My biggest worry right now is the partial meltdowns of the nuclear reactors ... if they go full meltdown it will set back nuclear power another 40 or 50 years.

They talked about this a lot on the news tonight. It doesn't sound very bad. Of course, I'm sure those opposed to nuclear power will only use it to strengthen their stance on the issue. According to a guy who reported on both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, the situation is slightly worse than Three Mile Island (which wasn't really bad at all and related to operator errors), but much better than the Chernobyl disaster (which was terrible due to a poorly designed system and plant). The situation should be under control in a few days.

Things are not good.

Nikkei off 14% at one point.

Shit seems to be proper fucked ... whats the economic fallout on this FC? I read already that liquefied natural gas (or propane?) is going to jump in price because they will have to make-up the electricity shortfalls from the nuke plants by using it instead and that there has already been a jump in prices of electronic components.

Also read that the Japanese frequently purchased U.S. treasury bonds and that they will most likely be spending that cash at home instead potentially causing our credit to take a hit?

The Yen appreciated like whoa from Japanese repatriating their currency.

For me the big effect is on countries avoiding nuclear power. Germany ordered the closure of all reactors built before 1980, and there is very strong demand from the public to avoid nuclear power all together, which is such a shame.

<Sighs> nuclear power is set back another 30 years ... for shame.

Pharmaceutical companies that produce Potassium Iodide will probably have good quarters if you guys play the stock market at all. Here are some bandwagons to jump onto:

Fleming Pharmaceuticals
Recipharm
Anbex

We've already been hit by a number of people calling and asking for these tablets, despite the science not supporting any fucking reason at all for anyone in America, let alone Indiana, to fear radiation exposure.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
