Re: Three mile island syndrome (oops on address)

Here is a nemonic to keep in mind regarding the use of nuclear electricity:
HOG

H is for homesis.  The normal operation of a nuclear power plant actually
improves the health of those nearby.

O is for Oklo.  Mother nature has already solved the "nuclear waste
problem", do nothing.  Of course we have already improved on that.  Also see
H above.

G is for Global warming.  This is included because people against nuclear
power are generally proponents of the current global warming story.
Operating a nuclear power plant reduces production of CO2.

The first two of these items helped convert me from an anti-nuke activist to
a pro-nuke radical.  Also, I observed objective evidence that proved that
anti-nukes lie.

growing of hi-yield bio-tech corn????!!!!! WHAT?!There is no connection!
see cnn.com either in food or health.)

holder and giving them to the tourist
