technically speaking, it does not clear its neighborhood. But that also means that Neptune does not clear its own neighborhood. Mars and Jupiter don’t clear their neighborhoods as they “interfere” with the Asteroids, and the Earth actually orbits the Sun with thousands of Asteroids. So the Earth doesn’t clear its own neighborhood either. So if we use the definition set forth by the IAU, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, and the Earth, are NOT planets! Also, why aren’t “Dwarf Planets” known as planets

Jj This is a hard choice to make because at the same time while we are drilling we are getting oil that is needed to other purposes but I do agree that we need to go green no matter what. I believe we need to look at both sides of the situation and find a solution that will help both parties out.
