Gentleman, please. This is the science echo. If you wish to discus the
various ways of generating solar energy, that is fine. If you wish to
discuss solar vs nuclear that is fine. But please use scientific arguments
only when settling disagreement.

If you wish to discuss politics, please take it elsewhere.
If you wish to discuss fidonet debating techniques, please take it elsewhere,

Thank you for your cooperation.
