Default Re: Mid Ga. Gas Prices

As much as I don't like it for transportation, I think the energy solution is this:

1. Build enough nuclear electric power plants and have an excess of electricty.
2. When we have an excess of electricty, dissasociate water into hydrogen and oxygen.
3. Transportation uses hydrogen or electric powered vehicles.

The big issue with nuclear power is spent nuclear waste. I've done some basic calcs, and if ALL of the total energy use from USA were nuclear, it would fill less than 100 tractor trailers per year of waste. I think we can handle this drawback to not be tied to the middle east for oil.

I know it's not racing related, but related to this topic.
