Scumbria, who said you had to build the nuclear plants on the San Andreas fault? Power can be transmitted over hundreds of miles, or else Oregon wouldn't be able to send California their excess power.

Scumbria,

99% of the population in California lives on top of the San Andreas fault.

That was not the question. My question was what percentage of California territory sits on top of San Andreas fault?

I found a map: st-agnes.org
which confirms that there are vast areas where nuclear power plants can safely be built.

RE:"99% of the population in California lives on top of the San Andreas fault. There is at least 10 feet of displacement stress built up in LA and SF."

Got a link for that? 99% seems a bit high.
OTOH, there must be safer zones than others...
Maybe the government could just relocate Silicon Valley to Colorado? LOL...you'd like that...
