You are arguing against a straw man.<BR/><BR/>2) You would compare your per person energy usage against just about anyone else's? Well, compared to 90% of "anyone else" you would use FAR FAR more. Just the fact that you record your thoughts on a blog on a computer that is powered by electricity should tell you that. Paying to use electricity to do something this frivilous would be unthinkable in most of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-17190901306205074172008-03-02T17:01:00.000-08:002008-03-02T17:01:00.000-08:00Glen Rose, here in Texas, which I think is one of ...Glen Rose, here in Texas, which I think is one of the last nuclear power plants built, ended up costing three times the initial estimate due to court costs.
