Vinick-Santos where South Carolina goes Democratic for President. That's worse fiction than the stuff I write on the internet.

Cheers,

Actually I think the pebble bed technology from the Chinese is a better solution. What is so great about the French nuclear power vs the US nuclear power?

The pebble bed has the value of not being able to melt down by accident. Remove all the water and it will get very hot, but won't melt down as the fuel is encased in ceramic balls (hence the name).

The fictional Vinick and real McCain are right on the issue, I think, but the symmetry is amusing.

Well, with one caveat. They are wrong if they think we should add nuclear power production they same way we have in the past.

We need to learn from the French. And don't listen to the whining from Bechtel, Parsons, et all.
