    Commercial PV is now cheaper than nuclear and highly competitive with both coal and NG turbines.

    clearly you dont live in NY, WAY worse than anywhere down south when it comes to crony capitalism. hell our governor is in some hot water now for starting a task force to curb corruption in politics....then canning the task force when they started investigating him... Fla is probably worse based on what I see in the news, but ill take north carolina or tenn politics over NY any day

    except for we have not built a single new nuke power plant in how long? we have much better design than the ones that have melted down now. so you cant really make that argument

    and all of that was thought of ahead of time. there were fees tacked on the entire life of the unit specifically to pay for the decomish. its not as if they need to all of a sudden come up with that money

    Ebola, while a horrible deadly disease is not the doom and gloom its being made out to be for anyone not living in a 3rd world country., and even for those living in 3rd world countries for that matter. more people die in 1 month from the flu in africa (over 5 K from the last article i saw ) than they die from ebola last year. to put it in prospective, less than 1000 people died from it last year.

    Unless you are literally playing in a sick persons bodily fluids, the risk is almost 0
