Governments around the world - including all jurisdictions in Canada - are looking at the same options:<br />1. Solar/Wind/Wave (green) technology: can't bring the necessary overall capacity and can't match the ebbs and flows of peak and low demands cycles.<br />2. Hydro technology: almost all rivers are tapped to their maximum amount. Facing the ceiling of their use right now.<br />3. GeoThermal technology: sure, sounds really cool but, it is location specific for maxium efficiency and very costly to set up. Still, it should be something governments look into.<br />4. Nuclear: a constant source of electicity with little CO2 emissions. The cons are storage of spent fuel rods but, in the end, the only viable source of energy given our immediate technological sophistication. I think this is why many jurisdictions are going with nuclear.Herbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848903631943588386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-19021970037216193152009-05-29T04:27:23.858-07:002009-05-29T04:27:23.858-07:00The world is floating on oceans of oil, the albert...The world is floating on oceans of oil, the alberta oilsands have over seven hundred years of production capacity. Battery powerd vehicles present their own problems. The earth is cooling yet they carry on. Why? because they are all nut's thats why.How is it possible for sixty percent of the population to be nut's, that is the real question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
