Re: Norm avoids nothing!

Note: Sweden shut down one nuclear plant. ALL the power was replaced by

coal. Even the most mindless politicians will eventually "get it."  Same in

Germany. The Greens will eventually be laughed out. This would be like UCS

run out of town by the Gov. of PA after they were caught in their scam about

the "risk" of releasing Kr-85 from the TMI containment, and being given

enough rope (and months) to hang themselves.
