The man is all talk and no action on anything that doesn't kill small
brown people and US soldiers, oh and provide a profit for Haliburton.

On the other hand I do support better use of the environment and nuclear
power, which I consider a better use of the environment.

I am not afraid of the nuclear bogyman.  I can see the advantages to non
fossil sources.  And no I don't think we should burn corn either.  As
mentioned it's a lousy source of BTUs.  However it;'s a good source of
calories for people.  If you want alcohol there are better sources of it
that corn.  Sources that people cannot eat.

I favor non-combustion electrical generation.  Be that wind, wave,
nuclear, or hydro.  You can make H2 for fuel cells or combustion
engines, use direct electrical, or any number of things.

If oil must be had thermal depolymerization looks to be a promising
future for our trash.  Better the oil plant than the land fill.  Yes the
technology has a few bumps in it yet (The smell for one thing).

We only get one planet, so we better take care of it.  However I don't
believe that we cannot have a high standard of living and a high
standard of environmental responsibility at the same time.
