I´m thinkin of starting a science topic each week.
Is this a good Idea? Is anyone interesting in science here?

Title: Power

Power in the US and how there has not been a nuclear power plant built over here in over 30 years.

And now California is suffering because energy prices went up yet they were not allowed to raise their rates.  And now the people in Cali are really going to suffer because of it.  Its only going to get a hell of a lot worse this summer.

Energy is going to be the next crisis in this world.  Not hunger, not money, ENergy.

In the next few years, damn next few months, you are going to probably see a big push from the nuclear industry to build more plants.  Good.  The U.S. needs to get off its dependancy on Foriegn oil...

Ummm okay.....  I like my PSX2 its fun, do you like yours..??

I think that would be a good topic...!

Solar power has yet to become economical enough to replace fossil fuels as a source of energy.  Also, nuclear energy produces hazardous toxic nuclear waste for which there is no good or inexpensive way to dispose of... the reason we don\'t use more of it.

Until someone figures out how to transform water into energy efficiently we\'ll be stuck in this boat.
