On Friday an 8.9 scale earthquake shook japan to its chore, following that a tsunami hit causing multiple deaths and devastating damage to home and farm areas. That earthquake has gone down in history as one of the fifth largest the world has ever had. Geologists say that the island of Japan shifted 8ft and that the earths axis was moved 2.5 ft, now that is scary. The prime minister of Japan says that they have not experienced this much devastation since WW2. The biggest question on everyone's mind is will Japan survive this endeavor and will more disaster strike as there government is put to the test. My prayers go out to all the children and families that are going through this difficult time, I hope yours will too.
With all this said, with all these natural disasters that cause man-made disasters, should we stop drilling oil and stop nuclear activity. the reason i say this is because in Japan once the tsunami hit the nuclear power plant there was damaged and there was a possibility of a meltdown. A lot more people had to evacuate there homes. and my mom and i were talking about the Exxon Valdez oil spill that happened in Alaska. that oil spill destroyed a lot of homes for a lot of animals and thousands of sea animals and sea birds died. and also the most resent oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico that effected wildlife in Florida. that spill also affected the lively hood of hundreds of fisherman who depended of the well being of the ocean. and after all this we still continue to drill for oil. now i know that we depend on oil for almost everything but we also have technology we could stop if we wanted to. there are several alternative forms of fuel and there are more to come. so i am asking u what do u think should we stop drilling?
