But:
*******************************************************
* Japan needs to import some 80% of its energy requirements.
* Its first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in mid 1966, and nuclear energy has been a national strategic priority since 1973.
* The country’s 54 reactors provide some 30% of the country’s electricity and this is expected to increase to at least 40% by 2017.
* Japan has a full fuel cycle set-up, including enrichment and reprocessing of used fuel for recycle.

So 80 percent is not even produced in Japan. It is coming from somewhere else.
only 30 percent of 20 percent(Produced in Japan) is Nuclear. That is not very much in the big picture(6-7 Percent).
And of those 11 shut down I don’t think many of them are coming back online soon. And I know that several of them should never come back on line again.
“The most irradiated spot on Earth is?”
Chelyabinsk...
With the Oak Ridge processing buildings not far behind...
Agree with that. I am not a leftist, and I don’t consider it to be worth the Risk. In my mind an old fashioned conservative would not be for nuclear power because of the risk. They would rather conserve than to put their children and the whole of God’s world at such huge risk. I used to think of conservatives as sensibly spiritual people. But it seems that many of them have turned. They even seem to love Bankers like Goldman Sachs after what they have done. Instead of demanding justice, they are first to want to protect them.
Interesting...but frightful and lucky those people made it to safety.
I’m breathlessly waiting for Glenn Beck’s assessment and analysis...NOT!!
