I place my bets on solar energy and on wind energy. Both are cheap, effective, and produce NO harmful end products. In fact, they're the cleanest options we have, and if we began building up fleets of windmills and solar panels, we could have plenty of energy to live with in a clean, environmentally friendly world. Then we just need to worry about countries who don't want or are unable to raise the bar... like China or India... especially China...

Do you have any links\ facts to backup your first statement.
Or are you just full of the stuff that comes out of the south end of a horse. |

Not quite, jackass.
See my above post. There's some information about nuclear waste and nuclear waste dumping. Rumors also state that the moon has been seen as a possible nuclear waste dump (Google it).
And also note that nuclear power is safe... as long as you don't count on mishaps and mistakes. Chernobyl ring a bell? How about Three-Mile Island? Three-Mile Island was prevented, but if it wasn't stopped in time... it could have been a catastrophe. Chernobyl... well, we all know the story. Mass radioactivity all over the area and sickness from it. Horrible deaths from the radiation, and the crap that remained floating around in the atmosphere long after the event.
Wind power damaging wildlife? Mm, yes. Might we see evidence of damage to wildlife (don't give me any of that "Birds Are Hitting the Fans" crap). Well, if that's the case, move them out into the ocean (and this has been done before, by the way, quite successfully). Not much problem now, now is there? I mean, unless you're concerned about fish and the possibility of them colliding with the beam that descends into the deep. Although, the only problem you're faced with then is the rich complaining that the mills are blocking their view.
And you're right. We shouldn't just dream... we should get off our sodding asses and start focusing less and less on what's going to make us more money and start focusing more and more on what's going to keep the Earth intact for future generations.
My, my. I never knew this forum had so many opinionated little twits on it. Quite the bees, aren't we? Spoil your sweets and we'll be attacked.
