Pondering the future of Japan.
The future of Japan does not look good to me. They would have been able to eventually recover sooner if it was only the earthquake and tsunami but when the nuclear issue happened all bets were off. How much of Japan will become uninhabitable and for how long? I never realized Japan had so many nuclear plants. What I find kind of scary is building all those plants in an area that is so prone to earthquakes. The US also could face this same problem someday. They have a number of plants built by major fault lines. They can say they have plans in place for any situation so there is not much danger to anyone. As we can see their plans are not working very well. Maybe,eventually, they might be able to get it somewhat under control but the danger will always be there. By then we just might be hearing from another potential problem. With all of those earthquakes and after shocks a volcano or two might just wake up and show it's power. ...
