| Mr Khan said: Please, saying that now is like if someone in 1960 said "there's no way we'll ever have home computers, it's just not feasible." Technology will get there, and we're only looking at base renewables (Solar/Wind), when we can also look at other factors, like hydrogen, thorium, and other side-factors Not to mention that we're starting to replicate the oil creation process in a way that would actually consume CO2 , via new algae farms (and the latter is something big oil supports, so we won't have any of this scare tactics propaganda working against that one) The future of energy diversity is now, though out-of-the-ground fossil fuels will continue to have a role until their scarcity hits the point where they are cost-prohibitive, though that's still a ways off |
I would actually say that people who claim we will see cost effective and practical renewable energy from solar, wind or biofuels in our lifetime are like the people in the 1960's who envisioned everyone having a flying car by the year 2000.
Realistically, Fusion and Thorium reactors are the practical energy sources of our future and most "Green" energy projects are forms of governmental waste designed to appeal to a very vocal loby while giving kickbacks to the friends of the government who is in power.
