For some good news, TEPCO has said they're close to finishing a new power line that would return power to the pumps. If successful, it would bring a steady flow of water and end the crisis. [Reply]

This would be great news for everyone except g2. His credibility hinges on a massive plume of radioactive fall out to make it to the atmosphere and spread deadly radiation all the way to the United States. [Reply]

This would seemingly solve the entire problem PROVIDED that the pumps and piping is all operational in the wake of all these problems, explosions, fires, etc.
I would've thought if it was just an issue of stringing power lines, that they would've done it by now. I mean, I assume this is one of the more resource-capable power companies in the world, backed by the entire might of Japan in a situation like this.
Even if you string lines blow past miles of darkened neighborhoods to light up the Daiichi plant, you do it as fast as possible... [Reply]
