I think U.S. Citizens are about to be treated to a painful dose of the
reality that is associated with the Law of Unintended Consequences.  A lot
of well-intentioned, but misguided activists have successfully blocked
construction of adequate generating capacity (of ANY kind, nuclear or
otherwise).  The U.S. has, until rectently, had sufficient excess to
accomodate these short-sighted luxuries.  We are just now coming
face-to-face with the consequences.  It'll get much worse before it gets
better.  Hang on for the coming roller-coaster ride.

I commend the following eye-opening books to interested readers:  "The Logic
of Failure", by Deitrich Dorner and "Undue Influence" by Ron Arnold.

Considering the age of many of our power plants, how far behind is the rest 
of the country?
