2. Or cite to the items the wikipedia article cites. I find wikipedia to be a nice "springboard", as I can go to the references, and then to the reference's references, and so on. Quick way to get useful and cite-able info.
2. More like zero risk. It is physically impossible for a modern pebble-bed reactor to melt down. You can yank the control rods, cut off the coolant, and it'll just power down with zero intervention and no fancy systems. They showed this off by doing exactly that with a test reactor in Germany.
3. A lot less storage for a lot less time is needed if we ditch that stupid Carterism of "breeder reactors encourage nuclear proliferation". This also helps a lot with problem 1.
4. Certainly. Mining is generally a pretty messy business, though how does uranium mining compare to coal mining or oil drilling?
Right now, I wouldn't consider buying so much as an electric scooter as long as the power plant is coal. But if the grid is nuclear (or some other green power), buying an electric car, motorcycle, etc suddenly makes sense. Even with "dirty" power, it's still a lot cleaner and more efficient than a gas vehicle, just by leveraging scalar efficiency. A gas engine is about 30% efficient at best. Coal, you're looking at 50% for the old crappy ones or up to about 80% with the latest designs.

no such thing with my krzr or however it's spelled. it works with every USB charger i've tried it with, including a cheap brandless double-AA emergency charger.
i've only had 1 flash drive fail on me, and it was one of those gizmo ones (the tiny half USB connector ones) and i'm pretty sure it's just that the (exposed) contacts are just screwed from living the rough life in my pocketes for a year and some.
my other 4 drives are a 512MB lexar (had for 3 years), a 1GB retail plus (walmart brand. casing split, but a little electrical tape has held it fine for the past 2 years), a 2GB memorex (small drive, but with a full usb connector. my newest one, to replace the gizmo), and a 4GB sandisk cruzer (the retracting connector one. no problem with inserting it so far.).
Why not send it? Postage to MPs is free and paper is cheap.
Unfortunately, it would take a lot of letters to make this guy fear for his job, as Calgary is firmly Conservative territory. The guy won by more than a 3:1 margin over the nearest competition, not to mention Harper's riding there also, who won it by more than a 6:1 margin.
What is the good of voting for a candidate with no chance of winning? To "send a message"? Does that really have an effect? Actually, while they currently don't have a snowball's chance in hell of forming the government, the NDP, Bloc (if you live in Quebec), and potentially the Greens (who have been experiencing a surge in popularity lately), can all swing considerable weight in a minority situation, which I think will be continuing for the foreseeable future, though it may become a Liberal minority in the next election unless the Conservatives do something really impressive.
Last poll I saw (done by CTV Globemedia) showed the Liberals and Conservatives in a tie @ 30% each (the Conservatives got 36% of the vote in 2006 and the Liberals got 30%), with the Conservatives hemmoraging votes in Quebec, the NDP almost exactly as they were in 2006, the Bloc gaining back votes in Quebec, and the Greens experiencing a surge in popularity, having doubled their share from less than 5% to about 10%.
Basically, a vote held right now would give us another minority (though I prefer minority governments), either Liberal or Conservative and likely slightly weaker than the current one, the Bloc with a few more MPs, the NDP pretty much unchanged, and possibly a Green MP or two.

It's not going to speed up your internet connection.
At best, everything will remain the same as now.
More realisticly, your bill will increase and your service will become worse.
At worst, they'll disconnect you as they've kicked off so many of the "top 5%" of users that you're now part of the top 5%.
It might be if IEtab works with IEs4Linux, though i haven't used that, so i'm unsure.
And we can sell you just the product you need for that.
You greatly overestimate the skill required. One could find the required tools and idiot-proof instructions to using them with 5 minutes on google.
I have yet to hear of comcast throttling anywhere that the users have other viable options for their internet service.
Provided that you have good (in both the accurate and non-evil senses) aim.

IIRC, this is HR 6304.
Keep in mind that the 30% only counts loss in the engine. It doesn't factor in losses in the transmission, differential, or anywhere else.
Grid losses are about 5%, IIRC.

Possibly better. Some of the most interesting bugs I've seen were created under the influence of far too much caffeine.

I've got a friend who has both of those (for liberalism and conservatism) on his car.
I dunno about where you are, but here in Saskatchewan, we can select if we want no-fault or tort for our insurance.

And what exactly do you have that can transfer data that fast?

Don't just email it, send it snail mail too. Postage to MPs is free and it's harder to ignore a sack of letters.
