Seems stupid now that during the 70's I was active in fighting new nuclear power plants, now fusion or even old school fission seems the only way forward.

And it is quite comfortable on the Yamaha today at 99 degrees if you go fast enough.

I forgot who asked, but do you actually put your kids in the Crossfire or only the SUV with the multi-zone AC and four DVD players with 8 MPG?
If you were fighting nuclear you are partly responsible for the jam everyone is in now. EcoManiacs are being shielded by the press for the moment, but eventually everyone will recognize that they are paying through the nose for gas because of the EPA and the Sierra Club kind of folk. There is no alternative to oil for the next 40 years. Cheap oil is the way this economy works and to change over will take two generations or more. We cannot just stop using oil and because of EcoManiacs we can't even go get more right here at home or build another refinery or build a nuclear plant. The laws of supply and demand are killing us. WE are in a word "screwed" because of the tree huggers. I would keep it a secret that at some time in the past you were helping to kill this economy...people won't be happy about that when they are paying $10.00 a gallon for gas to get to work...
