You really got it. The only thing that counts is money. The only goal that

the anti-nuclear groups have with their actions is to make nuclear power too

expensive to be continued - whether it is the "protests" concerning the

transport of spent fuel or waste return from reprocessing plants in Germany

or other countries, the legal actions against Yucca Mountains, I do not

believe that there is a kind of "coordinating force" behind these actions.

Everybody knows, that if a business is associated with financial losses, it

will be laid down - even the most local anti-what-so-ever-organisation.



That one can make a living of being "anti-what-so-ever" is demonstrated

every day a few times on RADSAFE by Norman Cohen.



Best wishes,
