Economy 53,162 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Doing a bit of reading... it is quite unlikely to happen, just another hype from the media.theres many angles to look at... But personally, even if it fails to become as efficient as they hope, theres also the fact that long term fossils will become more and more expensive Cheap oil is virtually exhausted. Practically the only remaining cheap liquid oil is in Middle East and a few other reserves here and there... While theres LOTS of oil left, potentially for centries more, most of new recoverable reserves are in unconventional forms auch as oil sands or shale rock formations which are much more expensive to extract Many expect oil prices to go well above $150/barrel by 2020 (unless economy stays chronically ill and fails to recover) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaDragon 10 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hmmm i believe there is still a while till it can be become widespread but hey progress is good and much needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 53,162 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Because there are physical limits to efficiency and distribution using solar cells. While limits have been predicted and surpassed previously, these are not within 35 years of current technology. :P I believe it is substantially more likely that there will be a development in nuclear energy. theres lots of things that we achieved that 35 years ago wed say was impossible. Humans underestimate themselves over and over again But u do have a point with the nuclear thing. Solar may improve but so will other forms of energy, so taking that into account, the competition may still be there Also i guess depends where... For instance where i live in Canada, our hours of sunlight in the winter months are rather short making solar bad for this region no matter how efficient it gets Nuclear is actually 51% of our power in my Province (Ontario), Hydro-Electricity from dams is 2nd place and i think natural gas is 3rd... Solar is only 4th or 5th Hmmm i believe there is still a while till it can be become widespread but hey progress is good and much needed.there is. But were talking about the future here. Not now this second Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 One thing they can do to help efficiency also, is to let chickens run around the mirror reflectors during the day... They won't have to cook them for dinner because of all the fried birds. 8-) like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo cupcakke 4,781 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well I know in Germany solar energy is like the thing. When I visited the country, many of the houses from Munich to Heidelberg to Dresden to Berlin had solar panels facing south like one big energy safe mob. I hope the States let this catch on as well. We need to catch up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonna Lee 384 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thank God, about time we put our **** together to source energy in an earth and economically friendly way i like it when u treat me mean it turns my mood from black to blue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzily 14,574 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm looking forward to that. I like your new avi by the way :) Inside my head I have the best time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 53,162 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS **** oil i think more energy comes from natural gas and coal. Oil although used a bit for electricity too, isnt one of the main uses of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
