Exactly WHAT happened in Fukushima?
This

Contaminated food and water, and a 20km evacuation zone with between 70,000 and 80,000 people evacuated. The point was no one builds a bad nuclear power plant on purpose, but yet there have been a good number of accidents involving bad design or poorly trained staff. Do you really think building newer better power plants is going to resolve this? They've only been trying 60 years so far.

US Geological Survey figures are that the annual CO2 output of volcanos globally is about 200 million tonnes, whilst human activity runs at around 24 billion tonnes.
On that note I think Yellowstone is around 40,000 years overdue. We might not need to worry much about global warming since they reckon an eruption from this baby will reduce global temperatures by 21 degrees!
