I found this article today and was wondering if this photo of Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant is doctored or photoshopped. http://www.tol.cz/look/TOL/article.tpl?IdLanguage=1&IdPublication=4&NrIssue=260&NrSection=4&NrArticle=19455<BR/><BR/>I don't know about you, but sure looks like an awful lot of black smoke above a nuclear plant.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984796918674421468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-42278311329575512272008-03-18T10:34:00.000-04:002008-03-18T10:34:00.000-04:00Dr. Burchill also stated that the Comanche Peak un...Dr. Burchill also stated that the Comanche Peak units were the last two nuclear units to come online.

The reality there is that about 2/3 of the "renewable" electricity in the US today comes from burning wood and wood waste to produce paper and from municipal solid waste to electricity plants. <BR/><BR/>Can someone please help Dr. Burchill provide better information to his important audiences?Rod Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652375336090790205noreply@blogger.com
