Then why did you feel the need to belittle? because you were trying to start an argument! i left nuclear alone because it is an alternative to petrol. i was looking for other things. my question, i thought, implied that having nuclear cars wasn't a solution for that portion of the energy crisis.

care to elaborate on anti-matter as an alternative? care to elaborateon any of your proposed alternatives. for fuel, we need to work on more thermodynamically feasible fuels for transportation. this also leads to a side issue of world hunger: if we are having to use more land to grow fuel, that is less human fuel for those who need it. i've heard things about sugar beets and different types of sillage. please dont hold me to be a chemical engineer here, but as a layman, i can look at the numbers of energy yields per gram of material used for fuel. so sorry, iowa. for general energy needs, wind has amazing potential. solar does as well. it's all about finding ways to harness it. again, i am not a scientist or engineer but i am guessing that they could figure out how. however, as an investor/leader in the coming enconomy, i can help to make these projects feasible in one capacity or another.

Read somewhere recently that if the US produced the same percentage of its electrical power from nuclear plants as does France, we would be dumping 20 million less tons of carbon into our atmosphere per month by not burning all that coal. So why isn't nuclear part of the solution to global warming?

An entrepreneur, too.

and when did i NOT view nuclear as an alternative? dude, just admit that you either wanted to start an argument or that you read something into my post that wasn't there. Ron, I don't know who you think you're fooling, and frankly, I don't care. This is only the 558th time you've argued yourself into an obvious corner on this forum out of a love for reading your own posts that exceeds your ability to recognize that you don't have anything to say. Since you are immune to making a complete fool of yourself, this will have no effect, but here's a quick recap of how the conversation went down - Pale said: WE NEED TO DRILL and BUILD REFINERIES and NUCLEAR PLANTS You replied: how about finding alternative energy, pale? I asked: What is nuclear power not an alternative to, Ron? You said: i know the navy possesses many nuclear powered vehicles but i'm not sure of any available to the consumer market. But, I do look forward to the futuristic energy solutions that you are going to bring to us through your entrepreneurial acumen. Good thing you've been making all this money by attending law/grad school for most of your adult life so you can pour it into r&d now.

(a) Ron, this isn't hard - the thread isn't very long, and everyone can come up with their own opinion about whether it was inappropriate for me to ask you to clarify your out-of-hand dismissal of Pale's sugggestion. I was not looking for a fight, I was looking for an answer. It certainly appears to me that the answer is, you don't have a clue about this. But I'm not going to argue about it anymore. If you need to have the last word, take it.
(b) I have no fake concern about your future or finances, only unbridled optimism about the glorious future that you, as a forward-thinking entrepreneur, are going to bring to the American people. Godspeed, Ron Mexico, Godspeed.
