What, they're actually considering option F? 'Entirely safe'? That's like putting a 'Caution: Hot' sign on a volcano. A, C, and E are no-brainers, but I'd also go with B to get the full picture.

Ooh, I smell a lawsuit brewing if they go with F. Might as well just hand over the company to the lawyers. A, C, and E are the way to go - and maybe we can send the CEO to the collapse site, just to be sure.

Definitely A, C, and E. But I'd also throw in B - we need to understand what happened on the ground. Option F is just asking for trouble, and D is the easy way out.

The right course of action here is A, C, and E. We need to thoroughly inspect the power stations and have a contingency plan in case any need to be shut down. Increasing insurance coverage is also prudent.
