It's from the earthquake & tsunami off Japan recently that caused the whole thing with the Japanese nuclear power plant @ Fukushima back in March 2011.
Not a huge fan of Nukes - of either kind. But we're stuck with them for the foreseeable future I guess so we'll need to deal with them. Unfortunately we can't un-invent them!
I don't know why *I* am, but despite my sentimental bias for distributed power, from a 'lean green' perspective nuclear seems our only option beyond coal and oil.
Either the pilot was on something really really good or there was a tsunami or a hurricane.

ReplyDeleteFukushima was a disaster all around. Nuclear power can't catch a break!

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of wind power - no matter how impractical it is to power a whole civilisation. I guess that's just my Romantic side showing through.
ReplyDeleteme too CK; and tidal power and fusion if that ever happens...
ReplyDeleteI'm in favor of a wind/solar combination.
