Yup! And drop them on China, India and Africa. That’ll reduce the population by about 3 billion and save that much more oil for the rest of us!

[JCEccles]

The oil locked up in the oil shale and tar sands in eastern Utah, western Colorado, and northern Alberta dwarfs in size the crude oil reserves of Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. When the cost of a gallon of gasoline reaches about $5 a gallon, it will be economically feasible to exploit these reserves. That’s with current technology. As the technology improves, the economic break-even point will drop.

Randy Newman said it best:

Political Science

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Pair-ee
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town

Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
