No. Not at all. Sorros is on the correct side of most issues.

Well, as has already been pointed out, developed countries are huge consumers of electricity. For a country that is as densely populated as Japan to supply enough electricity through coal would mean they would all have to wear respirators. With nuclear reactors they just have to wear radiation...

Not sure which news you're listening too. There are a few different types of radiation. Five if my memory serves correctly. The kind that comes from a nuclear power plant accidentally releasing coolant vapor into the atmosphere is much more lethal than the kind we get from being 5000' closer to...

To Moolieand anyone else that was offended. I am sorry if I offended you by restating something that was written by someone else on this forum in a post related to energy creation. I was also offended when I first read that and as such I should of made it clear that it was not my opinion and was...

Hopefully this occurrence will stir things up a little in the good ole USA. As someone else said, we are ripe for a big increase in nuclear plants. The death toll of people killed at Chernobyl directly and those in Easter Europe exposed to fallout is between 4000 and 500,000. There was a very...

The recent events in Japan have called into question the safety of nuclear energy. It seems quite a bit of radioactivity has been released because of circumstances beyond the control of man. As fastidious as the Japanese are and as safety oriented as they are about nuclear especially, they were...

That's a good way to describe it. A disturbance in the Force. I don't believe in the rapture either. I just always laugh when I see one of those "In case of rapture this car will be driverless" bumper stickers. As for you being 26. When I was 26 the USSR still existed and we had a small worry...

Just because we don't teach our kids cultural issues about some countries doesn't mean our schools are bad. Give it a few more years though. There's a lot of effort being put into getting rid of public schools. So they will be taking a serious dip, very soon. As for changes. The overall World...

How big is the bed of his truck. Most pickups are 48" between the wheel humps and 6-8' long.

Well that explains why it used to be referred to as the rich mans disease. Only the rich used to eat meat. My Doctor explained the uric acid and the crystals. He also told me the allopurinol was a serious drug and once I started it I would be on it for life. I know that Uloric is very expensive...

Bangs. :( They love them and then they hate them. Problem is the hairs too short to do anything with em at that point. I used to cut the bangs for the girls. Fortunately they weren't very good at telling straight bangs from hacked bangs. Know what you mean about down time. I hurt my back the...

That is a great job. Nice to have friends with talent like that.

That's true. If you inherit a mess then you need to do your best to just clean it up. Who was the President that made that saying about the buck stops here famous. During the Iraq war I was very surprised that the buck stopped at such a low spot for those soldiers at that prison. If I remember...

Another day and just more of the same. People blaming whatever ills the country is suffering from on the current person in charge. It's always amusing to watch. Don't worry. Only 6 more years.:)

The point is that yes solar and wind are still very expensive. Why, because they haven't had enough research done on them. Everything that has bettered our lives has been subsidized in one form or another by the Fed. The initial research and development is too expensive for corporations to want...

They just use electric fan motors now for cooling. Of course the diesels in tractors have a lot more torque which is what you need for any kind of heavy load. Good idea though if you have a vehicle that is just sitting around or wrecked or something.

It was all bound to happen sooner or later. People will only live under dictatorships for so long before they rebel. I think the food prices are what has driven those people to do something about it. Obama is just keeping his nose out of it. After all our nation is supposed to be evangelical...

Yep he actually was trying to develop an energy plan. Put solar panels on the White House. First thing Ronny did was have them torn down and tell everyone to use as much oil as they could. Too bad Carter screwed up the Iran hostage situation so badly and that he was challenged in the Primaries...

Not even May yet. Usually they wait till summer to start the reaming. I think a lot of people won't be taking vacation this year. It sucks that the economy has to take a hit for people to conserve gas. I bet it gets in the 6.00 range this time around.

When my DW's horse kicked me ( I shouldn't have been talking politics to her) it cause a big golf ball sized bubble on my knee cap. Doctor felt it was fluid and said he could drain it when he did the surgery. After the operation he told me it had been chock full of gout crystals. He was grossed...
