San Onofre shutdown will mean tight electricity supplies

47. The sea wall isn't 30 feet.

Not really, taking into account that a tsunami might arrive at something other than low tide. 14 feet above high tide is 1 foot shorter than the tsunami from Alaska that wrecked a bridge in Wreck Creek, WA during the big '64 Alaskan quake.

Obviously SONGS is sheltered from a direct hit from Alaska, but there are other potential sources. Anything from the western edge of the Cocos plate, butted up against the pacific plate, could send something right at it, at a similar distance.

Tents are not a threat thousands of miles from the tent, if something goes wrong. Reactors potentially are. For a tsunami threat, a coal plant is LESS of a threat to people elsewhere.

This reactor is broken, with a secondary cooling loop failure.
This reactor is in a tsunami risk area.
This reactor is very close to a fault capable of producing ground accelerations in excess of the plant's spec (see Kobe quake)

That's a bad combination, I think. We have been lucky so far. If you have to have reactors, there are better places to put them, and still allow access to adequate cooling water/heat sink.
