I don't know, if Iowa and Nebraska got hit by a 9.0 earthquake and tsunami, I would be pretty fucking terrified.
- slacka 11y agoha. To clarify my point. The end game of a runaway greenhouse effect is far more terrifying than thousands of nuclear accidents. Sure the local effects of a melt down are scary, but it takes the worst earthquake in the Japan's history to cause that kind of disaster on an obsolete, ancient reactor. Every generation of reactor get safer. Even if they weren't, we learn from every accident. Fukushima could have been prevented. In fact, Onagawa a nearly identical reactor under similar circumstances was spared by the heroic efforts of its operators.[1] [1] http://thebulletin.org/onagawa-japanese-nuclear-power-plant-didn%E2%80%99t-melt-down-311 http://thebulletin.org/onagawa-japanese-nuclear-power-plant-...
