Looks not good. And does not look like one would expect for inside a nuclear power plant. Looks more like an abandoned research lab before cleanup.

Smith: Thanks for your comment.
Actually the situation in Germany related to harvest power from wind was not always successful in the past. There had been initial developments and research projects (Growian = Gross-wind-anlage) in the MW-class, which had failed. However, companies have learned from it, and now the most balanced choice are wind-generators in the 2-3 MW class. The open, and so far not yet solved question is how to bridge times, when there is not enough wind. So this is the question of energy storage. Hydroelectric storage works, but it is already used, where possible. Other storage technologies like fuel cells, flywheel-generators, or batteries need technology advances to complete the picture.

Here is a simple one:
To save money, employees should not use highways for business-trips by car. Well, still it is OK to use, but the highway toll will not be re-imbursed.

I like to add some numbers. One week ago I had a chance to read the German Newspaper "die Zeit" (19th May), which had an extensive article on wind-energy in Germany. In short, 2 percent of Area in Germany if used properly to set up for wind-energy can deliver up to 65 percent of the energy consumed. Already, 4 prefectures (Mecklenburg, Schleswig-Hostein, Sachsen-Anhalt, and Brandenburg) provide approx. 50 percent of the netto power consumed by wind energy. The highest installed power can be found in Niedersachsen (6664 Mega-Watt). The smallest installed power is in the 3 prefectures Baden-Wuertemberg, Bayern, and Hessen, each. approx. 500 Mega-Watt.
For background information and sources, see the IWES (Fraunhofer-Institute for Wind-energy and Energy-systems).

Actually, Putzmeister is a German company. The head office is in the village Aichtal in Germany. And in the USA some of the subsidiaries are located. The company also has a branch office in Chiba prefecture, so they know how to do the paperwork when they are importing this kind of big machinery.

In Ibaraki-ken, approx. 20 km north of Mito, we could feel this new quake, but as far as I noticed, actually no damage and no power outage. In the time between we had renewed two bookshelves that had been falling down after the big one, and we also had improved the way the things are stored, like some good comments by other readers suggest, so yesterday, we were safe. Only a Bey-blade arena and a Lego Ninja go arena of the children were flying down from a shelf to a cushion the ground.
Of course the children were waking up and asked what happened, but 5 minutes later, they were back at sleep.

Directly related to the fears of nuclear disasters is the song "dancing with tears in my eyes" from Ultravox. Probably the middle aged generation knows this song and remembers the context: a nuclear disaster by a nuclear plant nearby.
