FutureGen MOB's .....

My testing of the local waters-of-opinion, regarding the decision to pass on West Texas for a FutureGen site, has included a trip down the virtual roads of the blogosphere ..... there really hasn't been much out there ..... and not all of that has been worth the time spent on perusal.

The first to get the ball rolling was Eric, with
this post at the Fire Ant Gazette.

Ospurt followed, an hour later, with
this post at Jessica's Well. Unfortunately, the thread Ospurt started quickly unraveled in a particularly 'Wellian' manner, despite attempts to get back on-thread ..... and, frankly, I found very little steak underneath all that sizzle ..... a shame, really.

Back to Eric at Fire Ant Gazette ..... he got me, and a number of others to comment on
this post about scientific achievement and government-funded initiatives, how we might yet benefit from the initial decision - and perhaps get a FutureGen of our own. He followed-up, today, with this post, offering a more humorous take on some 'Illinois Paranoia' (Illinoia?) being posted by Illini bloggers.
