^^^^ I was pretty surprised myself when I saw the stats. The US is really hooked on fossil fuels. It's going to require an intervention to get this addict off the junk. Fortunately this country has an incredible human spirit that can accomplish so much when it is challenged. I would say that most countries would be screwed in this situation, but I honestly believe that America COULD make a quick transition (5-10 years) to a new energy standrad if pushed. Canada is in a very enviable position IMO. Abundant resources, lots of hydro sites, lots of open spaces for nuke plants, and one of the best reactor systems in the world. All its going to take is a major challenge and I think things could change for the better all around.
