Mr. Not Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Anyone else been keeping up with this story? Living in California, I have, and it's not looking good at all.. And my teacher last period informed us that we really don't have a good plan to keep the plants under control, but Germany shut them (their plants) down because of protesting..

Let's see, there's hydroelectric but there are environmental and safety issues with building dams, also there's only so many rivers left to dam. There's wind, but there's environmental and aesthetic concerns there as well and it's not capable of providing a huge percentage of our energy. There's geothermal, but that's cost prohibitive and there are also environmental concerns. There's solar but solar isn't efficient enough. All of those are worth pursuing but all are limited in some way and can't produce enough energy to replace coal burning plants to supply our energy needs.

There are alot of new creative wind and solar projects, along with biofuels that will end up being self sustaining electric sources but our government has been fighting them and giving price supports to oil and coal to make them cheaper. These companies really only want a level playing field. In any case it is a pretty complicated problem but investing in science and R & D would be the prudent thing. Currently China outspends us by hundreds of billions of dollars on green energy though they have a third of our GDP. Why do you think that is?

So will you. If you are so concerned about 'educating', look up the area affected by Chernobyl...It is pretty fukkin big, but nothing more than a mole on the body of the Earth. Or stay home and keep looking out the shutters. Just to clear something up, I never said that it would destroy the planet but I did say that it could a devastating effect on it. I'll admit devastating might have been an overreaction and you are right, the world is very big place! I just get worried about what this planet is going to be like in another fifty years. Things like this combined with the other pollutants that we are constantly putting into the air, land and water are not good for the planet. Small animals are turning up dead in large numbers all over the world. This and many other warning signs should be telling us that pollution is effecting the planet in very negative ways and one day it might be too late to undo. I wonder how we could produce less pollution? You're right! It's impossible! Well, we could stop using energy. But some of us like to use energy to grow food and produce goods like our clothing along with transportation, heating, and a million other uses. So if you live naked in a cave and eat nuts and berries that you find growing naturally then I suppose you can complain, but if you use energy in some way, then it would be wise to think of ways to produce energy with less pollution. Maybe there are some sources of energy that don't produce carbon emissions. Let's see, there's hydroelectric but there are environmental and safety issues with building dams, also there's only so many rivers left to dam. There's wind, but there's environmental and aesthetic concerns there as well and it's not capable of providing a huge percentage of our energy. There's geothermal, but that's cost prohibitive and there are also environmental concerns. There's solar but solar isn't efficient enough. All of those are worth pursuing but all are limited in some way and can't produce enough energy to replace coal burning plants to supply our energy needs. What other form of energy could we use that doesn't produce greenhouse gasses? Mmmmm... There are alot of new creative wind and solar projects, along with biofuels that will end up being self sustaining electric sources but our government has been fighting them and giving price supports to oil and coal to make them cheaper. These companies really only want a level playing field. In any case it is a pretty complicated problem but investing in science and R & D would be the prudent thing. Currently China outspends us by hundreds of billions of dollars on green energy though they have a third of our GDP. Why do you think that is? Things can only change if "How much profit we can make?" is not the number one concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
