I have responded to his idiotic comment.

I'm not devoting another post to disproving everything he said, if you want to see it, there's a comment on his page.

I'll post the comment I left here too:

You're right, tritium isn't used in fission reactors. How ever, it IS a waste product produced by nuclear reactors. Don't tell me it didn't happen, it was all over my town's newspaper. Oh, and the texas comment was making a refrence to George Bush.

The whole point of that original entry  was not about fusion. It was about FISSION. As we know it, fission reactions create harmful radioactive waste that remains radioactive for thousands of years. That was the point I was making. You obviously have NOT done your research.

If you don't believe there was a tritium leak, look up any recent articles about the nuclear power plant in Braidwood, Illinois.

I have found multiple articles:

And this:
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-tritium17.html

look at the bottom of the 2nd article.
There you have it. Tritium, a WASTE product of nuclear fission reactions, leaked into the surrounding town's ground water on EIGHT SEPARATE OCCAISIONS.

You clearly have NOT done your research.
Don't tell me I'm wrong. I live here.
I know what happened, I know that there is an elevated risk of cancer in the surrounding area. If the water wasn't safe to drink, then there is a problem. Nuclear power is just not safe, so please, stop trying.

If you truly honestly believe that I'm wrong, then I implore you to come to here, specifically braidwood, and live there for a while. While you're at it, have a couple cups of their local ground water.

Yeah so good times.

Anyways.

E85.

It is the future of fuel.

We ARE running out of oil and something needs to be done. I'm sure steelviper disagrees, but that's ok, see, he's one of the people who can't listen to logic. Of course, should we fail to ever switch and then we run out of oil, I'll be able to say "ha, I told you so." That's a really good feeling. So is walking everywhere.

It's strange. I watched a video on ANWR the other day. It was called "Oil On Ice". One quote stuck out in my mind. I forget who said it, but it makes a great point:

"When we're addicted to drugs, we're told to cut off the supply. When we're addicted to oil, we're told to increase it."--The Bald Guy from that Movie I Watched

Something needs to be done. Personally, I suggest switching to E85. It will not only solve our oil problem, it is cleaner (it's made from 85% ethanol as opposed to the current 10%) and we have what we need to make tons of it. Corn. Ethanol comes from corn. Not to mention that it will benefit farmers who America is constantly screwing over.

People tend to argue that it'd be too hard to switch over.

Not true. It's a matter of giving the car some new software. It's really quite simple.

Other's might argue that it could slow the car down, etc. I know people often say that it will slow the car down because we have these hybrids (which are amazing cars) that have a 0-60 of around 15 seconds, much like my corolla. It's actually just the opposite. E85 has a typical octane rating around 105. That's more than premium gas, and the best part is that it costs as much as regular.

There's no reason we aren't switching other than that the oil companies would crumble.
