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. They want to have their cake and eat it too!
In Northern Europe, they get almost all their power from nuclear power. Its
cheap and safe. I personally feel that this is the only viable alternative
for reasonable power supply in the next 100 years. Fossile fuels are
becoming too expensive, rare, and they polute like crazy. Nuclear reactors
are admittedly a risk, but designs get safer as the years go on. P.S. I
live within about 20 miles of a nuclear reactor, so i'm not just being
"pro-nuclear" so they can build one near someone else!
