Nuclear people! Listen to me and accept it before it's too late! What will power the nation when we use electric cars? Nuclear! Done right something like 200,000 mega watts. You can't send power from Californian deserts, etc. to NY, but you can put a nuclear reactor just about anywhere.

@contemporarymonk probably because those reserves do not belong to us. Even if there is a huge amount of oil in siberia, that doesn't mean its ours to take.

@EarTipper hm. what you seem to be suggesting is natural selection would pick them off; I quite agree on that. My main point was that its very silly to pick americans out as the "survivors" when historically we are terrible at adapting to changes.
