Here's an idea. How about we start having half the amount of babies we are currently having, that way in a few generations we will require half the amount of energy from this planet? After a few hundred years there will be more than enough clean resources to support a few hundred thousand of us. The planet will be much cleaner and we will be much happier.
What do you guys think?
We can argue about where we are going to get energy, where we are going to fit it until we are blue in the face, but 8 billion and growing people are going to suck this planet dry.
natural gas.......eat more beans and carry an air tight vacuum strapped to our backs then discharge the collected gas's into a containment tank in our own back yards, the farmers and the citizens alike stand to profit
by just a single can of beans at a time.
there ya have it problem solved.
Maybe Germany can...but how could Japan, it is a very small country and large population, where would they put all those windmills?
Here in Ontario, Canada nuclear energy accounts for about 50% of our energy needs, they've been been plopping down windmills everywhere for the last 8 years and they still only meet 7% of our energy needs. We could have expanded our nuclear plants and added way energy than what these windmills account for.
And to my knowledge we've never come close to an nuclear accident with our plants.
unless you count the yankee nulcear plant in the northeast that, a year or two ago, was leaking radioactive waste into the watertable turning some of it almost as dirty as straight reactor water....this started months after the company lied under oath saying there weren't any underground pipes at the plant then saying they must have misunderstood the question months later :roll:
by the way, it took many months for them even to discover where the leak was coming from. and oddly this was pretty much all unreported in the mainstream corporate media
if nuclear power companies want to build new plants fine, but do it without all the corporate welfare they demand. how many decades will they take to pay us back for those loan guarantees? i'd rather see that money go into renewables. it's not like the only choices are windmills or coal or nuclear. we could put solar panels in the parts of the country uninhabited like parts of death valley, use turbines powered by the tide on coastal regions, windmills in plain areas with not much people....
not to mention where are you gonna store all the waste?? because the DOE has said yucca mountain can not be a permanent location
don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487
That water was nowhere close to reactor water. I sat in on a conference on Vermont Yankee, please stop spreading false implications.

Energy crisis solved!
go see *waiting for superman* ... you'll come up with a whole whack of solutions! ...
