This sounds like music to the heavy construction business. With the advancements in fuel usage, plant tech, desposal meathodology and operational and modular construction meathods there is going to be a crying need for both tradesmen and engineering types. Truth be told and from a Nuc. guy I know from Georgia Tech, with both a Clemson and an Auburn engineer agreeing " There is more radioactivity given off from one coal fired generating unit at full fire than from an entire nuclear plant running at full power." After having a hand in building a Nuc (Southern Company's Plant Voglte, Burke County GA) it is a great job to build and lots of rail traffic during construction and a bunch during the life of the plant (As long as 50 to 75 years!!!). In short, great news for energy independance, low cost electricty, improved savings for business users (inc profit margins), and savings to consumers. Great News for every one except Arab oil sheiks and head in the sand ________ types. ( I'm a gentleman and I just can't bring myself say that word.)
