Recession throws a spanner into nuclear dreams

Now that the 'R' word is upon us, and the US flirting with the 'Big D', the immediate question is all about whether we need all these silly nuclear plants. Well, the answer is that we need some, since the old nuclear plants are being driven into a hole faster than you can say "Sloppy". But do we allow the Bruce Mob to bilk the old-lady teachers?

This is the best time to build a new Darlington. The money wasted by jamming a nuclear plant into that tiny plot of land will prop up the economy. This is what governments are for -- pouring out money during recessions. And everything will be so much cheaper!
