1. We do all realize that this is unleashing the previously contained "Florida Man" into other states

Don't we?

3. I was wrong.

My worries were where to get the water and what to do with the waste.

4. Which rocket scientist planned that location?

Or should I say nuclear scientist? With global warming I certainly hope city planners will keep the changing weather in mind when they boulder anywhere in the future.

Originally NY City had all of its electrical and telephone wires above ground. The heavy weight on the lines during snow storms was a problem so they put them underground. Now that is no longer a good option since during Sandy they found out how flat the city is and floods easily. The Fed Govt will not do any infrastructure planning with weather in mind as long as the GOP is in charge so it will fall on the states to be responsible and we all know how well that goes (TX).

5. Sure showed us DFH's all right!

Although I suppose we're going to be first up to help get Florida off the hook.

[MissB]

11. No but it is funny.

13. wish I did not know that...

One never hears of how they are handling the waste, but plopping it into a pristine ecological system does not surprise me.
Cal. builds them on earthquake fault lines.

15. For God's sake, they had better NOT be loaded and running on MOX fuel.
