Power Up

This photo from the Detroit Free Press is just fascinating.

Could anyone have ever imagined that standing in front of two steaming nuclear power plant silos would provide a politically advantageous photo op?

Clearly, in today's political climate of rising energy prices and dependence on foreign sources of power, it does (or at least political polling says it does).

But still, would you have ever thought?
