Heck, there are monuments in Japan telling the people not to build below a certain point. What did they do? Build there. A lot of that built is now in the pacific. And they are focusing on space? Hubris!!

But now that you mention that fucking hilarious escapade you call Fookushimer, which some deny even happened, they need to get on that crap too. The Japanese are smart, I'm sure they will find a way. But can they afford it?
