I spent the last 22 years of my working life in the Nuclear power industry. It is the safest industry in the U.S. Now if there was a refinery within 3.5 miles you would have something to worry about.

DickW,

Completely agree.  The problem is, WHEN there is a disaster, it is a million times more destructive than other forms of energy production.  The trick is in the prevention.  I live near the boobs of Camp Pendleton.  I love the power they produce and use it daily.  I still have a secret escape route planned...

Anybody who has been out here and driven past will understand the odd name.  For those who don't, see here:

I recognized those double DD's at San Onofre right away, just north of Oceanside. I'm pretty sure that the wind chill is always chilly up there. But hey, I figure if the Beach Boys sang about this beach it can't be all bad. Last summer while driving past them, I asked my Russian girlfriend what she thought of our Amerikanski bolshoi grood. (Big American Boobs ) In typical Russian woman fashion...she wasn't too impressed by either the boobs...or the question.....   The moral: never ask a woman her opinion about big boobs other then hers.....
