Nuclear energy in the USA is a huge rat**** in my book. It coulda worked. It coulda ruled. But it was strangled by ... politics. The politics of technology. And those politics will continue to obstruct until suddenly carbon-based fuel is considered about as cool as a jaguar coat. Full length. I WANT nukes. But I want'm done right, and cheap. With a real system in place for dealing with the leftovers.

>>Sometimes I wish we could talk to the guys who sold it to us and who ridiculed questions of it's longevity and cost feasibility.<< Dixie Lee X-Ray and our ex-Sec'y of the Inferior Donald Hodel, who now makes a living being a Good Christian. Along with a bunch of nuclear-minded corpseorations, among whom were circle-W and General Dysfunction. The Bonneville Power Admin were in charge of the sales effort. It is perhaps the greatest swindle in US history, and the good folk of the northwest were the victims. I worked for a short time for Hodel's slimebag henchman, who shall remain nameless because he has gone west. If he ever again crosses the Mizsippi I will name him.

<<Well, they took the thousand tons of reactor core out of the Trojan Nuclear plant this week and are barging it up the Columbia. >> Com Ed shut down their nuke instead of recoring it. Cost more than building it. IP was going to build Clinton for $100 million and it cost $4 billion and they sold it for $20 million. I fish the cooling lake and if the dome ever goes from blue to red I'm gone. Amazing, Wisconsin has had good luck with their two nukes on Lake Michigan.
