We Californians don’t like nuclear power plants. We don’t like power plants of any kind. We don’t like oil refineries or power lines either. And, of course, we don’t want our beautiful state marred by those ugly oil wells and pumps. However, there are things that we do like.
We love our SUVs, our computers, VCRs and TVs. Our kids spend hours in front of the television playing Nintendo, Play Station and every new power dependent toy that Japan can produce while the sun is shining outdoors.
We have a problem. Those selfish people who live with oil refineries, power plants, and miles of power lines won’t share their energy with us. Didn’t we offer to trade oranges for oil?
