You're pinging the guy who posted the article? That's a novel idea.

“Well, it is not much of a problem. If I ever run short of electricity, I’ll just install more outlets.”

Wow, that is not only very funny, it is very sad.

Mixture's not rich enough. That's what causes unnecessary pinging.

If we could start an American Manhattan Project for energy independance we could acieve freedom in less than 10 years.

You are absolutely correct. We are the USA. We could do it. But, neither party currently wants this.

It is sort of like the talk of abolishing the current tax code in favor of a flat tax. Neither party will go for it, at least with the current members. It is a great campaign issue for both sides.

Well, same with energy independence. A really big campaign issue, a really big issue that each party can bang the other party on the head with.

We must remember, the current crop of politicians love subjects that divide the country. They believe it keeps people interested, keeps people sending money, keeps them in fat city, keeps them in power. A bipartisan approach to energy independence? Ain't gonna happen in the foreseeable future. Sad, but true.

"This is a large nuclear power of German design"

Wasn't too long ago that the Greens decided to shut down all all of Germany's nuclear power plants. Never have heard what magic they will use to make up for the missing nukes.

--not surprising , in a country where probably seventy percent of people can't tell you how the light gets to the bulb, the water to the faucet or where it goes when they flush--

"If I ever run short of electricity, I’ll just install more outlets."

Green party member, it appears.

I even avoid the 10% ethanol most of the time. Probably not a bad idea to fill up now and then in the winter. Take care of any water in the fuel lines.

We use 22 million barrels of oil a day. Look at the
facts before you jump....if we had to build Nuc's to supply are energy needs, we'd need to build one a week for the next 10 years... Never going to happen.

I'll settle for one a year for the next ten years (but hope for 10 a year). Not building nukes is criminal.
