Norm knows quite well that if he ever succeeds in shutting down the Salem 

Nukes (yeah, right), the likely replacement power will be natural gas (with 

its associated radon and other emissions), or environmentally-friendly clean 

coal :-).  You can't replace reliable, base-load power with alternatives 

without massive storage systems and therefore high costs.



If  they built a "clean" coal burner near him, he'd better hope it's not 

like this one, or he might have to move.  I suppose he could always use the 

blisters on his lips and tongue as a publicity tool claiming they were 

caused by long-term exposure to Salem...

It's a small price to pay to avoid 0.009 millirem per year from dirty nukes.



Regards,

Jim
