Re: Mechanisms are Needed to Explain Cohen's Data

[Gary Isenhower <garyi@BCM.TMC.EDU>]

I agree.  The debate seems to mirror others like the Yucca project,

where diametrically opposed views generate gigawatts of debate.  I

winced when I read that 6.8 BILLION dollar figure quoted just to study

the project.  IMHO, that money was mostly spent because of the

self-serving posturing of a few politicians.
