    The 9 countries with nuclear weapons that we know of!


    1. Russia - 8,500 nuclear warheads
    2. United States - 7,700 nuclear warheads
    3. France - 300 nuclear warheads
    4. China - 240 nuclear warheads
    5. United Kingdom - 225 nuclear warheads
    6. Israel - 80 to 200 nuclear warheads
    7. Pakistan - 90 to 110 nuclear warheads
    8. India - 80 to 100 nuclear warheads
    9. North Korea - less than 10 nuclear warheads


    Before the Soviet Union collapsed, its arsenal included 45,000 nuclear warheads.
    Russia has trimmed it down to 8,500, though only 1,740 are active, Do to the NPT.

      What is the US oil production per capita and oil production/consumption ratio compared to other countries?

        Hmmmm, maybe someone should make something that spins forever, and send it to his wife, (probably be stopped if sent to Obama) with the sentence, "here stupid, stop global warming tomorrow, develop and mass produce this"!!!!!

          If someone could do that - there would not be much need for oil anymore.

        Not real sure. I know we just hit #1 in product, as in "just" - like maybe this last week. Our consumption is ridiculous, though - but then, a lot of countries are the size of just one of our states, too, so comparisons, to be rational have to be per/capita or they're just misleading.

        I know we could save millions of barrels a year just by getting rid of plastic bag production and making them reusable - out of hemp.
