Yet were burnings billions of barrels of oil yearly in our power plants vs using nuclear power, the rest of the world especially Europe has taken nicely to what we invented. Several new plants are built around the world every year but I think it's been over 30 years I believe since one has been built here. Lets not even go into clean coal burning ones. So much for being environmentally conscious we can safely store spent rods but choose to instead take our freedoms and our choices away.

On another note they changed the formula for MPG last year backhandedly and now their increasing the MPG minimum rating. What does that matter you say? Well a car that 2 years ago was rated for 30MPG now is rated at 25. So something meeting the new standards would have been rated at 40+mpg 2 years ago. If the Camaro survives it will be on a smaller lighter platform with a much smaller engine, The 3.6 V6 might end up as the top dog engine.
