any americans living in west coast planning to leave due to fukushima?

Because they need seawater to cool down the reactor so it can run normally ? Other nuclear plants use water from rivers and lakes.

 

The real question is: "why build it on a major fault-line?"

 

Because the majority of human populations (and all of Japan) live near the ****ing ocean? Just a wild guess.

 

Yep, so far it's been pretty awesome. The girlfriend got a good job offer out here and we couldn't pass up the opportunity.
