No Bull About "Globull Warming"
Developing nations will exploit atomic power, because there is really no other choice.Coal can, assuming we use the coal itself for synfuel and the thorium in it as a fertile material, provide another 100-200 years or economic sustenance in the United States at compounded annual growth rates of approximately 2-3%. It is likely we can get 50 or so years out of the same process in developing nations but their growth rates are closer to 10%, and as such it is not assured by any means they will succeed. At the same time we must exploit that which we have in other fossil fuels and energy sources. If we refuse to burn the carbon-bearing materials, other nations will. The only way we can prevent this is by using nuclear energy in the form of weapons to kill them, which I believe we all consider unacceptable.

"......which I believe we all consider unacceptable."
Speak for yourself, bub. I like to keep all of my options open.

The liberals are already using predatory taxation, confiscatory runaway courts and violent union thugs to break us right-wing "energy pigs" - and we are their fellow Americans. Does anyone doubt that they'll use stronger methods to keep the idyllic native populations in quaint foreign lands powerless and poor?
