www.uic.com.au

It's very current (August 2006)
US$1,200 per kW appears common. When scaled to the 1,100 MW we get around $2 Billion NZ dollars or $400 per person in NZ.

But the output cost is US $3.5 cents, or between 5 and 6 cents, quite comparable to present energy costs. And the life is about 60 years.

But as above, we need dual redundancy, the scale of a single plant makes it's dispatch in our market a very lumpy arrangement.

And it's not worth putting beside your pylon, as we cannot get the energy where it's needed without a similar cost in transmission. Somewhere close to Auckland would be preferred.

I think we should get onto it immediatly.

I think we should get onto it immediatly.I'm sure we could get one quite cheaply. Perhaps we could have one from Chernobyl free if we promised to collect it ourselves.

I can't help but think,you are the man to collect it.
Don't be long.

450783 2006-09-22 04:38:00 It wouid have wonderful side effects as well such as jobs for the people up there . Afterall if Homer Simpson can work in one it doesn't require much edcation . You would also get hot water always on tap .

I saw one in Germany in a secluded valley sorounded by trees and nature, quietly steaming away . It looked quite nice .

If we don't want to dam our rivers, share our countryside with windmills, pollute the atomosphere with coal fumes, then its the best alternative .

And if anything bad happens, its far enough way from the people who really matter not to affect us :)

It is nearly certain that with every breath, I inhale some air exhaled by Julius Caesar with his last gasp.

paulburney.com

i.e., when we take a single breath, we would have intake a single molecule which comes from Caesar's last exhalation:

I leave you to work out how this is relevant and the connection to Chernobyl, and how a nuclear reactor anywhere on Earth going faulty and having a melt down is a possible danger to you.

I like the Caesar/Cicero connection, haha.

Ironic?
