    The majority of our power is produced by renewable energy sources around 70%. The ouput is in the following order:
    Hydro
    Gas
    Geothermal
    Coal
    Wind
    Other renewable sources

    I know that we are tiny in comparrison to the USA but if there are ways for all countries to expand in sustainable, renewable areas it has to be a good thing.

    If Obama is serious about his targets I would be interested in what is being done about it. Are there incentives for people to go solar? The unfortunate thing with most sustainable energy sources are that that can be expensive to implement and as previous posts have said they may not work for every country.

    There was a travel show on recently where the host went into Chernobyl. The radiation levels are still high but apparently are safe in small doses, tell that to the men who still work on the reactor everyday patching up the terrible job done to stop the leaks. It's not somewhere I would risk going to, it looked haunting...

    "a 41 years old reactor gets hit by a 8.5 earthquake, then slammed with a 20' tall swell, followed by an explosion due to the build up of hydrogen gas that blows off the roof of the building, and the core is intact and contained... and you're telling me that nuclear power isn't safe?"

    very sound logic 8-)
