Hi,
It started out as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Then a few bright people figured out how to use it for medical imaging, so we got Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and the doctors and patients stayed away in droves. So, they dropped the "Nuclear", got MRI and everybody loves it.
Maybe if we rename them "Down the Packing Curve Plants", we could get a sensible reaction to the best form of energy we have available in sufficient quantity to matter. Or maybe not. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity".
