Which should I get for Xmas? - LotusTalk

john2496 · 12-17-2008, 08:08 PM

I can't decide between getting a Westinghouse AP-1000 or a General Electric ABWR. I love the westinghouse, its super reliable and a bargain but don't have as much confidence in the company. The ABWR is a bit more expensive but its time tested. I don't want to be constantly worrying about leaks.

In case you're wondering I have a really big tree.

I wouldnt worry about leaks too much, its only nuclear power. They are both solid reactors, go with whichever one comes in the color you like.

Great idea.

I think I will get one too, just to piss off my neighbor.

chapster5 · 12-18-2008, 05:49 AM

I work in the industry - get a Westinghouse or better yet a Siemens!

SweetDaddyD · 12-18-2008, 04:24 PM

Hitachi is the only way to go.

i found a great deal on a slightly used nuclear plant, its _really_ cheap (they're practically giving the thing away), but its in cuba :/. anywys, i'm sure radioshack sells diy-nuclear-packages if i can't find one online.

better yet, put the windmill on top of the cow. then the windmill will generate power from the velocity of the wind and the moving cow.

i think i solved the world's energy problems.

w00t.

Desperado · 12-22-2008, 05:33 AM
