I am in the same boat as you, and often find myself tired from fighting both fronts. On the one hand I have to defend my disbelief in man-made global warming, then on the other I have to defend my environmentalist ideals from people who take their talking points written in stone.
There is a lot we can be doing to help out our environment, but we still have our communities to run. It would be fantastic to get everything completely green, but we shouldn't have to sacrifice everything to achieve that goal next week just because there is a hysteria over global warming. People love taking angles in order to get what they want, and it just seems as if they are using climate change as leverage for popularity and warm fuzzies.
P.S. Nuclear energy all the way, %100. Oops, Greenpeace is against that greenest of options. Fruit irradiation as the new Pasteurization revolution? Nope, that's gone as well.

Dec 5th 2006 8:31PM My old professor a couple of years ago at Trinity University was doing the LD50 and LD100 tests for this very machine. When he did a small presentation on its capabilities for our department he mentioned that he thought it was funny that the Army only requested the data on its lethality. I'm hoping they performed additional research of their own, because so far their definition of "safe" is "we know what kills a person, so we won't do that."
Oh, and they can easily just turn the knob up and make it lethal. With an increased power supply, the unit could make a person pass out within a minute to 90 seconds, and would probably die within 5 minutes under prolonged exposure. Considering that the unit has a massive coverage area, this thing could turn into a bad-day pretty fast.
