Perhaps you just need some properly built nuclear plants.  :)  Ontario has
3 nuclear plants that generator 40% of the province's power and these
things are pretty much the safest nukes in the world.  Last time I took a
tour of one, they said they were building similar plants for other
countries.  Perhaps you Yanks want to buy some Canadian built technology,
eh?
