I didn't feel like reading through all of your comments so forgive me if someone already posted this. But the Simpsons live in Springfield Michigan. Note the intro where the familys sitting on the couch and the camera pans out into space, the solar system, aliens...etc, then to dna strands and everything is within homers head. watch it in slow motion...when you frame it out you can clearly see the outline of lake Huron (which they colored green so it wouldnt be as obvious). Go to google earth or maps and type in Springfield Michigan. its in the exact location. The lake and river which are represented in the opening credits(the curved L-shape) is also on the satellite image. There's also a Shelbyville michigan directly west of Springfield. I'm not sure if there is a nuclear power plant there...but that could be explained by the writers determining where the characters lived after season 1. Case closed
