True, but unless we re-gear industry to other fuels, and produce electricity other ways, we're screwed.

Yes indeedy. Your guys are doing a lot to help speed up that process. Canada is way ahead of the US in that respect. As are several European countries.

Don't expect the US to do anything until it becomes clear to enough corporate executives here that they are going to get left behind in the new, non-fossil fuel economy if they don't get on board.

Steve Parkes, I don't think nuclear energy is going to be the answer. It's too expensive, and they still haven't found a way to dispose of the spent rods that doesn't involve bombing people with them.
