OT: Gas Prices, Screwed over and over and over Options

[N14]

Put 50 litres (13.2US Gal.) in last night and paid a tad over $65............somehow I think we're getting ripped off out here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Where's the best place to buy gas?????

I'm all in favor of nuclear power. It is also misguided to think there is only enough fissile U235/238 to power for a couple decades.

It was not stated that there was only enough uranium to last 20 yrs. To repeat, it was stated that if we attempted to convert entirely to nuclear power, that there is only enough to last 20 years. Estimates of U238, just as with oil, are rough. But even though the US won't convert entirely to nuclear, the rest of the world will accelerate demand for U238. The point is that the situation with nuclear power isn't any better than that of oil. If you are confident enough that this is "misguided" I would like to hear your expertise and sources.

What about breeder reactors? They use uranium but produce plutonium.

Yeah, I know, plutonium is nasty, nasty stuff.
