solar, fusion, etc.I still think solar energy is the ultimate solution. Both the coal-burning (acid rain, greenhouse emissons) and nuclear technolgies (waste and spent fuel is rapidly accumulating and stays "hot" for up to
30,000 years, so nobody wants it near them) have too many short-term and long-term problems to be continued indefinitely
in their present state. That's not discounting the development of new technologies to counteract or eliminate the harmful effects produced by these operations. Solar is cheap, plentiful, reliable, and seemingly endless (well, until the sun novas, anyway
). They already had solar cell cars 15 years ago...what happened?
Cold fusion could still be a hope...and hopefully the solution if doable. But Clinton killed the SuperCollider Project with one of his last budgets. I'm hoping there's still some clandestine research still underway on this, perhaps in technologically advanced countries like Russia, Japan, Germany, Britain, or even China. But if not, fusion may now be hundreds of years off.
