lots of nuclear power options here (or right around the corner), but we might be too soft to let them help us.

yep, just read that too.  12 miles long, a mile under the surface.  Probably more of a slushy, salty muddy mess, but it's something.

Neanderthals did not disappear 40,000 years ago.

We simply bred them out. The remnants of the Neanderthal species can still be seen in modern human genetics

1. Red Hair
2. Obscene bigotry towards other races
3. An unrepentant desire for leadership and self-glorification
4. A sexual urge to grab women without notice

Characteristics that one eventually cannot hide.

Anthropology actually suggests Neanderthals were gentler (as well as having bigger brains and more strength) than Homo Sapiens. You're just referring to stereotypes based on outdated notions.
