Nuclear reactors
You can forget any nuclear reactors being built in this country in the near future. Regardless of whether you're pro or con (and I pretty well know most are pro here), there's no way in hell after this that the American public would tolerate one being built. The same way it was Drill, Baby, Drill! until the disaster in the Gulf.
It seems to me that natural disasters are selecting the 11th of the month on which to happen. Beginning with Sept. 11 (my birthday). I seem to remember another one recently on the 11th. No snarky comments. I just thought it was an interesting sychronicity.
