I don't know that messing up Alaska for a resource that's going to run out anyway is such a great idea, but I'm all for the development of nuclear power. If it had been developed and utilized properly in the past, things like the blackout of '03 wouldn't have happened.

(on something of a side-note... on Maximun Exposure yesterday, they ahd a "Greatest Hits" segment in which a surplus jet (an F-4 I think) was accelerated to 480 mph on a track and smashed into a concrete barrier as part of a test of nuclear power plant protection methods. There was nothing bigger than a dime left of the jet, but the wall was still standing.)
