You should look into a PGE EV time of use rate plan if you can charge your car between 12am and 3pm - that should drop your rate for charge down to about 34 cents per kWh (though on my last bill mine was 28 cents per kWh). https:/&#x2

Fair enough, but my point is that nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons development are two different things and one doesn't necessarily lead to the other. In other words one can be against a particular use of a technology witho
