Quote:I wonder what the tree huggers will do?Well, since you asked so sincerely and politely, I'll tell you what we did.
We continued our dorm* party with the wood nymphs, indulging in our favorite activities. For instance, did you know that if you get a juniper nymph tipsy, you can get gin in a very interesting way?
Anyway, many of us greeted the news somewhat happily. A nuclear plant is less damaging to trees than a coal plant, or even a "clean" (bah!) coal plant. Have you seen what they're doing to West Virginia?
Sure some of us still are thinking of the 1970's when they think of nuclear plants, but you have diehards in every group.
We didn't waste a lot of time on the issue during Midwinter. We spent more time discussing how to annoy arrogant christians**.

*Dormancy. The deciduous families are really out of it this time of year. The evergreen families celebrate Midwinter -- they really don't care for heavy snow.
**Yep, small "c" because no one, even him, is more supernatural than Mother Earth. (Except for Granny Multiverse, but that's another verse...)
(by the way, I wish people would stop referring to Midsummer activities as "blood orgies". It's not blood, it's Red Raspberries, which are only in season one or two weeks a year. Yes, they have special qualities. Yes, it's worth spending hours in the brambles to get them.)
