Nuclear Power? No, Thanks.

We have an Energy problem here.  Quite a serious one.  Politicians looked for the easy fix - all those nuclear power stations we wanted to decommission, forget that, keep them running.

What I find disappointing is that we're looking for sticking plasters instead of really addressing the basic problem. It's an argument where I can't win - I would just be dismissed in favour of people with more money and therefore influence.  Plus as I have learned, even if I have a good idea, people ignore it.

Oh and I wanted to share a lovely bit of IBM Englisch with you.  I've read this about 10 times and it's a topic where I consider myself pretty well educated.  But this makes me think - what?

"Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling a COBOL program that contains a DEFINE directive in the false branch of a conditional compilation directive where the DEFINE directive references an undefined compilation variable."

Does that even count as Englisch?
