Japan IS a fault line.
They have no oil of their own.
They don't have their own coal.
They don't get a lot of sun.
They couldn't possibly build enough windmills and wires to power their industry.
What should they do?
What has happened is tragic, unprecedented, and will be learned from. Nuclear plants will get better.
More people have died from refinery accidents than from nuclear accidents. More people have died from coal mining accidents and natural gas explosions than from nuclear plant accidents. We need to put this into perspective. It isn't the end of the world.
“We need to put this into perspective”
Maybe, but people won’t though. Because if this stuff gets in the air then they or their children might breath it and reduce their life expectancy. They’re not personally affected by the coal accident.
You’re never going to convince people differently.
Yes, it will be learned from, but that won’t stop leftist agitators with anti-US intentions calling for a “moratorium on nuclear plants until we know what happened”
Bravo..!
I swear, reading FR tonight, you would think freepers WANT a catastrophe. Let's see what the containment structure does and pray for the 50 left inside.
