' Hmm. Read that again, slowly. "...at prices competitive.with _new

Ever wondered why you haven't seen any new nuclear plants in the last 30
years? Aside..'
Alex, what do you think the new cost of nuclear is? I bet it will be much more
than solar or wind in ju
han ours, a big percentage of which
were built in the 40s and 50s.

A couple of things about solar panels:
1. They are very very expensive.
2. The current technology seems to only convert Infrared into electricity.
Wide spectrum conversion is being done, but only on the panels that go into
space - that kind of panel is 10 times more expensive.

could a nuclear reactor!

Yep, I play devils advocate a lot some days. How many times does one 30 sq mile
area get a tornado?
Wichita Falls has had two big ones in my life time 63 yrs.
Very interesting. I say do it! Get out from under the thumb of foreign
governments. I heard on the news the other day that the dollar is in such bad
