So you think that people are willing to accept rampant pollution in this day and age? No, they're not.
Did regulations play a role? Sure. But society doesn't want rivers that catch fire, either.</i?

Sigh, what is meant by "And who made it not in their economic interest? The ones who did rampantly pollute so we have to police them." The lesson is - you have to regulate, police, take em to court, etc., otherwise you may find that it's shell corp. owned by another shell corp, disappearing into a Cayman Corp. Ways upon ways...

Recently we've found ways to map the natural gas/methane gas leaks, even the ones in Asia, so the plugging begins. And no one should be leaving behind piles of sludge on farms, etc.

1. The reactor was cooled by forced convection, as opposed to natural
2. The failsafes were placed along the shoreline...where the tsunami blew them away

Those are there, but they aren't the biggest:

1. The wall was too low. They didn't take into account the larger potential tsunamis. They also didn't factor in that a large earthquake could lower the land by six feet - which is what happened.

2. They built the backup generators on the ground, instead of up high, the pumps, etc., should have been water tight. So the backup generators get knocked out and the pumps didn't work.

That's per memory. You're still long on accusations.
