Indeed. Print $100 Trillion Yen, bought directly by the Central Bank with ex-nihilo money, to spend on ice walls everywhere
The economy will boom!
Nike power is great. Until it’s not
I agree completely. I wear Adidas.

If the shoe fits
They didn’t learn from their past and now they won’t have Godzilla to save them.
Phooey. Some day I’ll knock out the spell check
Whoever it was, that sold the Nipponese government the idea of having a nuclear power plant so close to the shore, must have been the same minds behind the Shoreham plant fiasco on Long Island, NY, and the San Onofre plant brouhaha in California.
They don't know where the fuel rods are. That is not a good thing.
The multiplier effect will crank up their economy in no time!
That said, IIRC earlier stimulus programs, have not worked so well for Japan?
Similar to Chernobyl. They use the ice wall there also. (or did anyway).
If you EVER want to read something scary, read the Wikipedia article on the Chernobyl event.
Lots of Brave people died there.
I looked on my globe to see where the "China Syndrome" would come out from Japan and it appears to be the South Atlantic Ocean pretty far off the east coast of South America. I guess that's where they need to look.
If they had extra batteries, this would have been one of the greatest success stories of nuclear energy.
Cooling water!
For the steam turbines to work, the condenser needs to cooled.
Having a nice cool ocean nearby cuts costs.
What about “The Pepsi Syndrome”....
Dr. Edna Casey: It means, Mrs. Carter, your husband, President Carter, has become ....The Amazing Colossal President.
Rosalyn Carter: Well how big is he?
Dr. Edna Casey: Well Mrs. Carter, it’s difficult to comprehend just how big he is but to give you some idea, we’ve asked comedian Rodney Dangerfield to come along today to help explain it to you. Rodney?
Rodney Dangerfield: How do you do, how are you?
Ross Denton: Rodney, can you please tell us, how big is the president?
Rodney Dangerfield: Oh, he’s a big guy, I’ll tell you that, he’s a big guy. I tell you he’s so big, I saw him sitting in the George Washington bridge dangling his feet in the water! He’s a big guy!
Rosalyn Carter: Oh my God! Jimmy! Oh God!
Rodney Dangerfield: Oh, he’s big, I’ll tell you that, boy. He’s so big that when two girls make love to him at the same time, they never meet each other! He’s a big guy, I’ll tell you!
Because over the last 25 years, they were pouring cement for their Keynesian stimulus. Now, the geniuses and central planners have discovered they should be pouring ICE WALLS instead. Soooo much better than concrete. Brilliant!
dear dumb,
I am aware of the statement made comical by Ed Asner:
“You can never put too much water in a reactor.”
I can see the public screams of the pipelines further back off the shore, but for a nation that made a separate reverent word for ‘tidal wave’, should have known better.
Extra batteries, or an above-high-water air intake for their backup generators.
That's true and they went in knowing it was a death sentence.
