t4texas, I replied earlier but I am not sure why the post did not come through. I responded that France had over 50% of its energy coming from nuclear reactors scattered across its country. Japan has a high nuclear component as well, and Brazil has become practically energy independent during the last 30 years, coming from nearly zero domestic production. Brazil is big on hydroelectric power and also on developing off-shore deep water oil platforms. They have very large reserves.

I sense a Texan defensive attitude and my earlier question does not reflect the opposite side, that the US has gotten it wrong. I am pro-energy development and a republican, but that has nothing to do with my earlier comment. I have not inferred anything close to that. What I have said is that others seem to develop resources that our environmentalists and politicians say will destroy our ecosystem. The proof is in the pudding. There is a ton of offshore development elsewhere that is not leaking oil around the high seas. And while there is an occasional accident, proper planning minimizes that risk.

Sorry my post did not make it. Best regards,
