oh wait, they took it down because of trolls like you

[Anonymous No.2716201]

But it is safe. 9.0 Earthquake, hundreds of aftershocks, another 6.0 Earthquake and a tsunami and that plant still hasn't melted down.

[Anonymous No.2716206]

If anything the last few days showed us how FUCKING SAFE nuclear power is. Fucking sheeps

it apparently takes an 8.5 magnitude earthquake to fuck one up, and even then it's only a maybe that anything catastrophic will happen

Liberals say they voted for Obama because he supports science and space exploration, and yet the first thing he does is cancel Constellation because Bush supported it.

No one sees all those CanDU reactors blowing up, do they?

>>2716254
They're sorta like the WTC. The towers were built to "survive" impacts from planes, but not full-size jumbo jets. The plants were built to survive earthquakes, but not one like that.

[Anonymous No.2716262]

If anything, this is showing what a stupid idea it is to have nuclear plants run by private companies who only care about turning a profit, instead of state run and with swathes of funds for maintenance and replacing old reactors.

>implying I'm American or even in that country
And since when would an American defend the left? Socialism can work, but it must be meritocratic. The prevailing flaw of liberalism is the idea of equality. Equality ensures that even the individuals that drag down society get on welfare programs for instance and becomes a burden rather than a benefit to society.

"Liberals" are not one homogeneous group of people, and the definition of that word varies from place to place because the Liberal Party (or its equivalent) stands for different thing in different states

Their politics also rarely have anything to do with nuclear power because that's not a political issue, it's an ignorant hick vs faggot technophile issue

Ah, I see you haven't become aware of the little things we like to call "facts". These "facts" demonstrate that, unlike other venues, this plant actually performed very well considering the circumstances, and government ownership probably wouldn't have mattered a flying fuck.

But to be a liberal you need to have certain things in common, while not all liberals do NOT subscribe to the anti-nuclear dumbassery some do. However the unifying ideal of liberalism was for-mentioned. And it has nothing to do with the tendency of most of them currently being left leaning.

If it were state run, it would have been replaced years ago, instead of trying to get the most out of it.

True liberals believe in equal opportunity. Unfortunately too many people, supportive or not of liberalism, get this mixed up with equality or making everyone identical.

[Anonymous No.2716324]

>>2716298
Of course it's not okay, but it was unavoidable in this case.
If it had been a huge fossil-burning plant, it would have still caused a whole lot of pollution, probably a LOT more death, but people everywhere wouldn't have even NOTICED it.

It's called hypocrisy and it's a little childish.

Are you a fucking idiot? We are arguing about private companies owning crap and maintaining it as little as possible, as opposed to state ownership and proper care.

Fucking capitalist retards.

They don't know what happened or what will happen.
The earthquake and the tsunami were taken pretty well, the loss of electricity, which can happen anywhere, however was not.

That's a slip and the right spelling in my language.

>>2716316
Oh. So, since oil burns and water spills, whatever material they use in that plant does not decay ?

Well, huge fossil-burning plants are not the only alternative.

Equal opportunity has its flaws. For instance notice how scientific programs are expensive. The more we waste our funding on "equal opportunity" welfare programs or even worse this liberal affirmative action nonsense the less of our resources can we alocated to our highest pursuit. The problem with modern liberlas, let alone John Locke and his retardation, is the the fact that these systems obviously don't accurately gauge who will be a contributing member to society and who will drag down society. The utter stupidity of equality is the idea of a focus on bullshit quotas that are NOT completely dedicated to SAT scores, grades, and even IQ or heritable g. All these presented measures have been shown to accurately predict individuals that are predisposed to being intelligent contributing members of society unlike sponges that leech of our systems.

In Japan, where living space is at a premium and storms relatively frequent, and which doesn't exactly abound with rivers to be dammed?

Sure, geothermal might come into question.

The beaches are ugly anyway, flood them with wind generators. Wave and tide generators should also be possible.

Most of those things you discriminate are positive discrimination, which is just as bad. I, as a liberal, think they are terrible things.

A liberal should not support quotas. Demographies are usually not relevant to the situation. The problem is that certain cultures are less disposed towards learning than others. In addition, it can hardly be argued that a ghetto inner-city school is on a par with the top private institutions.

[Anonymous No.2716663]

>>2716402

Those problems are NOT equal opportunity. They are done by people getting equality mixed up with equal opportunity.

People who do not try and are less talented deserve to be rewarded less. Quotas are against equal opportunity.
