The timing of this move is surely intended to send a message to anyone who opposes SOPA/PIPA.
And that light to the free world, the USA has made it clear "we don't need no steenkin laws"
EVEN IF we can find a cheap, abundant replacement energy source for everyone to use, replacing fossil fuels completely:
We still have a problem!
No energy conversion process is 100% efficient. There are SO MANY of us now, using SO MUCH energy, and generating SO MUCH
WASTE HEAT, that the planet's heat level is rising with no end in sight --
short of apocalyptic decimation of the swarming mass of humanity.
It's sad to see our country crashing down in ruins, and EVERYTHING our president tries to do to stop it is IMMEDIATELY STOMPED ON by his political
enemies, the Rebuplican Party.
You could also see this as another attempt by rich people (aka Republicans) to make a little more money, a little faster,
and to hell with the consequences for the environment or the economy.
Why don't we just leave them to their business, and keep to our own? Otherwise, we'll have community organizers signing up dolphins to vote in elections and lobbying for tax dollars to fund flipper-accessible housing.
We don't do that now, do we? We pollute their environment with the raucous and confusing noise of cargo ships hauling goods back and forth across the oceans,
drowning them with fishing nets, harvesting their food to eat ourselves, capturing them to amuse us with their tricks,
(the Japanese) harvesting them for "scientific research" (aka, eating them), etc?
Let's face it, they can't beat us OR join us...so they're well and truly frakked.
I REMEMBER asking this very question in high school science class...during the discussion of the "accepted definition of life"..."WHAT IF" rocks are alive, but living so slowly they aren't even aware of ephemeral protoplasmic life?"
I got sent to the Principal's Office as a TROUBLEMAKER and a CLASS DISRUPTION!
I have worked in nuclear power generation for the past 25 years. I've had to take the MMPI every time I go to a different plant, whether I've worked there before or not.
You say the MMPI was thoroughly discredited 20 years ago? Nobody told the Nuclear Fairies...
Me and everyone I've worked with refer to the MMPI as "the nut test" and we all assume it's to exclude SANE people, not US!

The last I heard, we weren't producing even 3% of our electricity from nuclear. So where did they GET this 10% figure??
