RE:Another two things to watch for ?!!Neptune3,
Both your posts suggest strongly that CCO's exit from the Bruce was as much to avoid the crushing burden of refits to that utility as it was to hasten to their Athabaska backyard to protect their interests should it come down to a takeout of DML or possibly even FCU. As far as the Russians go, their style of business would not obviously be much of a fit for the Athabaska but I suppose CCO and others should get prepared for any eventuality.
Isn't it amazing how things get set in motion so that suddenly several medieval knights on chargers with lances set descend upon a single target. And ohhhhhh how the sparks fly up!!!!!
I knew it was just a matter of time before Angela Merkels decision to kill the nukes would come back to haunt her and possibly possibly even bring her down. During the European banking crisis she could ill afford the time to deal with the public outcry re the German nukes so they were sacrificed. But the people who owned those assets weren't going to take that lying down. So yes I think that gets played out exactly asdyou have predicted.
