The end of the world is nigh (well our world)

There is enough oil under Alaska to sustain the worlds oil useage for 100 years...don't you know.

The yanks would rather just steal someone else's first, before they dig up their own beautiful wilderness.

tbh nuclear is the way forward

indeed, but im more of a chemial warfare man tbh

Nuclear is not in my very humble opinion the answer. It's a dirty fuel with far too many drawbacks and hazards. How do you justify the non proliferation to a developing country when it's your main power source!?!. The answer has to be geothermal as it's totally free and totally clean.
Where do you store and very importantly secure the spent nuclear fuel? I know that I don’t want it anywhere bl00dy near me! Small quantity of waste goes missing and attached to a conventional bomb….well you can guess the outcome, it’s not going to be pretty.

Just wait until you're all f**ked and I'm Mad Max.

Electricity is made using coal. Coal is extracted by machines, which run on fuels made from oil. These machines have plastic parts, made from oil. The coal is transported in trucks, which run on fuel made from oil. Oil is gonna be in the chain somewhere.

Bit simplistic, but correct as far as I can see.

Hydroelectricity
Wind turbines - produce electricity
Wave power can be harnessed to produce electricity
Solar panels.

Unfortunately your wrong on that one. Makes a change i know. But yes your right somewhere along the line oil is involved. The only thing possible is that we produce enough electricity producing instruments before the oil runs out, if we dont then your argument stands.

Its a kinda catch 22 situation.

And to those saying geothermal - thats brilliant - if your in an area where geothermal activity takes place - which lets face it - unless you drill far enough down (pretty dam hard and stupidly expensive) is in very few areas.

Finally someone said it...In 100 years all of us on the forums will be dead, or bordering on it anyway so who cares?

Yes, but aren't they all utterly sh*t and inefficient?

We have to build these things, transport these things.... I can't see how air travel is going to work, solar powered planes just aren't going to cut it.

Still, I'm working on a paedophile/asylum seeker powered engine that you are all welcome to buy shares in.

no some are quite good, most people's roof tops solar panels cut there electric by something like 79% or something stupid

and a small turbins cut your electricity bill by the 16% , not totally sure about the percentages, but tbh the solar panels are only that god if you have a rof that gets lots of heat on it

 

[Big Mac]

hydroelectricity is stupidly efficient as well... It just needs to be harnessed properly.
