nothing is perfectly safe. I toured a coal plant last night. I'm not good with heights -- up 10 stories on the catwalk I was thinking about what would it be like to be in a tremor there. Honestly, I am not a big fan of nuclear energy. And I am dubious that it is a reasonable risk to build it on fault-lines -- but here's the thing -- what other options were there for the Japanese. It is easy to say it was a bad idea now. I have a student from another country. His country is almost all hydro ... talk about subject to the viccissitudes of climate change. Get light snow for some years running and they will be screwed -- but that is easy for me to say -- where can they get the infrastructure to transport fuels to plants there with no real fossil resources of their own? I think we absolutely need to build coal plants in this country -- as a matter of energy and economic security. Only ignorant people think that all growth can be accommodated by renewables or energy efficiency. I say ignorant, with no disrespect. New technology can come along -- but it hasn't and I don't believe we can "tax" it into existence.
