Ohio faces a decision soon about its two nuclear reactors, Davis-Besse and Perry, and on Wednesday, neighbors of one of those plants issued a cry for help. The reactors’ problem is that the price of electricity they sell on the high-voltage grid is depressed, mostly because of a surplus of natural gas.

5. Should we consider continuing the use of life-flight helicopters if it involves any health risk.
6. What is the major difference between questions 1 through 5 above and the question Miss Nevada was asked?
