Let's close San Onofre now

[JDPriestly]

San Onofre is not only in an earthquake zone but just a few feet from the beach.

Here is a link to a photo on Wikipedia. Note the white sand on which the nuclear reactor is located. That is the beach. And it's really pretty flat right out to the ocean.

I do not know whether the area has experienced a tsunami, but a really bad earthquake could be deadly to many, many people. Though not in an urban center or extremely close to other buildings, this plant is fairly near military installations and other crucial defense facilities to say nothing of homes.

San Onofre really should be shut down. It will take quite a long time to get this done. We need to start now.
