PS: Regarding Margo's comment - could you please name ANYONE that has died from nuclear power generation in the United States.

World oil prices have driven up the cost of everything that moves from one point to another. So the higher the cost of gas goes up- the more expensive everything gradually gets. And like it or not, we're going to have to get used to it- because we LOVE our high standard of living in this country.

..because the dinosaurs' remains (fossil fuels) are most easily accessible in Arab states that set high prices through OPEC...and we will not learn to curb our greed or change to a new source of energy that won't kill us(like nuclear would).
