Agreed??!

Seems like we're always at odds now, Tom. I hope it's obvious that there's never any disrespect behind it. I'm still wowed by the fact that on these boards I actually get to talk to honest-to-goodness rocket scientists (aka Poindexters) like yourself, Larry and Gary. :-)

Anyway, I agree that the nuclear industry could turn out to be our energy salvation. Like many of us, I live in the shadow of a cooling tower, and have no problem with that. There's still a lot to be said for conservation and non-nuclear alternates though, too, and I hope that we're able to stretch them as far as is practically possible. Personally, I think windmills are awesome. Lately, there's been enough wind in northern Illinois to power the nation. :-)
