Reply #2: Nuclear technology [View All]

The Nimitz-class carrier will be powered by a nuclear reactor, right? And that's why the protestors are against it, right?

But the whole of Japan is like an unsinkable U.S. aircraft carrier with our bases at Yokota, Iwakuni, Hachinoe, Misawa, etc. And Japan is powered in part by a bunch of nuclear reactors, some of which (Monju, Tokaimura) have had safety problems in recent years.

I say de-nukafy the whole country. Not cold turkey of course, but it can be done. Japan could become the leader in 21st century green technology. Hey, it's not like the U.S. is jumping at the opportunity.
