    Where's the "Loser" smiley?

Are you kidding me?  Who in God's name would allow something like this to happen?

Unbelievable.  Have mercy on the innocents living in that area.

This is insane, but sadly, all too believable from the politicians who have completely lost touch with those they supposedly serve.

Shy, you wrote: "I suggest the casks be placed in Katcho’s backyard, as well as the chief executive officer of Pacific Gas and Electric Co." and I had to read it twice, 'cause at first I thought you were suggesting the CEO is Katcho's backyard along with the casks.

.Santa Barbara County emergency managers are concerned about an earthquake fault near the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in Avila Beach . . . .

While the fault line, which was discovered in 2008, does not in itself indicate a risk to the plant, Santa Barbara County emergency officials are cautiously concerned about “the failure to determine the threat posed by the recently discovered fault line,” according to the staff report. 

San Luis Obispo County supervisors have written to the Nuclear Regulation Commission  . . . .

" . . . .  County emergency services director Michael Harris says the recently discovered fault could generate a magnitude-6.5 quake. The plant is designed to withstand a magnitude-7.5 quake. . . . 

The Avila Beach nuclear plant is in southern San Luis Obispo County and supervisors there have also objected to re-licensing."
