Of course, News 24 is on almost all the time. What a frightening and destructive thing to happen to the people of northern Japan, utterly horrible. I feel so sorry about what has happened to them, and for what will continue to happen to the survivors over the next weeks, months and years.
Whose idea was it to build nuclear plants on seismic fault lines? Should that not be internationally illegal?
If Japan had other energy sources to call on, they would not be so heavily reliant on nuclear power. Surely it's a testament to the builders of the plant that they built it to withstand such an unforeseen event, and it has. There are lots of reasons to be anti-nuclear power, (and I am) but this once-in 1200-years disaster is perhaps not one of them.
