I know wind turbines are unreliable and inefficient, but wave power and solar power will always be avaiable, and should be used once oil, gas runs outs. They are expensive to start up, but in the long run they are cheap to run. More nuclear power stations should be built.Lefties moan that they could blow up, unlikely this is'nt USSR! |
The problem is - wave and solar power (like wind power) don't deliver a stable supply of electricity for 24 hours a day. Solar power, obviously, doesn't work at night.
The only answer is nuclear. Or energy from power stations which would operate by burning waste (instead of coal and/or gas which will run out one day). The EU hates such power stations (because it claims that emit carbon emissions) but there is so much rubbish in the world - a huge number of power stations could operate around the globe on burning the billions of rubbish bags we throw out every week in all the industrialised nations.
The solutions to a potential energy crisis are probably readily available - only the EU stands in the way of solving many of these problems.
