#3 OOOOOOO, just wait until the City Fathers find out how much Germany is charging for their "Nuclear Tax" to offset the effects of their nationwide shutdown of all Nucplants?

#9 Hey, the cold war is over, right? Why don't we park an old Ohio class boomer in ever major port and rewire them to supply the grid?
