6.6 Magnitude Earthquake Off the Coast of Japan
tekgoblin writes "Japan shook with yet another earthquake today. Its magnitude was 6.6 and its epicenter was about 60 miles off shore. Initially Japan had warned citizens of a possible tsunami, but they've since cancelled it. No damage or casualties have been reported."
Not news. I get notifications from the USGS for EQs 6.0+. They've been having 1 or 2 per month since the big one in March. This is the largest since a 7.0 on July 10.
This earth quake comes right after they announced to move to renewable energy. Not a coincidence. The so called green technology isn't so green after all. Each year more people die of shark attacks than get stabbed with a uranium rod. Think about that before you build a hydro dam. And wind energy isn't any safer. While depleted Uranium can be a fun and educational toy, hundreds of houses are destroyed by tornadoes each year. And to store all the solar energy one would have to pave the entire state of Arizona with batteries. Once they leak, everyone in New Mexico would die.
