You do realize that no alternative, renewable power source exists to charge the batteries on all electric vehicles don't you. The trade off is you burn coal to create the energy. Why do you think we have not switched? You can't wish something into existence. 30 heavy development on wind and solar and they have made little progress.
Nuclear is a great, safe and clean option, but the Environmentalists don't want safe and clean. We would have had to start building when France and Japan did. The Industry gave up when they realized you can't get past the lawsuits to even turn the first spade of soil. The Environmentalists are almost entirely responsible for most of the fossil fuel use.

The gyrobus would like to have a word with you
Not sure what would happen with it being underwater?

Has there been any other confirmation of this besides Rense? If the oil is radioactive, sensors on the Gulf Coast should be going haywire. Anyone seen any NEST vehicles? Or vehicles with strange antennae?

i feel it should be seen by many.
True words.

WOW...The Chevy Volt!!!! I've been hearing about that for years!!! I'm going to run right out tomorrow and buy one...oh wait,I cant. Just like the Nissan Leaf and the might-as-well-be-mythical Tesla. And if any of these cars DO make it to market,most of them will be priced well beyond the income of most middle to lower class families....especially as the economy keeps tanking. Oh well...nice idea,in theory.
The Chevy Volt retails at 20,000 dollars;
Within 5 years it should go down to 10,000 dollars for a used one;
10 years 2000 dollars

I'm just not liking this whole drilling thing.
I do hope you don't drive, use electricity, catch the bus, use plastic anything, or do anything else that relies on oil as a source if you're going to post this sort of idiotic comment.
If you're opposed to drilling, you'd better not be using oil in sny form.
If you're just opposed to offshore drilling, I hope you're not opposed to $20 a gallon gasoline, and paying all the countries that America hates for their oil reserves.
Lots of people seem to be up in arms about this spikk, but not many seem to be willing to give up oil or pay more for it.

Making a clean break from oil and oil byproducts will be nearly impossible. The wire insulation in every home is plastic as well as every power line. Even if we were to convert to another source of power, you still have to use insulated wire. And even the non-fossil fuel burning machines need lubrication (derived from oil). Electronics would be nearly impossible without the use of plastics. Phones, appliances, computers, lawn mowers, baby cribs, laminates, etc. So the moral of the story is, we depend on oil. But we need to become much less dependent on it as a primary fuel source. The less we drill, the less chance we have of having another DWH event. And the less we require, the lower the output will be on fewer wells.

First, I'll post the link from GLP via Rense
Article here
This explains a LOT as to why they are CorExit dumping and spraying the oil spill. It seems that oil from deep eart, coming up through the BP spill, is RADIOACTIVE too !! This is just another bad feeling on top of all the other bad feelings this spill is conjuring up. So not only do we have the process of Sulphuric Acid (when O2 and water combine with sodium hydrate),
They tested a small amount of oil for radiation, and found it in small amounts, but there is a giant cloud of this stuff still in the ocean that hasn't been measured. Here's a link to the video

I corrected myself back on page 3. It's Hydrogen Sulfide and not the sodium hydrate. My bad. I wanted to correct myself instead of re-editing the OP to make sure it stayed original. I get in a hurry sometimes
Oh, and the validity of the original link can be reinforced by the PDF file in my link half way up this page from the IAEA. It is not 'suspected' as it is spoken in detail on that link (and illustrating the decay process of Uranium and the genres of radioactive material), page 50 of the PDF. That should be enough credibility.
