I heard on the news last nite that Luz has bid to take over
Rancho Seco near Sacramento, and convert the plant into
a Solar generating plant.  Luz claims that they can produce
half the power that the plant would have produced as a Nuke
site. I would be interested in any information that folks
have out there about this project, as what I heard was a
brief blurb on a local TV station which lasted only a minute.

In light of Earth Day, I think this is one of the most exciting
pieces of news I have heard in years.  Talk about the ultimate
recycling plan, turning polluting Nuke plants into non-polluting 
Solar Farms.
