Personally, I don't like to comment on Lego Moc's, especially in a
"sacred" group like this...I say sacred because I am a big townie- so
everything posted in this group, in my opinion should be very special!!!
I also wished I had more time to devote to designing MOC's - all I have time
at the moment is to draw some rudimentary designs in a scrap book.
But the above message(s) aren't why I posted a message in response.
I am just writing to say that I think the power plant looks pretty cool, and
I really loved the accompanying story....you captured a "small" moment of
real life in that one. People are never satisfied...what goes around,
comes around, and finally, they get what they asked for. They want
"safer" but still relatively clean power, then they have to put up with
high energy costs. If they want low costing power, then they have to take
a risk of a nuclear meltdown. To have power there is always going to be a
trade-off!!!
Anyways, enough of my rant, I just want to re-emphasize that the model was
great and I really liked the story!!
Thanks

| Thanks for the compliments on the model. I hope to see some of your MOCs in the future. I'm always irritated by protesters in this country that complain about every little thing.
