San Onofre shutdown will mean tight electricity supplies

82. They're similar points (since they both correct the same error)... but they aren't 1 or 2

Nobody has said that tsunami are only caused by earthquakes in the area (2004 made that clear if you weren't paying attention prior to that). If you read the rest of the thread, you'll see that the tsunami that have been discussed are from Alaska (and the area you've just discovered).

And nobody is arguing that there is no subduction zone anywhere off the west coast (again... Alaska is the far more common source and we did discuss that). It is, however, entirely reasonable to point out that we're talking about potential threats to create a tsunami that could impact San Onofre. Your desperation to appear less-wrong than you have... doesn't change the fact that hundreds of miles of land divide San Onofre from the theoretical source quake. The distance combined with the indirect path leaves even a 9.0 as little threat to the plant

You're grasping at straws. What both of us said remains correct. You misunderstood where tsunami came from and assumed that since California has thousands of miles of faults it must therefore have terrible tsunami risks.

The fact that Japan gets them all the time and they can kill tens of thousands of people... while California hardly ever gets them and rarely kill anyone at all... should have been a clue that you needed to borrow one (a clue).

There's no lying going on except perhaps on your end (or did you somewhere admit your earlier error?).

when i pointed out that she was wrong

You didn't point out that she was wrong. You grasped at a straw to cover your own embarasment... and did so in a transparent way.

But let's play the childish nit-picking game. What she specifically said was the eastern end of the Pacific tectonic plate. The subduction zone is actually between the Juan De Fuca plate and the western side of the North American Plate. One area of earthquakes caused by this interaction is along the Northern edge of the Pacific plate there, but that's not a subduction zone... and the eastern side of the Pacific Plate there is actually moving away from Juan de Fuca.
