That means that we could never have a bloke like Homer Simposn to worry about if he worked at this plant. No meltdowns means he couldn't screw things up.

I guess that this plant would also create hundreds if not thousands of much needed jobs. However, unlike wind turbines, this plant may be an eyesore.

I remember the "ladies" as they were called(correct me if I'm wrong), at the Lakeview Generating station. They may have been a landmark, but to some people they were an eyesore, and once they were demolished, the lakeshore looked the way it should. Untouched and free of smog and smoke.

I guess it's similar with the Darlington Plant. That plant is huge, and it's an eyesore to anyone who sees it from the 401 or on the Lakeshore East Go line. I've been past it a few times and don't like seeing it there.

What I like seeing is the wind turbine downtown, and recently I've seen one out in the Pickering area. Unless you know where to look, that one is hard to spot. It's in the middle of nowhere.

Just my thoughts.
