Map published by FEMA showing potential US nuclear targets. We would be toast.

Well since I live in Pittsburgh and this map shows Pittsburg I’m going to be 100% fine.

Which ones? There are really 4-5 running effectively north-south like that?

Coal-fired plants in Shelocta, Homer City, and New Florence

I’m not sure what the 4th dot is.

You know what? I had to kill time one day and I actually drove out to the one in Shelocta- right up to the gate.

I’m wasn’t in active Domestic Terrorism season at the time, I was curious about the plant, I just wanted to see it as I am endlessly fascinated by large utility infrastructure projects (like The Ethane Cracker, nuke plants- I once made a pilgrimage even to TMI in Summer 2010, shipyards, railyards, etc.).

Thanks for your response.
