I think that Australia should resort to nuclear power.

Some people believe that nuclear power is dangerous because of the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl.

There was only an accident though because it%26#039;s a third world country and the workers weren%26#039;t being safe enough.

Now that we know better, and because Australia isnt a third world country, it should be completely safe.

Using coal and stuff right now is breaking down our ozone layer.
We need to convert soon.

I also believe that solar power is really good. As long as we get it improved and more advanced, it sould be a good replacement. 0% 0 Votes

Well, we also have a large hydro-electric scheme.. you seem to have overlooked.

We have some wind farms too, although we could do with many more.

Solar is increasingly popular at a domestic level... for $30,000 you can power up your home when it is sunny and sell the excess you generate back to the grid so that you can draw on the grid when the sun isn%26#039;t shining.

There is a wave action electricity generator being trialed in Wollongong... that relies on the tidal variation to turn a turbine and generate power...

And then there is coal.. we have an abundance of natural resources per capita and that industry can be technologically cleaner......

And then there is natural gas to gernerate electricity... its a finite resource but also in abundance...

Of course we have probably the biggest uranium resouces in teh whole world... so nuclear power is most likely in our immediate future. ....

I think we should continue the diversity of energy sources rather than reliance upon one because where one lacks, i.e. when the sun isnt shining.. the wind is blowing.... it just makes sense to diversify an manage resources. 0% 0 Votes

The bi-products of a nucleur rod can be deadly for FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS!

Also Kenzie, Nucleur power plants kill our environment also.

I bleieve Solar Power is the way to go but soon our world will run out of sources of energy 0% 0 Votes
