Any idea of how long it would take your state to switch to oil for electricity from its current power source?
We're talking years at best.
I know this well too. Our plant was hit by a tornado during the hurricane. At first there was panic when someone said on the radio that it might be 18 months before we have power to our entire city.
But then it turned out that the damage was only minimal and we got power in less than 3 weeks.
Anyhow, what system uses only oil for electricity? I am sure there is one, just can't think of it atm.
As for bombing them, how could you even imagine that we wouldn't?
It's clear that Bush would have if public opinion had not shifted.
He was testing the waters with speech after speech about Iran.
When he gave up, his speeches stopped.
It was obvious that he was trying to "Prime us".
Apply some logic to that... Iran has done nothing but laugh at us and continue to pursue their nuclear program. Yet Bush no longer seems to care.
He is no longer priming us with fear tactics.
He gave up.
McCain sings songs about bombing Iran. Makes jokes about it.
He is extremely pro war.
He already is increasing tensions with countries like Russia and China with his petty name calling and personal insults.
How could you possibly not think that bombing Iran is part of the package?
