Pick your favourite choice to power up the World. I choose nuclear power.

Renewables all the way!

Meyer · « **Reply #2 on:** October 06, 2007, 01:31:34 PM »

they would be fine but they are expensive and give little power compared to nuclear.

Slornie · « **Reply #3 on:** October 06, 2007, 01:32:46 PM »

It depends on the specifics of the renewable source. And nuclear power is just as expensive.

I say Renewable because whats the point of wasting a resource that can only be used once and only once.

Fusion Power

Meyer · « **Reply #7 on:** October 06, 2007, 03:21:48 PM »

yep. fusion power is the real savior of Earth. not renewable sources. but fusion power is, in a certain point of view, a renewable itself. but it still uses nuclear technology.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:12:08 PM »

Except the complete opposite of the current way, so its like accident invincible or something

And yes, it is renewable, i think they gonna use just helium or hydrogen, which basically means we will never run out

Meyer · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:35:41 PM »

isn't the only thing required water? and yes you can't run out of that.

your not think of heavy water are you(heavy water has more hydrogen i think o.0)

Meyer · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:39:44 PM »

no I ment regular water. that think that comes from skies when it rains. At least in my school our teacher said that it is the only thing needed for fusion power.

Slornie · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:45:31 PM »

But until they get it sussed (which could be years, if not decades), we will need to use renewables if we arent to run out of fuel or wind up destroying our planet through pollution..

Meyer · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:46:06 PM »

nuclear is much more effcient.

No he means heavy water, heavy water is that stuff that is like water but has more hydrogen, the stuff that was said is used to in making power from fusion, and dont start being a smart arse i know what rain is i live in England.

Slornie · « **Reply #15 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:48:34 PM »

What is it with everyone and complaining about the rain in England?? It isnt all that bad $:-\$

Meyer · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:48:49 PM »

and whose fault is that? but no my teacher was very specific that it only needs normal water. Unless sea water is heavy water. because she said that "seas are full of water to use". And I personally like rain. it freshess the air.

its taken from the sea, you could say mined from the sea. Use Wikipedia it should explain to you more then I could.

Meyer · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2007, 05:52:38 PM »

but the water in sea ain't heavy water unitl processed. it's just regular water with lots of salt in it.
