	Translation: nuclear power is probably not commercially viable.  Once 
government robs you to pay for it, the enterprise is no longer 
commercial, but coercive and fascist in nature.  I think we have had 
plenty of that little science experiment.  Time to heed the definition 
of insanity and try something else... like maybe real free markets with 
absolutely zero government subsidization of anything.  Worth a shot in 
any event.

	Now, if someone could get that cold fusion thing working, I'd say 
nuclear will have then become a sane possibility.

	I have to laugh... news now reporting that Disney had to close in Tokyo 
because of the quake.  Half of Japan has fallen into the sea and this is 
what they focus on?  Truly this must be the end of days.
