  are there other cooling towers or structures that provide redundancy? otherwise it is more than a symbolic gesture. If they had some secret way to dissipate heat, it would be hard to keep that way due to satellites and US spies taking air/soil samples.

  all of this drama going on…

  oh, i totally agree with you. I read part of his blog, it must have hundreds of pages, way too disorganized, but found it very informative. I know he is doing us foreigners a huge favor by giving us the heads up, but in general his attitude causes a bad…
