Participant[quote=partypup]I will bet anyone on this forum $100 (payable via PayPal) that the relief well(s) will NOT work, and another $50 that the end game for this fiasco is nuclear. Any takers?

I will take both bets partypup. Where do we go from here?Participant[quote=afx114]If you missed The Daily Show last night, be sure to check out Jon Stewart discussing the last eight presidents who have gone on television and promised to move America towards an energy-independent future.
It’s so pathetic that it was hard to laugh.[/quote]
Agreed. Pathetic. Sorry if this is a threadjack but I really think we should resume building nuclear plants. Use that for most of our electrical generation and use fossil fuels for applications that have to have it – e.g. aviation/trucking.
In the *overall* calculation of risk/reward/danger/environmental damage, it seems to me Nuclear fares pretty well compared to other energy sources, once you get past the “oooh it’s mysterious and scary” mindset.

ParticipantThe guess I made myself before opening and reading the initial post was $105k. I’m in the San Diego area.
So no, it doesn’t sound too outrageous to me, although you might use the term “overall compensation package” as opposed to pure salary.
Who knows though, it seems like there’s a “perceived value” phenomenon – the more you have the gall to ask for, the more qualified folks assume you to be. Weird.
