Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011, where a tsunami following a powerful earthquake led to the failure of the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors, resulting in a significant release of radioactive materials. -

The earthquake happened and the plant was fine. The Tsunami which flooded the reactor room and fried the generators making it unable to cool is what caused the meltdown.
This was a failure of the GOVERNMENT OWNED AND SUBSIDIZED Tokyo Electric Company who controls an effective energy monopoly in a highly regulated industry. The failures of safety against rising waters on a coastal Nuclear plant is a unique safety risk and 100% caused by human error, cost cutting and lack of safety investment.
None of these factors exist at the three mile island site. Japan is one of the most active earthquake zones in the world and these measures should have been taken. A US inland Nuclear site with almsot zero seismic activity that has billions invested into it by one of the largest corporations in the world has virtually zero safety risks, a completely different situation from Fukushima.
The NIMBY logic starts to break down quickly when you look at the facts. Trump wants to build more nuclear and nuclear powered bitcoin so expect a lot more of these kind of projects being approved for the next 4 years, YOU VOTED FOR IT!!! -

I bet they bite pretty hard. My fear isn't the bite its what's in the bite. what would I die from
they also have been eating shrews in california. it's shocking to scientist who never knew squirrels murdered and ate other rodentsThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

What are the odds? US nuke plants ranked by quake risk
Nuclear power plants built in the areas usually thought of as earthquake zones, such as the California coastline, are no longer those with the highest risk of an earthquake causing core damage. We rank all 104 reactors in the U.S. from NRC data.

You clearly either believe the government or will present any data that supports your argument of the day. -
2025-01-19 at 6:19 PM UTCI have criticized public energy initiatives this entire thread and said that almost all nuclear disasters were because they were government operated and not run by the private market with profit incentives.
The reality is that the Nuclear industry has a lot of self regulation in a global format and they don't really give a shit about what any government says, because throughout history they tend to be extremely biased, wrong and willing to cut safety standards to reduce costs for their public funded ventures.
If you have any trust issues with public companies running nuclear than Microsoft taking over should bother you at all. They can verify this data with their own highly paid geologist surveys to figure out what's true or not, and if they need a lot of energy for a long term they probably don't want to risk and earthquakeUNITED STATES

Notice how the government doesn't even compile it's own safety reports and instead farms it out to a public utility company for them to pay for the safety survey. It doesn't really make sense when a public company does it and it's obviously biased, which is why private is better.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExelonExelon Corporation is a public utility headquartered in Chicago, and incorporated in Pennsylvania. Exelon is the largest electric parent company in the United States by revenue and is the largest regulated electric utility in the United States with approximately 10 million customers. The company is ranked 99th on the Fortune 500.
I'm much more willing to trust Microsoft than a public utility company. -

The fact that you're willing to trust either...
