one megawatt wind is 1.75 million per megawatt
one megawatt Nuke is 12 Million per megawatt
got a few BILLION laying around U dont know what to do with, U too can build a Nuke for 10 billion-12 Billion......sorry, this aint the answer! ((and I was a Nuke for 20 years!)

Why would APWR be building a Wind Plant manufacturing facility in Nevada??? Answer:: California REQUIRES all new power be 30% renewable energy!!!!
Watch for 2nd BILLION USA WIND FARM to be announced BEFORE end of 2010 first quarter!!! Have U read my quarterly estimates for 670 Million for 2010??? Owning (APWR) as a very VERY long position is like taking candy from babies!
