What is the best energy resource? i know there lots of debates about the best energy resource but what do u think is the best and why? i need some opinons so help!

Best Answer

For what it%26#039;s worth, here is my contribution and don%26#039;t laugh, like when I told my work colleagues over dinner one evening.
You know the Garden Solar Lights we stick out. Guessed it yet? No, well they light up at night don%26#039;t they, and what I do is bring in a couple of them into the hall and in the lounge as I watch telly. Very relaxing, no tripping over wires, very good security .. and best of all it%26#039;s FREE. I am now called Florence Nightengale!!!!
Try it tonight (big savings on bulbs)
Any other tips i am willing to oblige as I was once an energy effiency advisor!

• I think solar power is the best energy resource. Its intial cost is expensive, but think of how much money would be saved in the long term!
• The sun,And i don%26#039;t mean the newspaper.
• Solar power is next to useless - we don%26#039;t have the means to convert enough of it, effeciently enough. And, what few people realise is that if you use up a lot of the solar energy as it comes to earth, it doesn%26#039;t heat up the planet during the day and it will be very cold at night.
  
  Wind power in unreliable - so it%26#039;s not viable as a permanent solution.
  
  Gas, coal and oil are no good as we can%26#039;t keep producing CO2.
  
  So the only %26#039;clean%26#039; option we have left is nuclear. It%26#039;s not perfect (especially if things go wrong), but until someone works out %26quot;cold fusion%26quot;, it%26#039;s all we%26#039;ve got....
• Solar, wind and wave power.
  Its clean, sustainable and renewable and unlike nuclear will not leave major clean up bills and problems for thousands of years.
• There is no best energy source. That is why we still use many different sources. Gasoline is not used to generate electricity because diesel or natural gas or even coal is better. Coal is not used to run cars because gasoline is better. Nuclear and solar and wind and falling water are all used to generate electricity but each has advantages and disadvantages.
  
  The problem I see here on this form so often is the people are over simplifying. They are saying that if we just embraced their one favorite energy source all our problems would be solved. That is simply not true. Solar panels are good when small amounts of power are needed in a remote location far from power lines, but are no use for powering a steel mill. Nuclear power can produce lots of power but is expensive and clumsy and politically unpopular. Coal is cheap and abundant but dirty. Natural gas is clean but hard to transport and there is not enough of it. And on and on. Each energy source has advantages and drawbacks.
• I think one day solar power will be very cheap to make. It takes time and mass scale production.
  
  One day grass or yard waste can be used at cheap prices to produce energy. It takes time to invent new tecnologies.
  
  Imagine if this world is not 90% believers and all are atheists? This world would have a combined intelligent minds to do almost anything.
  
  Nothing will hold the human mind back. Imagine that just for a second but reality is 90% believes in superstitions.
• I watched a show on discovery channel a few month ago in which they discussed various renewable power sources. They pointed out that covering 10% of the state of Nevada (BTW 80% of Nevada%26#039;s land area is owned by the federal govenment) with solar panels would create enough energy for the entire US to consume (with the exception of fossil fuel based vehicle like your car).
  
  They also discussed using the undercurrents of the ocean in much the same way windmills work. The currents under the ocean move all the time. The motion of the currents can be harvested for electricity. (I like this one because unlike the wind turbines that you can see, underwater turbines would not be seen)
  
  The Netherlands gets 90% of it%26#039;s power from geothermic sources (The volcanic activity underground). They use pumps to push water underground to the volcanic activity to super heat the water. The pressure from the steam can be turned into electricity.
  
  In several area of the country, GE has established Wind based power plants, renting land area from farmers. They have the ability to harness a lot of energy from wind based sources.

  let me start off by saying Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy. I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago. Have converted over 50 vehicles in the last 10 years (gydrogen and EV) and now currently run 2 trucks (and another EV), my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel. I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.
  
  There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I%26#039;ll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com
