State of emergency declared at Japan Nuclear Plant

And this has what to do with the current emergency? It's politics all the way with you isn't it? You can't dance around with glee to the end of nuclear power soon enough can you?

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Yup, here's more lefty concern for the Japanese people.

Aknowledging the reallife dangers of nuclear power plants is lefty? What a fool you are. A meltdown could make entire regions of Japan unihabitable. The damage to Japan from the nuclear power plants could be even worse than the earthquakes and tsunami. I am concerned.

No nukes and no fossil fuels? The Left is going to drag us, kicking and screaming if they have to, into the Dark Ages.

Awesome! Can't wait!

A nuclear disaster could do the same for Japan.

Oh sure you are, you're concerned about fulfilling your political quest to strip the US of the energy requirement it needs. I'll you're against oil too. You make me want to vomit.

That's right! It's why we need to just go ahead and move the world backwards with the Leftist agenda.

Not at all, you tool. I am for nuclear power. Safe nuclear power. Doesn't appear Japans was safe. Oil? We have twenty year reserves at the current consumption rate of oil in this country. How does one be against oil? Eventually it will run out. Then we will be forced to make changes.

You idiot. We have to move forward with better power plants and energy sources.

Move forward by nixing our most efficientm most abundant and most cost effective sources of energy? How does that work? :lamo

We have several nukes either in production, or planned in this country, I sure hope that they don’t look to shave cost by the elimination of backup power when the main power source goes down. Them suckers get HOT.:doh

Is that what we typically do?

Obviously none of the hack posters saw any advantage in responding to this thread. That or they hadn't received any instructions from Rush or Beck as to what they think about the Japanese plight.

As for me, read: After Tokyo 2011: It's the end of [nuclear power] as we know it

It's pretty sad to attempt to politicize this subject and be accusatory, what's your point. I made some close friends over in Japan when i lived there, these are good people and my heart goes out to them as I worry about my friends. Rest assure I'll do my part...
 
Re: 3 nuclear reactors in trouble after Japan quake

I didn't flip through the entire thread so I don't know if someone might have already posted this, but apparently FIVE reactors are in trouble now.
 
Blast at Japan nuke plant

A build-up of hydrogen interacted with oxygen and caused a minor explosion, damaging the outer walls, NOT THE REACTOR VESSEL. They're safe on that account, but if there are more explosions, they could see another Three-Mile Island.
 
Re: 3 nuclear reactors in trouble after Japan quake

Blast at Japan nuke plant

The Fukushima Dai-ichi plant had an explosion when hydrogen reacted with oxygen. The outer walls were damaged, the REACTOR VESSEL IS OKAY. Just worried more of those could happen...

“There was no large amount of radiation leakage outside.” — Yukio Edano, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary​

Well, that's reassuring: no large amount of radiation. Well, not really.

And it's still working. 'Magine that!

Still no replacement gasoline, either.

Instant gratification right winger.
Except we are running out of oil and it seems nuclear plants may not be as safe as they thought.

We're not running out of oil.

You realize that with the increased neutron output resulting from this action, we are all going to die right?

Proven oil reserves in the United States are 21 billion barrels (3.3×10^9 m3), excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The U.S. Department of the Interior estimates the total volume of undiscovered, technically recoverable prospective resources in all areas of the United States, including the Federal Outer Continental Shelf, the 1002 area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska, and the Bakken Formation, total 134 billion barrels (21.3×10^9 m3) of crude oil. This excludes oil shale reserves, as there is no significant commercial production of oil from oil shale in the United States

US proven reserves are 134 billion barrels. We consume 7 billion barrels a year. How many years worth of oil is that? Can you do the math?
You are not one of those faith based wackos that believes oil is being created faster than we use it, are you?

We are in this mess because of ignorant people like you.

Why haven't smart people like you produced a fuel source to replace petroleum and solved the problem?

Well damn! I went and found this special, just for USA-1.

Best of all, the Bakken could be huge. The U.S. Geological Survey's Leigh Price, a Denver geochemist who died of a heart attack in 2000, estimated that the Bakken might hold a whopping 413 billion barrels. If so, it would dwarf Saudi Arabia's Ghawar, the world's biggest field, which has produced about 55 billion barrels.
