In fact there is a cable channel, The Sci-Fi Channel, which is all sf, but I
think Shawn's talking about sf shows generally.

-> Nuclear power is the most cost-effective and nearly the safest.
RL> Yeh, about as safe as "safe sex!" No, nuclear fission will never be

You got it backwards. Fusion requires such high temperatures that it must use
magnetic containment and the like ... It is MUCH LESS safe then fusion.
Believe it or not a nuclear reactor (fission) can be designed to be inherantly
safe! I have worked in the nuclear power field for quite a few years and do
so only because I have the utmost confidence in its safety. Most people who
think otherwise are severely lacking in understanding of how it works!

Solar takes too much land for how much power you get out. On just a few acres
in two states the five nuclear power units in the company I work for make a
combined 4500 MegaWatts electric output (about 1/3 of all of New Englands
normal demands). How much land would it take to create an equivalent amount
of power? And what would you do at night when the sun don't shine? How large
of a battery would you need to hold that amount overnight (and then scale up
your solar unit to charge it after a nights depletion). And then what about
an overcast day?
Naw, I see there will always be a need for a large scale power producing
entity such as the role provided today by the worlds Nuclear Power generation
stations.

Okay, when you're not slogging through an Anthony novel, what do you
prefer to read? Personally, I'll try to read about anything. In past,
I have read Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, RAH, Mercades Lackey, A.C. Clarke
R.A. Salvatory (I think that's right), Randell Garrett, William Gibson
(wrote a paper on _Neuromancer_ for a history project =>) and even Anne Rice.
As far as classics go, I've read _2001..._, _Fahrenheit 451_, _20000 Leagues
Under the Sea_, _Slaughter House Five_, _1984_ and a few others that I
cannot remember. I'm also a fan of Poe and Lovecraft.
I never really developed a fav author as such. For me, if a story has some
