Japan

very cool racing............they use the single cylinder, 500cc bikes that they use in arena racing, cept. they do it on ice........wheels stands and everything........but no brakes!!! and studded tires!!

I agree about not wanting to send any help, I think big countries such as Japan can hold their own.

On the other hand I am sympathetic to the people over there, including some acquaintances I know over there and a few Japanese bikers here who still have family over there. Nobody deserves to get sh!t on as much as all those who lived through a Super Quake, then a tsunami, and now the possibility of being radiated. Personally I think the International Atomic Energy Agency should have stepped in early rather than allowing a private company to continue trying to fix their own failing facilities. The agency is suppose to prevent future Chernobyls.

It's just a bad situation for everyone.

Problem with this particular corp. company is they have been caught in previous lies and cover up. I wouldn't trust them.

Pretty sure they didn't expect a mega quake and tsunami wave that big all at one
time.

Don't mind helping out, that's what we do, it's a drop in the bucket in the budget

If you really want to get washington fixed you have to fix SSI, Medicare and the military
budgets, thats the money part the rest is small potatoes.

Rather get it contained, cleaned and back to as normal as possible to shut up
the anti nuke people...

I'm glad Oregon has no Nuke plants, we use mostly water power, there is a coal fired plant up the Columbia River Gorge but its shutting down. All the damns have fish ladders or tunnels for them to get around and up river.

I just heard that the one in Japan is 40 years old, had cracks that they tried to cover up and the plant was out dated.

Many Nuke plants are old,
greenies forced the governments
to slow or stop production

I'd take a nuke plant any day,
no foreign oil, no coal, no gas,
clean power, and safe.

Without the wave nothing would have happened at this plant.

Solar and wind can't keep up with demand and really who wants
a mountain top covered with big old ugly windmills...

That is great for you guys that live in flat country but a big advantage for us is what do we do with all that excess water we have roaring down the rivers and heading back to the ocean, make electricity with it.
We have those wind mills to, Columbia Gorge is a very windy place but they simply don't produce enough electricity to make them a big huge factor. We have had so much extra power over the years they have been selling it to Calif.

JB, those windmills are huge and ugly, they ruin the landscape.
