Most of the people of Bermuda were on their scooters to get to work, and shop. <br /> <br />That's the kind of change we need here in America. Drop those speed limits down to 20 mph as in Bermuda, and change our vehicle of choice to a scooter..... <br /> <br />As far as nulear waste is concerned, 99 percent of the contaminated waste is gone in 10 years, and another 99 percent of that is gone in 100 years. In fact, the uranium that is mined is more toxic than what's left after 100 years..... <br /> <br />And yes, we should be more like the Europeans about renting trucks or having large loads delivered.... We don't need large pickups to drive to work or shop at the grocery store..... <br /> <br />A little humor: the next SUV from Detroit is..... <br />[img]http://homepage.mac.com/donclark/.Public/futuresuv.jpg[/img] <br /> <br /> <br />
