Re: Renewable Energy
Alas, it agrees with me, too. That it's up, that is.

Re: Renewable Energy
Way to type "/google.com" at the end of it.
So, any cool technology you guys have seen lately?
What's that one where it draws electrons out of water to use as electricity? I've seen it powering an alarm clock. Just pour water in and it's powered.
Anyone using any renewable energy sources in their homes?

Re: Renewable Energy
I heard about a car that uses hydrogen as it's fuel. Because the engine is basically powered by hydrogen reacting with oxygen, the only emissions are water. I might have forgotten bits about how the engine actually works, but water being the only emission was the big thing.

Re: Renewable Energy
If we had a car powered by how awesome M. Bison is, I'm pretty sure all our problems would be solved.

And there you have it, folks.
The ultimate renewable energy.

It would be extremely cheap, then.

An average Nuclear Power Plant produces 3 Cubic Meters of waste a year.
But if I must, Stirling Engines, Wind Power, Geo-thermal, and Solar Panels are also high on my list, even though the world isn't running out of oil, or plutonium, and we aren't going to drown in global warming (because it doesn't exist).
When we perfect Fusion (Hot or cold (preferably cold)), then I will firmly support that. See: Zalo. Nuclear is a massively underrated means of producing energy that's been blacklisted by the media despite being safer than most other energy means. Wind and solar are good ideas, but limited by the cost to set them up. Geothermal would be nice if we didn't have to tunnel five miles in certain areas. Fusion will be perfect whenever it happens, but that's probably a while off still.

Re: Renewable Energy
heh i wrote many an essay on nuclear power. its great its useful, and if we use fission now it should last us till we have fusion, or antimatter becomes useful other than killing the planet. also i believe antimatter will be the spaceship fuel of tomarrow.

Re: Renewable Energy
My thoughts on all energy sources, in no particular order.
Coal : Wasteful, and causes pollution. Do not use Oil : Second verse, same as the first. Nuclear power : In-efficient in its present state. We cause nuclear reactions to... boil water for a turbine. No. Solar power : In its present state, no, its in-efficient. In the form of a solar net in space, fudge yes. Hydro-power: Useful, but is not a constant. Requires vast resources, for little result. No Tidal power : Doesn't work, more energy is required to start, than what is gained. No. Geothermal power : Perfect power source, assuming there is never an earthquake. Maybe. Wind Energy: Only good in the plains. Did you know that in wind energy capturing, the electric company purposely waste +60% of the energy by adding breaks to prevent the fans from getting +X RPMs, simply to not 'over-produce'?
Tesla's Lightning capture (Huge lightning rod that captures the current in the clouds) 100% useful, all specific information, blueprints, and working models, destroyed and/or classified by the US Government, because they don't want free energy.
Magnet wheels: used in science fiction, consists of a wheel of magnets, inside another wheel of magnets, that oppose and repel, making the inner wheel spin. The inner wheel will achieve the terminal velocity of the environment it is in, In a vacuum, with no-resistance, would approach the speed of light. feasible to start, output would only rise, unfortunately, If it goes to fast, it would burn out all wires, and, once started, it could not be stopped, without devastation. My preferred energy source.

No.Guess what this is how most power stations work, burning a material to heat water, make steam, turn turbine Solar power : In its present state, no, its in-efficient.

Tidal power : Doesn't work, more energy is required to start, than what is gained. No. Because tides run out before they pay for the power station Geothermal power : Perfect power source, assuming there is never an earthquake. Maybe.Because it's no problem at all to drill down 5 miles anywhere where power is needed Wind Energy: Only good in the plains. Did you know that in wind energy capturing, the electric company purposely waste +60% of the energy by adding breaks to prevent the fans from getting +X RPMs, simply to not 'over-produce'?Why the actual ♥♥♥♥ would they waste power when they are still producing below demand.
Tesla's Lightning capture (Huge lightning rod that captures the current in the clouds) 100% useful, all specific information, blueprints, and working models, destroyed and/or classified by the US Government, because they don't want free energy.METAL POLE. Also where do you get your constant course of lighting from?

My preferred energy source.You prefer something that risky? Also how do we bring this energy down from space?

I think they add those to stop this from happening. Wouldn't be a problem if we could use stronger materials.

Giant spinning wheel of magnetic doom. It would be double cool if it produced electromagnetic turbulence in the visible spectrum.

Re: Renewable Energy
What about the toxic pig waste that would result? You'd have to shoot that into the Sun or some other star to safely dispose of it, and I don't think we have any giant novelty cannons laying around that you could use. More seriously, nuclear power is often tarnished by claims like it being related to nuclear weapons or the Chernobyl incident, which is funny because nuclear power and nuclear weapons are quite different save for the raw materials they both use, and Chernobyl was more human error (damn Commies..) than the plant itself.
