I passed an oil spill and a disabled nuclear power station on the way to Easter dinner.

That sounds like the beginning of a joke. It's not. I'm not sure how to feel. I can't stop thinking about it. Fortunately, the mountains blocked my view of the power plant during dinner. Please enjoy a beautiful view of the Natural State while it lasts.

In the PNW, we have nonstop Hanford and Fukushima radiation, not so much oil spills. freshwest Mar 2013 #2

I'm hoping that the citizens of the state down there will take note of what is happening and not brush it off. And you are in a famous earthquake area, too.

I didn't even know you guys had a nuke power plant, since there are dams for power in the NW areas?

I remember a friend telling me of a beautiful valley being flooded to create one there.
