Moin Torben,

/*warning: politically correct mode is OFF*/
I was thinking most of the overwhelming number of chinese coal-fired e-plants, 
when making this statement. 
I buy my electricity locally from a family-owned company(I think) in Erding 
which generates a lot of water power, but almost certainly not everything it 
needs. Therefore I am resigned to watching German nuclear plants scheduled out 
of production by law, which raises my monthly costs, while suspecting that my 
local company must receive some of it's power by law from Tschechien or other 
sources using radically less safe U-power with no concrete plans for a 
near-future power down. Seems kind of in line with Al Gore's far-sightedness 
<shrug>


Like the looks of your project mentioned below. Hang in there with that.

regards,
ron
