Nuclear reactors don't explode, they leak or melt down. And that's from the Daily Fail, so take it with a grain of salt.

This quake was 8.9, the 5th largest since 1900.

Yes you could. Actually that's a good idea to get our trade deficit down.

If you take the 2 million dead fish into account this could happen within weeks.

Japan looked like this for the past 2 weeks... This is just my opinion... But those dead fish that died to "lack of oxygen" looks like Oregon/California may be next.

Good Lord, give it a rest.

You know, I would have thought that too, but oil prices have dropped more than $3.00 a barrel so far. Now I know that doesn't exactly mean gas prices won't go up, but....

Worst case, there is a lot of high ground on Maui. On the other hand, Crecent City, CA could be up poo creek. We will have to wait and see.

Japan is a large consumer of crude. Something like top five in the world. I would imagine that this earthquake would result in a large drop in their demand. Hence, lower prices for crude.
