During the first three months of 2011, energy produced from renewable energy sources (biomass/biofuels, geothermal, solar, hydro, wind) generated 2.245 quadrillion Btus of energy equating to 11.73 percent of U.S. energy production. During this same time period, renewable energy production surpassed nuclear energy power by 5.65 percent. In total, energy produced from renewables is 77.15 percent of that from domestic crude oil production."

    mdsolar is laughing to himself right now. He sucked off Soulskill yet again till he came. I mean, wowza. mdsolar has sucked off Soulskill so many times that his ding-dong doesn't have any skin left and is nearly down to the subcutaneous fat. But he does get his flood of submissions posted. And Soulskill gets to shoot a flood of a billion half-babies into another dude's mouth. Gross.
