I guess I'm an old geezer, but I heard all this before in the 1970's. Remember the famous bets over resource shortages? We were all going to be starving in the street because there weren't enough resources. Funny thing happened, the free market solved the problem. The next 20 years were the richest in human history. Today, I see nuclear finally starting to get past NIMBY and the chicken littles, mainly because the chicken littles now fear Carbon more than Radiation. We could have been 75 percent Nuclear now, if it wasn't for the "No Nuke" crowd 40 years ago. Same crowd today, only it's "No Carbon" today.

If you want to put on the Hairshirt, be my guest. But if you point a gun my way, I'll point mine back. That, comrade, is freedom....
