high gas prices are bad but looking towards the future, the affect of high gas prices is causing car companies to make much more efficient cars (60+ mpg) and not many people are buying their 10 mpg cars anymore but i do hate paying $4.25 per gallon
i don't know either way. i wrote a position paper a year ago saying it was bad but thats only if somehting bad happens. The waste is hard to handle but it's a lot better for the environment than burning coal. something like 1 gram of uranium is equal to a ton of oil, so that's pretty darn good
