Okay, this is what I get for taking a week off. Let's take it from the top:
Train : Russia still has many nuclear plants that running quite safely today.
Mazzak : You said it! I honestly think we're at the point where we cannot expect to get a lot of energy w/o having to have some kind of risk involved - somehow, radiation poisoning seems less painful than black-lung disease...
Thallid : You have a point about other power sources in the Universe. I hear a Blue Super Giant star pumps out a lot of energy - could you park one next to my house so I can start siphoning off the energy?
Seriously. Nuclear is the best we have at the moment. Everything has risks. Driving to work on US 19 every morning through St. Pete has risks...
Sven : There are other kinds of Texans? Goodness, I hope not. While the rest of this country keep waffling about their opinions to either the loudest voices (or the largest wallets) at least we know the Texans can maintain some integrity - although, we still need to seriously talk about Ann Richards...
