Nuclear..surviving multiple natural disasters

Any dangerous technology including nuclear power generation has been given a wakeup call. Such technologies must be used in a manner that they can survive multiple strikes by nature. This of course should be weighed against a cost-benefit ratio and people will be quibbling forever about the value of a human life. I think the value of an average human life should be pegged at 2 million dollars. ( I pulled this number out of a hat based on the wildly varying values ranging from zero in some parts of the world to 1 billion dollars by the EPA )

Think about what will happen in Japan if there is another earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater. Along with resultant tsunami, we can kiss all the on-going rescue efforts goodbye.

OBAMA loves spending OPM

POTUS and world emperor Obama loves to spend other people's money. He is a careful with money as a shop-a-holic let loose with someone else's credit card.

He sets the military upon Libya ( attacking and killing and aiding unknown organizations ). The action in Libya may turn out to be one of the most embarrassing things the USG has engaged in.

Anyway... the USG has used up it's credit, it's credit limit, it's over-draft , loans from family and now it is just stealing. Stealing from US taxpayers present and future. As the leader in the USG charge , Obama ensures a place in history along with other OPM free spenders such as Bush 1 , Bush 2 , the Clintons ..........

I am an optimist ; but really how is the USA going to survive this onslaught ?
