The new tilt to the earths axis is caused by the shift in that land mass. It has actually spead up the earth rotation so we are spinning fast enough to shorten each day by 1.8 micro seconds. Since the earth wobblesa bit in its spin on its axis scientists are not 100% sure what the 4 inches and greater speed are going to do. It should massively effect the difference between the seasons at one point though. Meaning extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters for us in certain stages or the earths orbit ---

IDK if I agree with you on that one Wayne. Yeah some older reactors should be shut down and replaced with new technology. But I think the technology we have today should be able to make it safe enough. Nothing is ever 100% safe. I do think they should build reactors in more remote locations though. Just looking at that map in the past page shows most of our country’s reactors on the east coast and like nothing in the mid west… power transmission has come along way, we don’t need to be super close to our power sources. ---

And if it’s bad now, at this rate it will be pushing 10 billion in a decade or two. ---

the technology, when operated by the right people, in the right way, IS safe. Unfortunately our world is too corrupted by power, greed, money, politics etc. No matter what, documentation will eventually get forged, safety inspections will get lax or forged, man is to imperfect to handle a technology like this that requires 100% perfection. ---
