settled for you, I'm fine with that. Let's agree to 
disagree.

We will talk when I can order alternative fuelcycle breeders
from Areva which can compete with renewable energy sources
available at the time at sufficient substitution rate to matter.

When will we talk, you think? I have a hunch, not very soon.
