Not an hour has gone by that a spokesperson for Greenpeace hasn't hinted that a magnitude 9 earthquake(!) is an indictment of nuclear power. It's just too darn risky. Well, what isn't risky if Mother Nature can never be involved? Greenpeace and other anti-science activists also claim oil is bad, coal is bad, natural gas is bad - everything is bad except for solar which, given today's technology, actually is really bad.
A fault line in Japan was no reason to shut down power plants in California nowhere near fault lines and now America has been stuck with even more greenhouse gas-emitting energy sources due to the anti-science stance of activists. But those have to go to because traditional energy sources create global warming.
Alex Berezow scolds them for preying on misfortune here.
