130 wind turbines, gee the Fugowee race could slalom through the wind farm and award prizes in various events.
It is ironic that O'Bama heralded the start of the process for issuing permits to another nuclear energy plants a couple of weeks ago. Did you greeen guys no that?

1. Oh no! A hazard to navigation!
There was a naval officer (retired) from Europe that came and spoke to the RI concerns about the spacing and size. he was qualified b/c to speak to navigation issues since he had driven a destroyer through a similar wind farm with zero issues and more than enough room to spare. Likwid, can the Maxi sized racers even go on Horseshoe now?
2. Absolutely. Most 'green guys' I know have ZERO issue's with Nuke power. trust me, if the potential is there to build, the industry will develop a method of storing and or reusing the spent material. |

Agreed. Nuclear is far better than Coal, Oil or NG in my opinion. |

I like nuclear energy but there still really isn't a viable, cost effective way to dispose of spent fuel rods. It is my understanding there are hundreds to thousands of rods still to be disposed which have been generated over the past 40 years. Anybody have a different understanding? |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

You are not wrong, but I think that stems from the construction of no new plants. Tell that industry there will be more built, here are the guidelines, and the disposal will be figured out quickly. Options are out there. |

Karl F Saved me the trouble about Monomy I,m not going to takes sides on wind power other than to say if it wasn't for the birdy people using the Government light house as a waterfront camp site we wouldn't need the wind turbines in a desolate location. Kerosene lamp and an outhouse could save a few million.
PS Don't tell Capesam he will be crushed

my father in law has his Doctorate in Physics and he says Nuke is the only way to go. I will listen to him, but not usually his daughter |

We'll store the rods on you neighbors farm. It's all cleared out now, so transport and stackin shouldn't be a problem. |

Storing spent rods, throwing tons of noxious gases into the air, ugly to look at, drastic changes to the ecosystem - there is a negative to every method of power generation be it nuclear, coal/oil/NG, wind or hydro. |

I wonder if you can turn a spent rod into a lure? Coat it with E-tex. |
