Is it true that Y!Mash will replace Y!360?

Crudel Oil? No! Gas? No! Global Warming-True. What will POWER the world? What will replace OIL?

  • As the power hungry human communnity continues to increase its need for Crude Oil and Natural Gas resources, with an increasing threat by global warming, what do you think will power ...show more

  • Answer:

    Wind annd solar, yes. but also tidal generators--tat technology is almost to the point of being practical. With modern technology, nuclear power is safe--and cheaper than using coal to generate powr. Electriccars are more comparable to gas-driven cars in performance and have adequate range for urban driving. We can--and will--be able to produce far more energy bythese methods than we get from obsolete technologies like coal, oil,and natural gas. Some people keep whining that "enviornmentalists won't let us use nuclear power. That there were concerns about safety in the past is true--and Chernobyl provet those concerns were jstified. But the problems were solved long ago. Wedon't have new nuclear power plants in the US because the fossil fuel industry--NOT environmentalists--are blocking new construction.

You're right that wind and solar will play a role. But, in the short run, we can't do it without nuclear. Especially with vehicles converted to run on electricity and hydrogen made with electricity. We know how to dispose of the waste safely, it's just a political problem to designate a site. Most environmentalists these days support nuclear power, since the risk is much less the the risk of global warming.

renewable energy sources as wind, solar and hydroelectric.

JOHNgrrr

In the short to medium term the answer has to be a mixed strategy comprising: - 1. Development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydroelectric. 2 Nuclear Energy 3 Reduction in demand - probable by making power expensive.

WHatever anyone says, biofuel using palm oil is the worst choice. Just read how it's produced, the countries that lead production in it burn down rain forests FULL of co2 emissions & peat soil which create more pollution than any gas car- People ***** about cars & their toxins, they are NOTHING in comparisons to DIesel truks! Maybe the world should open their eyes to the cause & effect. Science won't fix a problem. We shouldn't assume CORN-ETHANOL is the way to go either, it produces the least amount of gasoline per acre. Right now.... JATROPHA oil is the best, sure it takea few years to grow its fruit seeds for oil BUT it wont create food shortages, it can grow ANYWHERE not only in rain forests like palm oil!!! Not to mention it;s one of the highest oil production per acre of growth. Hope you all read further into "BIOFUEL" when people preach no oil. I'd choose oil over burning down rainforests which release more co2 emission toxins than 10 years of diesel trucks in no stop motion!!! PLUS- I would pick oil over starving the mexicans by taking their corn! :o) STAY JATROPHA... Green is a scam! It's a way for the companies of teh world to appear like they give two shits about the enviroment.

The most convenient and eco friendly fuel in future will be BIO-DIESEL You check the description in below link http://www.biodiesel.org/pdf_files/fuelfactsheets/Co-Processing%20One%20Pager.pdf Also Nuclear means Uranium still and will play a major role in Future. I believe WATER,AIR,SOLAR will play major role in Future when we will end up with the Natural Gas and Oil.

obviously neuclear power, and for some solar energy.

Srinidhi R

solar electricity, hydro electricity and wind energy are the alternatives available for now

confused

it cant be replaced if it is stopped or the production is low .. it is because that everyone is using this daily more than 1lakh tonnes of crude oil is used and theglobal warming is incresing by 0.2 % every day so urs opinion be right but it should be utilised by the people all over the world i feel the world better to be with nature and keep apart the inventions that give harm to human being that live on the earth

Proud to be an INDIAN- Jai hind!

use of alternative sources of energy like solar, hydro, wind we can generate electricity..

knock you out cos i m here!!!!!!
