[ RadSafe ] Depleted uranium could this reduce our dependency on crude oil?

[ROY HERREN]

Ahmad,

  As a US citizen I am pained to have to ask, is it a good thing that "Besides 
exporting coal, the United States will export LNG, oil products and perhaps even 
crude oil in the next 10 to 15 years"?  As citizens of this world, Earth, we all 
end up eventually sharing the same air and water as these resources 
are endlessly recycled.  If global warming is fact, and not fiction, as some 
would have us believe, then wouldn't we be better served in the end by 
technology that limit continuing or growing carbon output?  What will become of 
our precious earth's atmosphere if the good and rightfully deserving peoples of 
the developing world try to live the American and western European lifestyle?  
Imagine a world with another billion or so gasoline and diesel powered 
automobiles and trucks.  Clearly if we the people of the world are to have an 
environment that is fit to live in we will have to make hard choices as to our 
future and the use of resources.  There should be a place in this future for 
fission to bridge us over to the use of fusion.  Many of the technologies to 
advance our world have already been developed and in some cases are already in 
place.  Unfortunately we currently lack the cohesive political will to push 
forward in a coherent fashion.

It looks like the energy landscape it changing in a way that "dependency on 
crude oil" is no longer an issue affecting energy security for the US.

perhaps even crude oil in the next 10 to 15 years" (Noel Tomnay, head of global 
gas research at Wood Mackenzie)
