Well, I hope the 37% like being cold and dark.

It's the fact the rest of us will suffer if people listen to them that
bothers me...

I think that the press must carry blame for the opposition. After the
events in Japan, countries would be mad not to 'review' their reactors.
Some of the media are using this word to mean 'think again' instead of
its correct meaning of 'make sure we're OK'.

This really couldn't have come at a better time. We need, at the least,
some new reactors, and this will force the ones ordering them to make
sure the designs that they are ordering are up to it, with respect to
safety.

As long is its a balanced intelligent review, I am all for it.

'balanced and intelligent' and 'environmental lobby' don't however fit
in the same sentence.

Not sure where she got it from but my wife was peering at a blog and
muttering 'if they had educated the kids to do basic cost benefit
analysis and science, instead of climate changes studies and teaching
them how to screw in a CFL...'
