(75,480 posts)Two of those faults including the big one the San Andreas are parallel to the El Diablo Nuclear plant and one the Hosgri fault runs directly under it. Now Rachel Maddow has been reporting on the multitude of earthquakes happening in Oklahoma, a place not known previously for earthquakes, that appear to be directly related to fracking, so imagine what we are up against here if we have an earthquake magnitude in excess of 7.5, which is all that plant is built to withstand. Can you say Fukushima on steroids? Also, the amount of water that is needed for the operation would contaminate water we need for agriculture in a state already starved of water with this drought. I have five hours of a meeting and stacks of documents to try to put in some cognitive way, but it's important.
