  1. The answer to that is, what kind of car do you drive?  Auto manufacturers sell people what they want.  If you are driving anything that gets less than 30 miles per gallon, quityurbitchin.


  2. As a Oil Corp owner, I can tell you I'm not rich.

    Oil Corps don't use uranium, power companies do.

    The military uses uranium in naval vessels, warheads (which have been "used" in decades, and sabot rounds. Sabot rounds use Spent Uranium, and saved countless American lives in the first Gulf War.

    It is estimated that the waste to power a major U.S. city via nuclear power for a year creates enough waste that it would fill a small box you could shove under a desk.  It just hangs around awhile.  This seems more attractive in many respects than the waste created by oil or gas fired power plants.

    I am concerned about my family & living on this planet. Which is why I want power so I can do & get to my job, run the life saving machines at my local hospital, run my local police cars & fireengines, keep at bay the Wisconsin winters, etc... maybe you'd prefer to be a caveman (no cooking fires though that's a heavy polluter for the useful energy produced!)

  3. apparently they think they'll be rich enough that they can move away from areas that have problems.

    and they're likely correct.

    Canada is likely to become more hospitable, as are some areas of Siberia.

    so, since they have more money than you, they can cope more easily.

  4. Your question lacks the spelling skills and syntax necessary to give you an answer that makes sense.

    Please get help with your English skills and re-submit your question.....

    Thank you!

  5. Your proposals would severely limit transportation of people and goods, fuel to light and heat our homes, plastics, fertilizer to grow crops.  

    Since a lot of retirement plans own stocks of various corporations, restricting corporations could lead to greater poverty among the elderly.  

    I am not aware of the military currently using atomic weapons.
