But we don't need intense power sources for cooking, home and hot water heating, running stereos and lights, etc., as we now do things. If we switched to solar/gas/(photovoltaics?) for those things, we could use the other "intense power sources" for industry. And we wouldn't need nuclear power, an unnecessarily dangerous and expensive way to boil water.... -- ---------------- ....uw-beaver!teltone!tikal!mark
