If we could ever find a way of storing the spent fuel, nuclear is very inexpensive. Einstein thought we wouldn't even bother with electric bills.

It is a good start. "The state will offer tax incentives to purchasers,...". At least it is good to know our tax money is going to a good cause but it would be better if we could use our tax money in this country for expansion of electric cars.
BTW, the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" is a very good movie. If you have not seen it, I would suggest it. I even learned something new that I didn't know about electric vs hydrogen.

Something EVEN MORE Positive...
Jericho 3 Definitely in Service
January 20, 2008: Israel conducted another test of its Jericho 3 ballistic missile on January 17th. This missile went into production last year, after three years, of reports that it was close to entering service.
With a range of nearly 5,000 kilometers, the Jericho 3 can drop a nuke anywhere in the Middle East. The Jericho is apparently a variant of the Shavit satellite launcher. The Jericho 3 is a 30 ton, solid fuel, two stage missile, with a half ton payload.
Israel is believed to have 50-100 of the shorter range Jericho 2. This is a 26 ton missile with a max range of about 1,500 kilometers. The Jericho 2 was the basis for the Shavit satellite launcher, which has put several satellites in orbit since 1995.
The Jericho 1, developed with French assistance, entered service in 1973. This 500 kilometers range missile was replaced by the 1,500 kilometers range Jericho 2, which entered service in 1989.

Yeah, that is "positive" proof that this world is getting closer and closer to a deadly end. Hooray! Of course, it is perfectly ok for Israel to have nukes to "defend themselves" but other nations who would like to have them are "terrorist threats". Just by Israel having them makes the who region unstable.

Looks as if Israel can take care of itself.....Another reason why I wonder if my a part of my stolen wages are ending up in Israel.

Yes, a part of it is ending up in Israel. And last I checked nobody was starving in Israel. Hmmm.
