    Yeah but we only have several million square k’s of fuck all and a whole lot of sunlight so what else can we do? Oh well, just have to give a bunch of public money to keep these old coal plants open, if only there was some other way.

          It holds up great, what are you on about? Fukushima got hit with an earthquake and a tsunami and the only disaster it caused was an unprecedented number of uninformed people screeching about the word “radiation.”
