Indian Point has been there through the lows and highs. When it was licensed cooling towers were not required and if you have ever seen it, there is no room for them. With all the climate change talk why would anyone want to remove the lowest carbon emitter of any major energy producing source?

it would take roughly 31 years to count to a billion out loud, and that is at a pace of one number a second.

 

I knew I'd learn somehthing interesting in this post. Take into account sleeping. SOmeone can spend almost their entire lifetime counting to a billion. Imagine getting up to 462,877,256 and someone interrupts you and you forget what you were up to?

Depends, my youngsters favourite counting method (needs to be done in a song-song tone)

 

One ..... two ...... Skip a few ..... Ninety-nine ... One hundred .... :)

Any society that charges it's own children for knowledge, is doomed to fail.

Whilst intelligence is not affected by geography, it is influenced by education, opportunity and drive.
