Tim, Here's a thread you may want to take a peek at. Subject 50614 I am in complete agreement with you about the loathesome dissembling that goes on in the environmental community regarding the safety of nuclear power. It astonishes me how otherwise thoughtful and concerned people can be so irrationally wrong on this issue. Unless, of course, the snake oil salesmen with all the natural gas in their pipelines see that it is oh so very convenient to have a hysterical reaction in this country to nuclear power because administered correctly, it takes the away the possibility of market corners like we are witnessing in California. Just a thought. Environmentalist wackos and conniving oil & gas men in bond to screw the middle class? Naw, too preposterous. Couldn't happen in a first world country with a fine educational system........ or could it? Best, Ray :) PS, If you haven't seen it, this article is well worth your while: c-n-t-a.com Endored by Ron Reece as a "great article". FWIW.... and YMMV <w>

FARM SCENE: Farmers use crops to heat homes By DAN LEWERENZ The Associated Press 2/22/01 8:08 AM CENTRE HALL, Pa. (AP) -- On a cool, still day, there's a subtle scent of popcorn surrounding Ed Leightley's farm. Something on the stove? Nope. The aroma is coming from the furnace. Leightley is one of a growing number of farmers who find they can save money by using their crops to heat their homes. "I just love it," said Leightley, a corn farmer who lives in a 100-year-old two-story home without insulation in central Pennsylvania. "It hasn't varied 2 degrees in here all winter. And there's no way I could get heating oil for the same price I'd get for my corn -- this old house doesn't heat cheap." (cont) oregonlive.com
