    Yup, but most people don't understand that a nuke plant is just processing steam in a more effecient way. Once again the vocal, uneducated minority has ruined a good thing. Iowa has the countries largest coal fired plant under construction as we speak. Nebraska also has a giant coal fired plant under construction. They would much rather have done nukes. The govt. has also placed so many operating restrictions on them that they only operate because it costs more to shut them down.

    The nukes pay the securtiy guards 45K per year.

    Most 'mexicans' here didn't really immigrate - they just walked across the border illegally. To reward them for breaking the law by giving them jobs we Americans don't like doing ourselves is wrong. Coal is used for other things in this country besides electric power. Its also used in steel production.
