No new nuclear power generation is
planned, 'least not that I know of...

Kim W5TIT



that's because the environmental wackos are doing thier damndest
to fight them, at every level of governement and in every manner
of social disobedience...


Has nothing to do with "wackos", Clint. Nothing at all. It has

everything
to do with Board Room decisions for publicly held corporations who have
learned thier lesson losses from the construction, start-up, and

generation
of power from nuclear power plants. They are not cost effective in any

way.
They've become a pariah on the backs of the companies who have already

built
and own them.


This is why california hasn't built any new power plants in 10 years
while experiencing a DOUBLING of population.... resulting in
the blackouts they just had.

Sad to say, I think you're totally wrong. The above statement(s) are
speculative at best and sensationalistic at worst. Nuclear power is
economically unfeasible--proven by the plants already built and generating
in this country. Leave alone all the implications of environmental and
health impacts. They are just plain bad economics.

So why hasn't California built any oil, coal, or hydroelectric power platns
in the last ten years? I'll tell you. They too are being blocked by the
environmentalists. Are they also economically unfeasible? It's unlikely.
