Will the land be paid for or will eminant domain be the buzz word? Will large corporations like GE and Westinghouse be the operator? (they have the most experience in nuclear energy).

Well, these are all important considerations that should be resolved in planning, and they usually are.
Location? Where it's cheap and as unintrusive as possible.
Waste? Somewhere ultra-secure and leakproof. (hey, at least it's not going in our lungs and eyes)
Companies? Whoever fulfils the contract most satisfactorily?

That these issues must be thought through is no reason not to go nuclear

I have no problem with the use of nuclear energy. But once we start down that road I'm certain that there will be folks who will bitch about it. Remember, 'no good deed goes unpunished'.

(He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) Lets not forget also the private jet he used to fly around the country promoting his lucrative scare movie as well as numerous limos, hotels and other expensive habits of the ultra rich.

Not all elected officials (which Gore is not btw) are lecturing the working class to cut back on their consumption while blatently ignoring it for themselves.

I'll tell him to live in a shack and drive a donkey next time I see him.

If a doctor was smoking a butt while lecturing me about the evils of cigarettes, then yes, I might have a problem with that as well.

Defend him all you want but the only thing Al Gore is working towards is making money. If it weren't promoting global warming hysteria it would be some other lucrative liberal cause.

Who is kidding who? A private jet is not the same thing a bus ticket or a coach seat on Budget Airline. Let me refer you back to the article.

No you are not sure, you just want to believe it.

Ok maybe not blatantly, but ignoring none the less...

August, I really think you suffer from Gore hysteria.
I can't read anymore more of this particular thread because I'm either going to gag or fall out of my chair laughing.

Edit: Forgot to add smiley.
