    No Protesters 2012. Air conditioning, easy travel and full employment are more important. Does anyone care about the cost to taxpayers for control and clean-up?

    What a bunch of losers they would rather that all the production jobs go overseas. Talk about people not seeing the "big picture"

    At the moment we need Nuclear power what we don't is the "old boys network" running the safely side

    I can't believe that some nuclear power plants are sitting on/around potential dangerous active faults for years. The most terrible disasters would happen sooner or later if they don't stop them now. It seems that Japan digs its own grave if it don't stop nuclear power.

    @kwat: Need to add the U.S. and China to the list of countries that operate nuclear plants in proximity to active faults or along coastlines subject to tsunamis.

    All of Japan sits on a fault zone. It is the reason Mt. Fuki as well as all the other mountains exist. Plates crash together, mountains form. The tsunami took out the power plant. Remote (minimum 20 KM) power supplies are the best solution to keeping the reactor cool.

    No need for remote, and infact that makes things worse. Simply don't build your transformers and generators on ground level, build them up on the hills (which practically every site has) that are 30m or taller... and build several places just in case one comes down due to a mudslide or something of that nature.

    The right to assemble and protest is an important one.

    Yes, but the right to blatantly lie is not.

    I guess at least five people don't believe in the right to assemble and protest? I wonder which country they live in?
