The US may run out of energy through its religious insistence on using chemical fuels (thus releasing hundreds of times MORE radiation into the environment; there's radium in coal), but there are plenty of countries out there that know how to build reactors. Many of them even reprocess their fuel rods instead of pretending that they are "waste", and a couple even use the 1960s technologies that breed more fuel. And none of these nuclear energy sources release greenhouse gases. After the Earth's fission fuels are used up, there's always the helium-3 in the gas giants. The world isn't going to run out of energy for cryonics. But it may run out of freedom for cryonics. --part1_73.169593f7.2932774b_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18022
