Relying on forty-year-old nuclear fission technology. Yikes.
New and improved batteries? So what?
going green is a joke, I was looking at freezers the other day and the smaller freezer that I need because it's just me and my wife and we don't need to hold a years worth of food is not energy star rated yet using a 1/3 of the energy the big a$$ freezers do. It's just another part of our consumer culture that bigger is always better, I mean it has to be better because it's freakin huge.
