Screw nuclear, the cheap bastards should be investing in thermonuclear. They are still making one experimental reactor (iter) that won’t even make plasma till 2019, so we probably won’t see commercial electricity from fusion till after most if not all of us are retirement age. ---

some crazy shit. last week (the day of the earthquake) nat. geo. had a special on tsunamis and earthquakes and a few years ago, 2 geologists discovered some crazy shit going in deep in alaska’s back woods. They came across a lake surrounded by mountains that civilization has never been too. They noticed from the lake edge, all the way up to 450ft around the lake, was all new, bright green tree growth, and then above 450ft was all old tree’s, much darker. what happened was one of the sides of the mountain collapsed into the lake and caused a 450ft wave, knocking out everything…then they went into how if this happened on civilization all the problems we would have. o yah, and right in the middle of NYC, is a big plate fault, that is about due for a nasty earthquake within the next few years. ---

There is also some island off the coast of africa that is literally split like a crack. However unlikely, they say that if the western half of the island were to suddenly collapse into the atlantic that it would cause a tsunami big enough to travel the distance and flood NYC. crazy shit. ---

If a tsunami hits Manhattan say goodbye to NY economy, global stock market, and a million people. Subway floods and it’s fubar, streets are straight with nothing to block the waves, goodbye statue of Liberty and Ellis island. ---

I’m not sure the statue of liberty would be going anywhere. Depends on the size of the tsunami. NY economy? I think you mean the US economy. ---
