    Nuclear energy is horrible...those for wind power will find hundreds of animal rights protesters on your door cause it kills all the birdies....and hydro power kills the fishies. Theres no real solution cause someone will complain in every way. :D

    Thanks. Just took it out of the shop and decided to not get a GPS cause Honda told me they'll void my warranty...he recommend me to have it installed by Honda (which cost around 3k as oppose to 1k at the store). I told him (the assistant manager) to kiss my ass (more like fuck you..). Now i'm looking for a portable GPS....I hear there is a GPS phone out...I just got a new phone but i won't mind switching over. Anyone have the GPS phone? Good stuff?

    Personally i believe nuclear energy is the future. Its not as bad as many people think, as long as you store away the waste properly and then build the reactors as safetly as possible, its good

    Nuclear waste has to be stored for 1000+ years. One drum full in a lake can kill all the fishes in there. Theres no drum that can be properly stored for 1000+ years. Drums from 50-60 years ago have already started rusting and leaking. And because of linguistic differences in the future the main concern is that people will dig it up thinking its a treasure.

    ^ ahhh thats ok, im sure we can store it long enough till humans kill each other anyway.

    Fossil fuels will run out way before nuclear fuel will, fossil fuels are already changing our atmosphere. Wind power and hydro power suck and so does solar energy.

    Nuclear fusion (if successful in making useful power) only creates harmless helium :D

    a good mpg would be like 50mpg so 70 is really good, what is it a hybrid?

    wow, even 50 is considered good?

    50 is really good, most fuel efficient cars can 40mpg. The honda that can do 70 is hybrid
