Frankly, it seems pretty clear to me that Americans would rather keep troops in the middle east (and engage in an occasional war) rather than resume construction of nuclear power plants. To be honest, most Californians aren't too thrilled with natural gas fired plants in their cities either (San Jose vs. Calpine).

Zeus: It's pretty hard to move away from the roads that we seem to have taken for the last 60 yrs. You're right that we can only hope that the developing nations (as ourselves) use the best technology to produce the power that they desire which in turn will produce the modern things that all people yearn for. I can still remember the sound of my mother's washboard. And the squeel of the clothes line pulley. Or the noisy chunks of coal sliding down the shute into the furnace bin. And what was air conditioning? When my father brought home the first ringer style washing machine, she always laughed recalling that she pulled a chair in front of it and stared at it for a half hour. However, the real scary thing that invades my thoughts (though I won't be around to see it) is one billion Chinese trading in their bicycles for automobiles. Then should we start worrying about global warming and the ozone layer? Angler
