Ohhh the sky is fallling.. When is the last time that France or any other nation has had a nuclular disaster aside from that "pilot error" crash in Russia !

30,000 people died in auto crashes in the US last year.

10 times that number in India.

Want to _save_ lives .. try driver safety classes and get off the nukes are bad dogma.

I have certain religious beliefs.. they don't get in the way of scientific facts.

Some people have _pseudo_scientific_ "beliefs" that don't get in the way of scientific facts.

There is not nuch difference.

John,

The retoric is just a sample of the "You are good or you are evil" mentality of the Bush era.  No grey areas, no thoughtfull discussion.

That is too hard and takes too much time.

Wow,

Have you got that right !  We will spend $billions on 6 lane freeways before a few million on mass transit.  A 160 mph bullet train from Eugene-Corvallis-Salem to Portland on a 30 min schedule would cost less than the routine upkeep of the I-5 system over 15 years

Foot print ?

Huge.. for initial construction,

but would you rather import Saudi oil or strip mine Coal ?

At least US workers would be employed.

Better than the "Drill baby Drill" drivel from the oil companys.
