We need to find ways to make nuclear plants safer as Fukushina showed us, but requiring a magnitude 8 earthquake followed by a 30 meter tsunami to cause a massive enough accident that nobody was killed by radiation also shows that we've come a long way in making nuclear power plants pretty safe. How many casualties would there have been if that same earthquake and tsunami had hit a coal mine? How much environmental distruction had they hit a refinery or an oil tanker in port?<br /><br><br><br />Of course culture also plays a role. I do worry about the nuclear plant in Taiwan simply because of the culture of jerry-rigging I see so much of in Taiwanese people.Readinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-395626427709119292011-05-02T07:16:43.519+08:002011-05-02T07:16:43.519+08:00Xiao Ying, my darling little frog, the broth is he...Xiao Ying, my darling little frog, the broth is heating up.<br />湯加热。小英, 乖乖的的小蛙蛙。<br />汁が熱くなる。小英、我が可愛カエル。waltzing Jalomanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-90546639012391009832011-05-02T03:21:35.943+08:002011-05-02T03:21:35.943+08:00Hi Michael - I've been following your blog for...Hi Michael - I've been following your blog for a while. I just wanted to thank you for your insightful posts on Taiwanese politics. You really help me understand the intricacies involved and seem to have an understanding that most media covering Taiwanese politics either don't have or have but only want to push their own agenda.Adam Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108516638954449548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-30819343626696550302011-05-02T00:48:05.798+08:002011-05-02T00:48:05.798+08:00The "China Post-McClatchy-Tribune Informatio...The "China Post-McClatchy-Tribune Information Services" piece is in fact bizarre since it was only picked up by a spammy looking news aggregator TMC..
