I was sure $4.00/gall gas would get us building more nuc plants, wind plants.  Now i'm convinced I'm wrong.  Maybe $5/gall will?  Can't come soon enough in Wally's world.

Go nuclear!
Go solar!
Go wind!

(I've been hearing of major advances in thin film technology for solar panels with a sig cost decrease/watt generated.  Fact or Myth?  Anyone see the Spanish "solar" plant that puts out MEGA wattage?  Their building number two now I hear.)

SORRY....I'm good at derailing threads.  Yes, bring on the irradiated foods.  I'm all for it.
