Dating became FAR more fun when I heard the old line "The odds are good, when you realize the goods are odd."

And then there is Fukushima - graph choice not withstanding the Japanese ending their enthusiasm with nuclear is **very** understandable, especially given that the Sendai earthquake and it's immediate aftershocks didn't practically stop for months afterwards... That other countries will take a decade or two to come around on Gen5 type reactors or perhaps Gen 6 or just get real on funding fusion is the way of things.
