Is that because earthquakes make Japanese nuclear power plants inherently vulnerable?
Or even without earthquakes would you consider Japanese nuclear safety inferior to other countries'? Cynicism is intellectual treason.
This is disastrous from a safety point of view where the pervading culture should be one that is not about blame and shame but one where the primary thing is understanding what went wrong and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
