Wind power is a pipe dream. Good that my country has started to look place for sixth nuclear power plant. Huge amount of clean energy!
Windmills destroy wild habitat. Odd that oraganisation what uses word "green" in it's name wants to destroy planet.
How much money GP gets from oil and coal companies?

There is slight problem with their plans. Renewable energy sources are very weather and location dependent. Without some cheap large scale energy storage systems they are not going to deliver energy reliably. In Germany there are wind turbines everywhere and they get only few percent of total electricity from wind. It`s practically impossible to phase out both - fossil and nuclear energy. If we are going to replace gasoline cars with electric cars demand for electricity will increase even more.

environmentals ... half of the information given isnt even true... 500 wind turbines dont even get close to making the energy of a NPP. In germany they have a lot more wind turbines than anywhere else, and its not even three percent of the energy needed. And if the wind isnt going they have to buy nuclear energy from france. The only solution would be making water turbines in rivers, but then the same environmentals (yes they are mental) go against that. DONT LET YOURSELF BE BIASED BY THIS

The thing is though, we all know that renewables are the future - they're clean, free, safe energy. The question we should be asking though is - can we achieve our emissions reductions targets (2020, 2030, 2050) in time by using solely renewable energy? In this clip they say the time money spent on building new reactors would be better spent on developing renewable energy sources. KEYWORD - 'developing'. You still have to build them afterward - and that's going to take even more time.

lol - at 3:37 - that's fucking hilarious! They think you can replace an entire nuclear power plant with just 3 wind turbines. God they're stupid.

The first solution will not be given it has to be developed by individuals to show we won't be a slave to power. Pushing for local windturbines or sunpanels is not useless.

"Fear is for pussies" - maybe, but blind optimism in the face of real dangers is for pricks - and investment bankers. Fortunately we've just blown so much dosh bailing out the banking system there ain't going to be much appetite for the astonishingly high clean-up costs (£75 billion and rising in the UK when I last looked) and other risks associated with nuclear. And when we could produce the same amount of power for a fraction of the cost using industrial CHP, why would we want to bother?

There is alot people living in earth Planet at the moment, there is going to be increased every year, so? what chance do you have needing more food? with more crazy people around? and how can you control all that people?

Nukes,nukes,nukes,nukes. We don't need any solar,windmills,new age contraption for electricity. If were going to waste energy on anything it should be on nukes. Plenty of uranium and water on this planet for billions of years. Fear is for pussies. The energy is as clean as pure water.

All Volcanos... 15 Million tons of CO2 PA
Mankind........ 26 BILLION tons of CO2 PA
(most of that from dirty coal power stations)
Time to stop burning COAL.. especially that dirty cheap stuff from... now where does that come from papcio?! |
