As I always say in these topics, nuclear fusion. It's cheap, clean, risk-free and renewable, but the downside is we're still working on it. See ITER.
I'm pro- nuclear fission as long as it is a temporary measure until fusion works. Also, why is it listed as renewable? Uranium supplies are about as limited as coal.

Nuclear is not renewable.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Nuclear power is dangerous??? This is news to me. Nuclear fission incidents are extremely rare and the devastation is often over-sensationalised. Besides, nuclear fusion is exteremly safe and the only output is Helium I believe. That is the future of nuclear power and it how future energy may work. Now getting back to the topic... My Dad is head of Research and Development for one of the UKs largest construction companies. He has to know about renewable energy. He reckons that thundreds of solutions exist and some of the good ones don't publised as much which is a shame. But there are some exciting ones about. There is a green individual generator for houses that is pretty cool. Personally I would go for solar towers, there is a lot of fuss right ow about them and rightly so. Each solar tower can power 10,000 homes and the terrain they are built on (typically desert) is waste land, which is good. The idea is to place an array of mirrors around a tower and reflect the light to a point at the top of the tower where water is heated and the resulting steam drives a turbine.
Also, in Focus (British science journal) this month it did mention this technology and also mentioned large wind turbines that in theory could produce masses of energy. basically they are ten times the size of normal ones and sit out at sea. |
this, ofcourse it works in Spain (where the worlds largest solar tower has been built) and Australia.
England, look at portugal with their wave energy technology and wind can basically go anywhere.
Believe me when i say this, the money will be made in batteries. Look at where Buffett invested when the first electric car got launched in China. Storing the energy generated from all of these technologies, in order to ensure base load power supplies, will be incredibly valuable.
btw, GM is filling for bankruptcy. Goodluck to other petrol car companies.
