The Capital newspaper of Annapolis, Maryland reported on October 9, 2005, that Unistar Nuclear, the new partnership between Constellation Generation and AREVA, will be headquartered in the Parole area of Annapolis. The article is available at “Parole partnership to develop new power plants”.
Interesting – Annapolis happens to be my current hometown.

It is consistently frustrating to engage in rational discussion with people who cannot see the inconsistencies in their own positions. People who express great worry about climate change and then dismiss nuclear energy as unnecessary indicate either an amazing ability for self-delusion or an inability to perform basic arithmetic.
