Crystal River Reactor


I drove through Crystal River on the way to Lakeland yesterday. Above the trees, I saw the two cooling towers from the nuclear plant sitting on the river. I wasn't expecting them but I should have. They are the only ones I know by name in Florida. Forget where I first heard about them. Chiles fished on that river sometimes. Nuclear cooling towers out the side window. Chiles' leadership at its best--never waiting for problems to be in the rear view mirror before they were attacked or even analyzed.

Towers, palms, pines.
