Russia is the clear leader at the moment. They have a long, illustrious history as space pioneers, are the current world leaders in cheap, reliable launch technology, and shouldn't be facing any funding problems for a long time due to the windfalls provided by their vast remaining fossil fuel deposits.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58432189783047288832008-06-18T01:36:00.000-04:002008-06-18T01:36:00.000-04:00Sam, some of us are already lunee.Sam, some of us are already lunee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132252460964519368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-33928553236039146012008-06-18T01:30:00.000-04:002008-06-18T01:30:00.000-04:00Bob, that's a huge cost efficiency.

All these cars look the same to me these days:)<BR/><BR/>Update on our nuclear reactor--<BR/><BR/>Idaho Energy Complex successfully completes two public meetings in Elmore County to inform residents about planned 1,600 megawatt power plant<BR/><BR/><BR/>June 17, 2008<BR/>Martin Johncox, 208-658-9100<BR/><BR/>The Idaho Energy Complex successfully held two public informational meetings in the past week in Mountain Home and Glenns Ferry in Elmore County. Approximately 200 citizens attended the two meetings and residents of Elmore county asked relevant questions about national energy policy, the plant’s specifications and water consumption, in-state power purchasing and nuclear safety. By and large, we had civil, informative exchanges with citizens. We look forward to meeting with Elmore County residents again.<BR/><BR/>We regret the unfortunate behavior of one audience member Tuesday night in Glenns Ferry and we do want to apologize to the citizens of Elmore County for any disruption he caused. The facts are Peter Rickards was asked, on at least three occasions, to stop handing out material not associated with the Idaho Energy Complex prior to and during the meeting and to leave the privately owned premises, but he persisted. Moreover, Mr. Rickards physically assaulted a member of the IEC staff in order to pass out his literature. Mr. Richards told annother IEC representative that it was his intention to get arrested.<BR/><BR/>It was only after Mr. Rickards’ continued disruption that the building owner called the police, who also asked Mr. Rickards to stop leafleting. Instead of complying with the deputy’s direction to depart, Mr. Rickards expressed his desire to be arrested. It is a well-established principle that disruptive activity, including leafleting, may be prohibited at a public meeting (i.e., a church service, city council meeting, sports event or shopping mall). Mr. Rickards is aware of this and chose to disregard that principle to draw attention to himself and disrupt our meeting. With the assistance of some ill-informed and impressionable audience members, he briefly succeeded. Despite these efforts to keep us from presenting information about our power plant, we were able to continue our meeting and hold a civil dialogue with both supporters and opponents.<BR/><BR/>They Elmore County Prosecuting Attorney may be contacted for more information about the charges Mr. Rickards is facing. It is worth pointing out that opponents of our project placed information against us on the windshields of cars parked outside, creating litter. It should also be clarified CEO Don Gillispie was unaware of the situation and continued his presentation and that Mr. Gillispie did not call for Mr. Rickards’ arrest.<BR/><BR/>We want again thank the citizens of Elmore County and the Sherriff's office for offering us the opportunity to present our informational briefing on the Idaho Energy Complex planning process.<BR/><BR/>The Idaho Energy Complex (www.idahoenergycomplex.com) will be a 1,600-megawatt; $4.5-billion advanced nuclear reactor with low cooling water requirements located about 65 miles southeast of Boise, in Elmore County. <I>The plant will also include a biofuels component, using excess reactor heat to produce fuels from local ag waste and crops.</I> Company officials plan to submit a Combined Operating License Application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2009. <I>The approval process is expected to take three years and cost $80 million.</I> Construction could begin as soon as 2012 and finish with power generation beginning in late 2016.<BR/>---<BR/><BR/>They may be inflating the $80 million, on the other hand maybe not.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-13664488420480030092008-06-17T21:57:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:57:00.000-04:00Here's mine only white.<A HREF="http://www.nextcar.com.au/i.holden.commodore.VZ.executive.hrbg.JPG" REL="nofollow">Here's mine</A> only white.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82193927173553659812008-06-17T21:52:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:52:00.000-04:00Yes, they have those here, Bob.
