Is the Global Economy Drowning in a Sea of Black Gold?

fxtrader07: Even if what you say is true about Germany and Austria I couldn't care less about their 1970's backward thinking. Look at France. 36% of power is sourced from Nuclear. Number of incidents to-date, 0. Quality of Air in France? best in world. Cost of power? Cheapest in Europe.
As for waste, I'm pretty sure steel and concrete will last far more than 200 years. And the 30t per average reactor is far better than 1000's of tonnes from coal and oil emissions from an equiv traditional plant.
Also I think you're forgetting the point of Nuclear, to cut emissions to improve the quality of the planet. Jury is still out on global warming however.

beans:
There is a supply of cheap energy which has nearly zero emissions... it's called Nuclear. However, until the hippies get over some shit house Soviet reactor that by their own admission was a pile of crap that melted nearly 30 years ago, this useless debate on fossils will continue.
A) Bring on Nuclear power (ala France)
B) Bring on the high power, electric car

While Iran Threat Keeps Oil Elevated, U.S. Stocks and Dollar Slip

I think in general it's an extremely poor indictment on the upper echelons of American 'management' when you have can elect someone like Bush as president. No doubt in other positions of significance...say... US investment banks, people of equally gross incompetence slime their way to the top 80's style, with similar levels of horrendous outcomes.

You're smoking hot, so how about we discuss this further over a fine bottle o' Bollinger?
