How are they going to replace the power output? What will they do with the waste on site when the plant has to shut down? I guess this is what you get when you appoint a self proclaimed anti-nuke jerk off to head the agency. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

Uwe Posts: 6456 Incept: 2009-01-03 19446	I'm thinking it's time to go long NatGas. A Natgas plant is about the only thing you can easily get licensed these days. They're also pretty quick to build, and we have more of it that we know what to do with (at the moment)... -Uwe- ---------- “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” - John Locke 2012-08-09 15:32:40 Permalink

Is it safe to assume they are already approved? ---------- Here are my predictions for everyone to see: S&P 500 at 320, DOW at 2200, Gold $300/oz, and Corn $2/bu.

Genesis Posts: 130798 Incept: 2007-06-26	No. There is a formal operating license that has to be issued once they're completed. ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2012-08-11 14:46:41 Permalink
