Is there a role for nuclear energy?

go away little thing of no intelligence.

Wave - 10,000 to 20,000 dead
Nukes - 9 injured

Is that about right?

This is the biggests disaster you could ever expect to put a nuclear powerplant through. It is a worst case senario... you fearmongerers are obviously hoping like hell that it turns out a whole hell of a lot worse than Chernobyl, with all the whine that has been brought already. What did Chernobyl kill? 100?

Pales into insignificance, really.

I am getting emails from American friends depicting "the USA West Coast is facing a disaster" due to the nuclear "problems" in Japan. Complete with maps and wind direction diagrams and all. I almost replied with "leftard bullshit, ignore it" but decided against it. Let them all get scared for their "safety" from the wind blowing from that direction. Bugger the fact that the Japanese have a disaster on their hands (act of god) and have lost thousands and thousands of innocent people, more than the USA has lost ever, except due to War. Sometimes I wonder about the yanks and their propensity to make everything about THEM.

I have a friend in Tokyo. He and his family are OK thankfully.

The Japanese are one of the most organised of peoples. They live in an earthquake prone country and are ever-ready from childhood. This earthquake has been a real shock to even the old people as it is the biggest, ever.

My Japanese friend is a long time epal, he is Japanese. He works as a Translator (Japanese to English) for an Engineering Company (technical stuff) and often emails me to ask for help when he is stuck with a grammatical problem. He sends a sentence that he has translated but doesn't sound quite "right" and I change a couple of things.

I read that there are about 11,000 Aussies living and working in Japan. This doesn't surprise me. It's a beautiful country.

Yes, hope all is well,
should the winds move with air currents then yes, U.S.A will cop the shit,
but on the other hand, Japan areas are known for typhoon winds are they not?
if there is a meltdown and winds swirl around Japan and the islands, say goodbye to Japan.
Very unfortunate and scarey.

It sounds like a lot of countries could be in the shit if typhoon winds occur.

Read the real Japanese Times Newspaper http://www.japantimes.co.jp/ it is in English but (obviously) written for the English-speaking Japanese population. There isn't a "major" problem in the US of A at the moment so they are concentrating on somebody else's "disaster" and even then they have the bloody hide to make is sound like the US of A is at risk. Talk about Big Shots.

USA has Hurricanes
Australia has Cyclones
Japan has Typhoons

Same thing.

Tsunami is a Japanese name for a Tidal Wave (if I remember correctly) it has now become something that Yank Weather people talk about when there is a bit of a gust/wind near Florida. Geeze.

Geeze, all I was saying is that should the worst come about and there is the west to east winds that would normally flow across the ocean then of course the USA would be effected, to what degree? no one knows, but there is also the possibility of Typhoon/cyclone/twister/hurricane or whatever winds occuring in the Japan islands at the same time of a meltdown should that occur.
One would have thought that was obvious in the way it was writen. Geeze and double geeze.

That's OK. ALP voters are renown for only thinking of themselves.
