"no! we MUST have our energy! electricity is our GOD GIVEN RIGHT!"

or was it thefted by a promethean?

"but we will die without our electricity supply!!!"

what a superior civilization you have there.

"our sophisticated civilization builds great things with electricity!"

like impending doom, for example?

"we can always build more nuclear plants if other sources run out"

can you guarantee your ability to monitor and afford repairs to the casks of depleted uranium/plutonium whose half-lives are longer than 'civilization' thus far? you aren't even sure you can guarantee social security twenty years down the road!!!

"well, it's too late to turn around. we must continue forward."

what mature thinking. i'm drowning in this ocean, but its too late to head back to land, so i must try and swim across.

the solution is to our aft, not our fore. but cassandru you'll surely ignore!
