- Just how long does Greenpeace expect it to take to make up the shortfall in
- generating capacity via "energy efficiency measures" and "gas power plants"
- (please note: "steam power plants" in this context is pure bullshit. Nuclear
- power plants ARE steam plants. You'd think Greenhype could at least get
- something that simple right). What are the Slovaks supposed to do for
- electricity in the meantime?
