No, to this expansion?
No, to the building of a new or expanded nuke plant?
Who are these people?
Hey, why don't they volunteer to pedal a bike with an eco-friendly rubberband attached to a generator?

I think all estimates so far are way lowballed, even the MIT assertion of $3K per annum per family, closer to at least a 100 bucks per month per individual.

But, the concept of public policy "for health" is now well enshrined, in fact, used as a primary defining impetus for aforementioned policy:
"If it saves just one child, it’ll be worth it."
"Your right to pollute ends where my breathing begins."
etc,etc.

So, turn off some lights, chuck the plasma tv, wear a sweater and drive less, eat less too while you’re at it (especially animal protein based products.)

I pray this may put an end to the BSP II plant project for good.There main purpose was to get the lines built so power could be sent to Chicago at the expense of there poor & elderly ratepayers paying 30 to 40% more for rates for the next 40 years. Talk about GREED.
