Has anyone read about the availability of grid power at Fukushima? That was first thing that was knocked out, when the quake struck, but I haven't heard a thing about that since then.

Maybe I'm just a happy ending kind of guy but what if grid power was suddenly restored, and that allowed the operators to start up some systems that have been idle all this time and save the day? Any shred of possibility in that?

Of course, there does seem to be various instances of physical damage, too, so restarting the normal cooling systems is not necessarily the silver bullet that it might seem to be. But anyway, just wondering about the grid power.

Edit:
I just ran across this article and it seems that maybe I wasn't that far off in my earlier conjecture. They are going to restore grid power to Fukushima soon, it sounds like.
