"...wind turbines are nothing but prayer wheels for suburbanite Buddhists."Probably not the answer, just like Tam says, but I do think they're neat to look at...
That being said, the overall idea of cutting back nuke power because of one record setting series of events is plain stupid. I heard Germany is shutting down a bunch of theirs until they can go over their safety procedures. Somehow I doubt they'll have the problem of a Top 10 earthquake (5 times stronger than the plants were designed to withstand...) followed by a massive tsunami knocking out the backup generators to deal with. Overall Japan just happened to get bit by Murphy hardcore, and it's no excuse to hobble your own infrastructure half a world away.
