I was wondering how you're feeling about nuclear power now that it looks like they helped contribute to the outage problem yesterday? Nuclear power contributed to the blackout? That's news to me. How? They were saying yesterday that the nuclear reactors may not have caused the grid to fail in the first place but because they are designed to trip off as soon as there is a problem, they may well have caused the break down to spread to a much larger area. Of course, its a lot of speculation.......no one seems to be able to get to the bottom of it. It does sound like someone in the system screwed up. ted
