    Too much sensationalism, too little fact.
    ??? That was true about the nuclear reactor not just a rumor.


    We have Wolf Creek here in Kansas. It's built to take winds of up to 300 mph but would not fair well in an earthquake they say.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Yes, they are having issue with the reactors.

    No, this isn't going to end the world.

    Cut back on the hype, I know, science is booorrring, but guess what? THe world relies on science. Sci-Fi authors have discussed solar powersats in space for decades, and you can get a much higher energy density doing that. So what do we do? Cut back on funding NASA as it's all a boondoggle.
    Tidal, wind and solar are all decent supplements, but the energy densities are low, and NIMBY groups prevent them from being used. (Now the wind farms up here in NY are under court challenge.......again)

    This is going to be spun up in the press to become a luddite movement.......the proof in is Germany's reaction.
