Whatever it takes, Jaro. From where I sit, it
appears that the nuclear industry is committing suicide. Well, maybe
not committing suicide, because that would mean actually doing
something, but it certainly has lost the will to live. The
industry as a whole is just not proactive. I mean, when the likes of
energy implode and greenpiece and david kawasaki, and all the other yahoos
who can only be against something get all the air time, it shows that they have
a far more interesting message than our industry has. Why
doesn't whoever is in charge do something? Anything. You know, if
the fossil fuel industry tries to get as clean as nuclear is, then,
comparatively speaking, nuclear would be too cheap to meter. Now, where
have I heard that before? Why don't we hear it again? Would
anybody actually be brave enough to say it? Well, c'mon, squeak
up...
rant, rant, rant..
Cheers,
Andy

buried along with the carbon dioxide.

Andy,
You forgot the artists &
animators !
At the CoP-11 conference last December,
the US booth featured a large plasma screen showing computer animations of the
FutureGen clean coal plant Artist Concepts.
