There is no way you can control a Richter 9 scale earthquake.

Have any of you looked into the *massive* vortex of floating garbage in the pacific ocean? Thanks to Fuk-U-Shima, new ingredients have been added to it since 2011.
Honestly, I welcome my new atomic powers. Surely the nipple growing on my elbow isn't as useful as I'd like, but it's fun to play with.
Sounds like a good idea, until one of the rockets goes wrong and explodes and spreads the waste all over the place.

Why they haven't developed a program to launch nuclear waste into the sun is beyond me...are costs more important than the future of our planet?
400 tonnes of water would be almost impossible to store, just launch it into the sun and let it burn off.

What about those who are trying to make a difference in their own homes and environment? What about those who are very aware and are trying to preserve the planet and truly appreciate its beauty and what it has to offer?
Do you feel or think they should be exterminated too? Pay for the ignorance of the masses? I don't think so. The problem is just that people are not educated, because governments don't want them to be.
They like obedient workers and consumers. This is just one of the results. Question nothing, accept everything at face value. It's going to take more than a protest or two to really change things.

Hmmm.....Why would any sane individual put a nuclear plant in an area frequented by quakes and with a higher than average tsunami danger? I guess the Japanese aren't as smart as they think they are. I think that half the nuclear plants in the USA are not in safe areas. Stupidity is a worldwide event.

They should be asking not just experts in the feild of Atomic Energy, but also in Engineering, and design. This situation needs the help of the entire planet. We all call earth Home, so this should be one of the top priorities for mankind.
The least the could do is drill some wells, and use some kind of robotic drilling rig, pump the radioactive water out of the ground. We are good at drilling, so this should be no problem. Get the ground water back down and buy sometime, for a proper containment vessel to come in and dispose of. Or at least try something, not just nothing, hoping it will go away
