I need the nuc engine for my car.

Every computer ever made was made with plastic and that plastic comes from oil wells - so, we still need to drill

We need to drill for lubrication
We need to drill for painting our homes
We need to drill for making roads
We need to drill for making drugs
We need to drill for making everything in the modern world

In 1995 I read a study that 52% of Americans had no idea the gas at the local chevron came from an oil well. The same study showed that 92% had no idea the plastic for their child's riding helmet or the wrap on their bread came from the same oil well.
The process of making stuff.

Interesting read. Again, another debunking of the global warming hysteria and money-generating sham.

Like of like what liberals do all of the time!

A point way too many people miss. We have a petroleum based civilization.

The author assumes liberals are rational people and are really interested in solving problems. Liberals know that nuclear power is an important key to addressing global warming, but they are not interested. Liberals want to tax Americans and other rich countries and re-distribute the money. It is so dumb, their 'solution' does nothing to reduce global warming. They want power, not solutions.

Might as well state that hurricanes are a problem and we must do something stop them!

Nahh.

Liberals aren't interested in finding safe, clean sources of energy. That would just encourage evil capitalists to keep expanding the economy until it overburdens the earth's fragile ecology.

The answer is to cut back on everything and live a simpler life. The government will of course require a great deal more power to enforce this.

FYI, the famous hockey stick graph is fake. The program runs so that any data entered, even random data or data showing a drop in temperatures, causes the hockey stick to appear.

Conservatives pooh-pooh global warming...

Not true. Conservatives pooh-pooh the belief that George W. Bush declining to sign the Kyoto protocalls has somehow accelerated the naturally occuring warming that started about 20,000 years ago, bringing us out of the last ice age 10-12,000 years ago. Conservatives recognize that a small volcanic eruption releases pollution worth many years of coal fired power plant and SUV exhaust, and that human effect though somewhat significant locally is very small in the grand scheme of things.

But, if the moonbats insist on believing it, here is a put up or shut up to use on them. Remember, more Americans have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in all the U.S. nuclear accidents to date.

I figure until the Greenies are willing to compromise on ALL forms of alternative energy as well as existing energy sources they don't really believe the dire gloom and doom they are preaching. Perhaps like terrorism the world needs to suffer a little more before it is willing to make hard choices.

Carbon overload spells doom and it won't go away until the population starts falling.

Environmentalists hate nuclear but they worry about global warming more.

The dummies' second worst nightmare is realizing that their #1 uncontrollable irrational fear is 'global warming'.
The ultimate realization that they caused it by opposing nuclear power for the last 40 years will make their heads explode.

Al Gore is speaking here in Sioux Falls, SD tonight on the new economy and global warming. It is snowing and temperatures tonight are predicted in the single digits...below normal for this time of year. The irony is delicious.
