Hi,

If a terrorist breaks a long distance electrical line (which we already have and use all the time), what happens? We lose electricity.

If a terrorist blows up a nuclear power plant, or gets a hold of some plutonium and uses it in a dirty bomb, or dumps it into a water supply, what happens? You get a lot of dead people and/or a ruined area.

Over the 1,700 miles from San Antonio up to Calgary, do you think that there will be no wind blowing anywhere?

In the 500,000+ square miles in the sunniest areas of the country, do you think that there will ever be a time when it is all cloudy?

Did you know that enough sunlight energy strikes the earth in 40 minutes to power the whole earth for 1 year? The fusion reactor we call the sun is at a fairly safe distance: 91-94.5 million miles away.
