   DW>I don't remember.  It's been a while since I really researched that.  But I

     >Yes.  Less dangerous?  Probably.   
      
   Yes, I know it was hard to get countries to build the new plants since   
   they cost so much more. I can't even find info on those online at the   
   moment. I may have originally heard about one experimental plant and   
   it may ahve ended up so costly that it never got off the ground.   
      
   RM> But you still end up with waste that is dangerous for several hundred   
   RM> years rather than 25,000 years, but both numbers are a long term   
   RM> problem.   
      
   DW>Well, 1999 has passed.  So I guess we can start storing all that stuff on   
   the   
     >moon.  :)  (If you don't get the reference, look up "Space: 1999".)   
      
   Ha.. Yes I remember watching that show, although I doubt I'd have come   
   up with the name right away..   
      
   DW>As Thomas Sowell likes to say: "There are no solutions.  Only trade-offs."   
      
   Yes, sounds about right.. Sounds like marriage too..   B)   
      
   DW>Well, ya.  There are certain types of energy production that work great -   
   but   
     >only in certain locations.   
      
   Yes, and some areas have constant winds blowing with rarely a storm   
   where it's practical to build wind farms or solar panel areas in the   
   desert where these things might actually be useful..
