I00 years ago it was nothing to "pop culture" and nobody drove a gasoline powered vehicle. Most vehicles were electric at that time.

I think you need to learn a little about automotive history before posting. It might help.

Second, who said anything about a NOOK-YOO-LUR anything. My OP is about fossil fuels. Unless you're talking about the 48 tons of Mercury that streams out of each coal plant every year. And 5.2 tons of Uranium (15,000 pounds of which is weapons grade) plus 12 tons of radioactive Thorium each and every year out of these coal plants.

Your post sounds like it has been handed an opinion and swallowed it hook line and sinker without looking up the truth about the "good ole" energy sources you seem to favor and don't think twice about using today.

My recommendation: think twice.
