Let me see if I can summarize your facts. You stated as fact that the U.S. hasn't built a single nuclear plant since the early 1970s. Given the large number of plants that were completed in the 1980s and 1990s, this fact was clearly wrong. Now you're trying to cover your *** by claiming that construction on the Watts Barr plant BEGAN in the early 1970s. That's something quite different from your first "fact" isn't it?
Is your claim that Canada's nuclear program is "going just fine" another one of your "facts"? You might want to check on what happened to Ontario Hydro's nuclear program in 1998. They still haven't dug themselves out of that hole. They've spent more fixing problems there than TVA spent building the Watts Bar units.
