Check out this leading sentence on their "learn about nuclear plants"
page (boo!) but then look at the next to last paragraph, where the NRC
says that 34 new nuke plants will have apps in by 2010! That's good
news. (Caution: this is a heavily biased, alarmist site)

They have not announced what they propose to replace coal & nuclear
energy, so how can they be credible ?. Maybe if all the nuts do not
use any electricity or coal/oil derived products, then they could be
believed as being sincere. Even then, they still have not announced
any practical power replacement method.

Unfortunately, these idiots don't have to be credible to abuse our
system.


We also have the idiots here in Oz, nuclear power is outlawed by the
Federal Govt. and all the nuts are whinging about pollution from coal
fired power plants and they also have no practical solution to the
problem.

Ah, your system, too? Condolences.


Oz is the driest continent, yet millions of cubic metres of water
are going to waste in the north but a pipeline has been rejected and a
desalination plant built, using heaps of coal & gas fired energy to
produce water, with a second plant proposed.

It's amazing how stupid civilizations can be, isn't it? sigh


Western Oz is so flat that a pipeline from the Ord river or similar
would be downhill just about all the way to Perth.

There are limits as to how much water you can safely suck out of the
rivers, but that discussion is for someone who knows WTF they're
talking about. I've merely heard of some bad news on the Colorado.
