1. No reactors up north - Using the heat elsewhere - means building the reactor close to Housing estate or Hospital - not very popular
2. Pebble_bed_reactor - Because these have the turbines in the radioactive "Hot" zone - IE the coolant gas acts directly on the turbine, it would make servicing the turbines next to impossible without a risk of contamination
I think Nuclear is probably going to be the way forward, for now, considering it takes 1000+ wind turbines to produce the same energy, and then only if the wind blows....

PC World Techies
Don't you mean a PC world Techie will now no longer need to leave the office to wreck your machine??? :-)
Calendar Check...
I just had to make sure I hadn't entered a time loop to 1st April...
Anyone seen the Smirnoff Advert with the company called "Live On?"
Same idea
Kinda cool though...
