Good I guess, as long as you don't have an earthquake.

I haven't been opposed to nuclear power. I live about 20 miles from one.
But this latest incident in Japan sure gives one pause.

as an engineer, i have mixed emotions on this one.

it took a magnitude 9 earthquake AND a tsunami to do this. NOTHING can
withstand that. BUT fossil fuels have their dangers, too. air
pollution kills tens of thousands every year....the gulf oil spill,
etc.

we need a sense of perspective. i dont know if the reactor will
meltdown. but if it does, we still need to put it in context and
compare it to alternatives

As an engineer, don't you have to know how to use proper capitalization
or are you a half-blind train engineer?
