Ask yourself this why do we get over 4 earthquakes. since 1931 6 which was over 5 and 1 those was a 6. Roughly every 12 years we get 5 or more we dont know where it will be next. We might be unlucky hits area which could do damage people lose there lives.

You do realise depends where earthquakes epicentre you could have things like liquidfaction.

It often is where the earthquake is depends on damage just lucky most are not towns/cities or areas great damage likely. number factors such ground type, remember spanish one. Less than ours but caused lots damage sadly death. Old homes narrow streets and the sandy soil. Smaller quakes been known to be more agressive than larger ones done more damage.

Straws and grasping come to mind. I ask you this

How do we in the next 30 years produce enough power to feed this country with its anticipated power needs if we don't use Nuclear and i mean power on tap not at the call of nature ????
