Al Gore will be happy.

I on the other hand, am waiting for more Nuclear power plants. Cleanest energy known to man. What are we waiting for?

>>What are we waiting for?

Politicans with the balls to tackle the energy problem - voters who want an energy plan.

People to wake up and realize that techology has vastly improved over the decades.

Judging by the cars people drive, gas is still way too cheap.

I suspect not.

Hey MacMan, you ready with your comprehensive nuclear waste disposal plan yet?







I thought not.

Its better than the one for coal - pump it into the atmosphere.

This just in...hydrogen is not an energy source. It does not exist in the kind of quantities where it can be considered an energy source. The only significant hydrogen production in the US comes from oil and gas....D'oh!

Oh, by the way, this just in too...uranium does not exist in sufficient quantities such that nuclear power could constitute a significant fraction of world (or even US) energy demand.

You naysaysers don't even know what you're naysaying about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power

available reserves would last for 50 years at the present rate of use. Doubling the price of uranium, which would have only little effect on the overall cost of nuclear power, would increase reserves to hundreds of years. To put this in perspective; a doubling in the cost of natural uranium would increase the total cost of nuclear power 5 per cent. On the other hand, if the price of natural gas was doubled, the cost of gas-fired power would increase by about 60 per cent.

...

As opposed to current light water reactors which use uranium-235 (0.7% of all natural uranium), fast breeder reactors use uranium-238 (99.3% of all natural uranium). It has been estimated that there is anywhere from 10,000 to five billion years worth of uranium-238 for use in these power plants [20]

What about wind? I heard that wind power can sustain about 20%-25% of the nation's energy demands. That's certainly a lot of power for free.

Then there is ocean wave power...which is supposed to be enormous, but daunting technologically.

I'm just glad people are talking about alternative fuels. If we can keep this discussion going (and not go back to sleep the way we did in the 70s), there might just be a chance to save our hides.

Al Gore might be the current messenger, but George Carlin was there YEARS ago. Google "Save the Humans Carlin" if you don't believe me.
