With a little luck, we will be 100% powered by nuclear, the windmills will
be abandoned as
being too expensive, your electric car will have a decent battery and a
hydro or hydro
carbon powered apu for range. We will still have oil.

I think T. Boon went for wind because he figured he could get it done in
his lifetime. If
he could have got nuclear plants up quick I bet he would have invested
differently. Part
of the art of politics is recognizing the doable and working inside that
framework. In
the world of the future, a nuclear facility will be located on that wind
farm, after all,
the power lines are there.

Electric heat will be the norm, since due to nuclear power plants, it is
now the cheapest
least polluting form of energy on the planet.

Our national debt will have been erased since we and Canada are the only
countries with
hydrocarbons to sell to the now depleted world market at prices that make
$140 a barrel
oil seem cheap.

Some bitter clingers will cling to their photocells and home windmills but
the rest of us
will get to enjoy what the "environmentalist's" denied us for decades.
CHEAP CLEAN
ENERGY.

The price of a kilowatt of power generated by wind is four cents. Nothing
else is close to that, wind never runs out, and it produces no nuclear
waste. That's why Pickens is for it. Nuclear power has more negatives to it
than wind and it's more expensive.
