If we were to demolish all of them every 10 years and rebuild, it would cost the owners and the federally backed loans somewhere in the 1.2 TRILLION dollars a decade. Go troll somewhere else.

when the us has a major nuclear issue. Everyone is gonna say when didnt we spend the money to make is safer.. Human Life or money . Which one is more important

Smart thinking but then the big cities would be closer to the shores and then more people would die to the tsunami. Or do you plan on building a powerplant in the middle of Tokyo?
Hey that could make a theme park out of it, have a roller coaster go around the cooling towers, call it "The atomic Bullet!"

There alot more places they could be built away from the coast and cities

it would be better to rebuild power plants every 5-10 years as long as the saftey of the poeple was 1st and cost 2nd.

According the the EPA, Human life is only about 6.9million dollars. So how much money do you save versus how many lives do you put at risk?

No, it would not be better to rebuild every 10 years, because they would lose money. Why build something when you lose money on it? For fun? No. They would build coal power plants instead if that was a requirement, not because they are safer, but because the health impacts are harder to determine, that is all.

Nuclear power should be the future of our energy.

I dunno, that's a pretty big number. 200+ years ago life wasn't worth anything in many parts of the world, and people would sacrifice people for their own monetary gain without a second thought.

true, especially if u know that every 20 years there could be a horrible earthquake that may also cause a *** strong wave to blow away my nuclear plant, which will cost many many souls .....

serousliy idk there´s a way to stop such a natural power like a tsunami, but i could imagine there would have been some better and less dangerous places to built such a plant!

people like that should be jailed for killing others. that is murder. there is no grey that ***is pure black and white to me. safety is all ways greater than cost. instead of people being protected we should fear our gov'ts in what they do and hope for the best.

There is a difference between being a heartless *** and being a realist. The events in Japan have made me very sad, my heart feels for their loss, but that doesn't mean I need to go looking for someone to pin the blame on. "If only you cared more about life and less about your damn money this wouldn't have happened!!"
It doesn't work like that. There are many people that take advantage of others, but most use good faith when dealing with nuclear power plants, or other risk based institutions (read: everything) to do what they can. Did it ever occur to you that wasting money needlessly harms peoples lives too?

Fine. Then you pick up the $3000/month electricity bill that they would have to charge you for the kind of stuff you're demanding.

Beyond a certain point, the costs get so high that nobody gets electricity, including you.

Exactly, no matter what you do you affect people in some way. Make an institution perfect and charge so much for the service that no one can afford it, and they must go without.

This is correct. Perhaps in the future they will have a different location for the plant, or perhaps tsunami proof backups in some sort of underground facility. This event was horrific and there was now way it could be planned for, but it can be learned from.

Do you have any idea how much that would *** weigh? A one foot long segment of your 700 foot wide, 100 foot high wall could weigh somewhere around SEVEN THOUSAND TONS.

That would be putting something around 7200 psi per square inch on the ground, for your entire wall.

And you are talking about building them *OFF THE COAST*, in the water.

Do you have any concept of what that building such a wall would do, ecologically, physically, or economically?

You obviously have no effing clue what is involved. So please, just be quiet and put the pointy cap back on.

*Edit* Yes, I know psi stands for per square inch. I'm guessing the person I quoted didn't.
*Edit 2* *pound per square inch, /sigh

What would be the incentive to better ones self if anyone could go down and get anything they wanted for free? Hell, if no one worked, there would be no power, no safety regulators, no one to build the safety equipment, etc... It's a domino effects, and it just wouldn't work...

Sometimes I don't think before you post.

Money exists to represent worth. And while every human life is equally important, their contribution to society differs. There are very few people who have money for any reason that others decided they deserved it. The CEO's or large companies make so much because everyone they employ agrees they deserve that cut, and are fine with the cut they get, and the customers agree they deserve their money for the service or goods they provide.

Without money, and people relying on their own motivation to better their society, much less would be accomplished.
