So our power plant is designed to handle an earthquake half the strength of what Japan just experienced in 2011. Prayer is more effective than trust on that note.

Imagine not being able to be around the Bay for a long, long time. Let’s band together and get it outta here!

One wonders if the folks at TEPCO felt that way….
