Perhaps you just need some properly built nuclear plants. :) Ontario has 3 nuclear plants that generator 40% of the province's power and these things are pretty much the safest nukes in the world. Last time I took a tour of one, they said they were building similar plants for other countries. Perhaps you Yanks want to buy some Canadian built technology, eh? http://www.opg.com/newgen/nuclear/nuclear.asp -- James S. Smith The first time I ever administered Exchange 5.5 was Feb 21st, 2001.
