I've said before and I'll say it again. Put a nuke plant next door and
give me reasonably
priced power and I'm all for it. Beats having a chemical plant next door.

Nukes are underappreciated. The cooling water stream from our Oyster Creek
plant grows the biggest crabs you ever saw -- they're as big as roosters.
And that green glow makes them easier to catch at night. All you have to do
is get past the extra claw or two and the third eye sticking out the top of
their head. d8-)

You're kidding, right? There have been no radioactive releases from
there, have there?

I lived next door to (15 crow-miles) and swam downstream of the San
Onofre nuke plant for 34 years and never knew it was there other than
the occasional test of the warning horns. Those were highly publicized
prior to testing so nobody got hurt or panicked.
