Not bad at all. I am curious what would happen if, in Ontario, Premier Dalton McGuinty diverted the billions he is planning on wasting on nuclear (which wont even be available for over a decade) into conservation and more renewable resources. I think the only negative impact would be that several nuclear consultants and lobbyists might have to rethink their retirement plans.
