Quoted: Barack Obama talks on the campaign trail about fighting the nuclear power industry, but the real story is more complicated, reports The New York Times in a front-page story. In 2006, Illinois residents were up in arms after finding out that Exelon Corp. had not informed them about radioactive leaks at one of its nuclear power plants. Obama responded by introducing a bill in the U.S. Senate that would require plants to immediately tell local officials about any leaks -- and he now talks proudly of his work on that legislation. But after an initial, unsuccessful push to move the bill forward in a GOP-controlled Congress, he watered it down significantly to include changes wanted by Republicans and Exelon.- sudha | Shared With: Everyone - Jul 18 2007 | environment, nuclear, climate change, earthquake
this is why nuclear is NOT the solution to climate change.

When I need to set persistent environment variables in Windows, I tend to want to gouge my eyes out ... right click "my computer", "properties", "advanced", "environment variables", ... and have you tried editing $PATH in that tiny edit box?!
Fortunately, I just discovered a utility called "setx.exe" which can do this from a command line (ahhhhh). You can also edit HKCU\Environment directly, if you don't feel like jumping through these ridiculous validation hoops. Yes, it's rather sad that manually editing the registry is easier than using a tool designed for editing environment variables.
