I just filled up my F-250 Super Duty 4x4 and it cost $120!!! I don't know what to do! We are in such a crisis!
The same numbers are found everywhere, including on anwr.org, the pro-devolpment site.
Those are the facts.
Well, you need to inform yourself, both from the petroleum geologists' association, from the pro-development folks, from every government on the planet, you name it. The numbers are the numbers.
Sorry.
Even the State of Alaska does not believe there is 100 years worth of oil in the North Slope/ANWAR field. Second even if they could drill tomorrow it would take two years to construct the infrastructure required to transport it to the existing pipe line operated by Alyeska.
I am happy to use nuclear energy, but would prefer the plant to be in your backyard, not mine.
Chernobyl couldn't happen here.
This is an altogether too familiar refrain from the selfish consumers we have become - give me the benefits without any of the costs.
PS - I have two nuclear plants in my "backyard" and would not object to a third.
Then we have a deal. You get the reactor and radioactive slag, I get the electricity.
The deal is I get the electricity and you chop wood.
Yea, but me chopping and burning wood hurts the environment and causes global warming
I am having trouble believing there really are people who have so little knowledge of our economic system they can make such silly statements.We're getting screwed.
Tuesday, BP and Royal Dutch Shell, Europe's largest oil companies, delivered record profits for the first quarter of 2008. Anglo-Dutch firm Shell netted $7.78 billion in the first three months of this year, up 12% over the same period in 2007. Profits at rival BP, meanwhile, swelled by almost half to $6.59 billion. Shares in each firm climbed almost 5% on the news.

Yea, but me chopping and burning wood hurts the environment and causes global warming, which is what your nuclear plant was supposed to prevent, until it melts down, and makes global warming look like an ice age.Quote:

Demand and supply. We don't develop our own oil resources so we are forced to go to OPEC and they can charge whatever the traffic will bear.
