    ...I always get excited (no corellation with the above *erect* comments) when people actually DO stuff with solar power. I can't wait to see this structure if they go ahead with it.

    Yes, the pollution from nuclear plants is highly toxic, but you can stick it in a barrel and bury it in the deepest darkest hole you can find and be done with it.

    Unfortunatly that deepest darkest hole can sometimes be the local schools' playground.
