The U.S. gets 50% of its electricity from coal.

India gets 70% of its electricity from coal.

China gets 80% of its electricity from coal.

Conversely, France gets 80% of its electricity from nuclear.

We could show China the way by shutting down our polluting coal-fired plants as soon as we have built the next generation nuclear plants to take their place.
We need to set a good example for India and China.

China is activating at least one new coal-fired plant every week!
They want to build 55 coal-fired plants per year for at least 5 years in a row.

We should also be building high-speed maglev rail networks all over the country in order to provide a viable alternative to air and highway travel.
With the latest in pre-stressed concrete structural components, we can build an elevated maglev rail system that will avoid the dangers and traffic disruptions associated with rail crossings of surface streets.

Texas and Wyoming are the worst offenders in coal emissions!

Whenever I shave my legs, no matter what kind of gel or soap I use, I always get red bumps.Any suggestions??

No matter what type of razor blade i use, i always get the bumps, one way that works pretty good is not shaving my legs for like a month and letting it grow out, but I hate getting hairy!! Any suggestions about what i should use to help it? Or am I doomed to razor burn forever???!!!

God and Satan?

Here is something that has always got to me...if God created everything, is the alpha and the omega, is infallible and all that good stuff, how did he not know that when he created Lucifer that Lucifer would rebel and thus become the devil? To say that the devil was a master of deception and tricked God would prove that God is not infallible and all mighty (since he could be deceived by something he created). I mean, God knows all, past, present, future..so all the evils on this earth, the thought of a devil, etc are all part of his "plan" right?

Also, God is supposed to know everything, so did he not know (and plan) for Lucifer to fall from grace and become the devil? So in a way, it was God's plan to bring evil upon this world...he knew before he even created him what was to become of satan and his deeds upon this earth and human kind...
