(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.

WOW!

And from the Nuke Power Plant, the news seems to get worse.

President Obama said that safe, new nuclear power plants are a "necessity" as he announced more than $8 billion in federal loan guarantees to build the first nuclear power plant in three decades.

I hope we still pursue the atomic way. Just be thorough,be safe and no short cuts.

maybe they should install a coal fired electric plant near by every nuclear one so as not to repeat Japan's problem of having no back up power to keep everything cool.
after all we have the largest coal reserves.

I think they had backup generators at the plants but the Tsunami wiped them out. I would think in the future they would need to build the plants on higher ground.

What I really respect about the people of Japan is their sense of responsibility .

I agree. Japanese are very respectful to one another and take care of eachother. I was watching Beck today and he brought up that you dont see any looting or riots or upset people after this disaster. Everyone is orderly and helping eachother out. If it was here there would be looting, riots, and lots of complaining.
