That's not "cool", that's a tragedy. U.S. has maternal mortality twice the rate of the average high-income country. Of course you have a bunch of dudes shrugging it off, then asking why women don't have more babies.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

In general, I don't feel like nuclear energy is being over-hyped right now, there's just a lot of investment interest and government support so dozens of companies competing for those resources. BUT everyone knew Fermi - founded by Rick Perry - was a huge grift: www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Well...when you put it like that...
A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
Sound efficient?
