    Thanks for your work. I've been re-reading Knuth's _The TeXbook_ as a reminder of fine points in typography. So much can be covered in just provisioning for floating blocks, top-floating blocks, widows and orphans, a few counters,

    In addition to TerraPower, moltexenergy.com desribes another conversation-changer. Not a PWR. Walk-away safe. Molten salt in tubes. Can burn existing waste. Apparently can use Thorium. Projected costs less than coal. Uses existing materials
