I have read about a plant that ran for years on spent fuel rods from other, larger plants. When other nuclear plants needed to be built the gov't went with a design that would support our "mutually assured destruction" foreign policy (can you say "dual purpose facility). But, what ever happened to that original power plant? Why can't we build more of them? Why aren't we hearing more about it, now that we really need such plants to offset foreign oil and the U.N. Kyoto tax bill on fossil fuel use?

I have one bird that visits my feeder every day that I can get very close to. I also have another bird that acts similar but is colored like a young Cardinal, perhaps immature Towhee?

In light of the current situation in the Middle East & the price of a barrel of crude oil, why hasn't the U.S. done more to blaze the trail of leading the world towards alternative fuels and environmentally friendly cars?....why must we always follow instead of lead the world??

Most bugs help things decompose to keep the planet clean. Spiders and small animals keep the bug population in check and feed bigger animals. Bigger animals feed us, and animals of all sizes help keep the soil rich with waste products. So what do mosquitoes do?

Ok, I live in the Southeast (TN) and it's normal for it to get really hot around this time of the year, but it's ridiculous now. Is it simply globabl warming or is there some sort of transient heat wave sweeping across the country this week that's making the temperatures out of control?

If you were told to use less would you make an effort to reduce your consumption? could you do it if you were told not to drive your car as much to lower gas usage?

We have a cottage in mid Michigan, (Higgins Lk. area). This year when we went up for the weekend, when we turned on the water it was dark reddish-brown. We ran it for about 4 hours but it never really cleared up.The well is a 4 or 5 inch, drilled well, and around 175 feet deep and it is a VERY sandy area. Our well is one of the deepest on a street of about 15 other cottages with wells. For years our water has been outstanding, so good we would bring it back home for drinking. The well is only about 16 yrs old.

My mom went to New Brunswick and the sand was a 'terra cotta' colour. Like a burnt orange.
Other places have white. Here in Ontario the sand on most beaches is 'sand' colour. Beige.

The Sun is going to keep shining for a long time, and it's energy is renewable (I think), unlike gasoline and other resources. It seems like the most sensible source of energy to use (or is it? If not, point it out in your answer)! However, it also seems that there are things preventing us from using the Sun. What are they? Is it just too expensive? Is our society too used to using gasoline and other fuels that nobody is willing to take a leap to create a product using the Sun's energy because they fear losing money? Is it just the lack of technology? and if so, why aren't we developing the technology to use the sunlight? Do we get a small amount of energy from the sun that isn't worth harvesting?

What is preventing us from turning to the Sun for our main source of energy?

It's so obvious with every year giving record temperatures and all the scientific evidence. No, don't give me the "pattern" crap. I already know that isn't true.
