We have several wind-power generators around Fargo (which is the REAL windy city, not Chicago). -
There's also tidal energy, which is quite feasible at many coastal areas.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Why not just wait for jesus's second coming so that he can turn it into wine?He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

Nuclear Power is clearly the way of the future.
Kind of like jet engines.

OK, enough in-jokes for now.

It isn´t rocket science but it isn´t childs play either. As described in this BBC article quoting a Nature report.Originally posted by Cruddy
A study came out of the US a couple weeks ago showing that the cheapest way to reduce CO2 levels... is plant more trees.
Hardly rocket science, is it?

Algae and sea weed are better. There is a huge volume of water where they can grow.

But they die and decay, releasing their CO2 back into the system.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

The only way to remove the CO2 for good is to turn it into carbonate rocks, that's how nature does it.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

In the US, maybe. In the UK, no. Much of our coast is Scotland, the parts that are very sparsely populated. It's also the windiest part, so probably the best place to put them. Plus there's Scottish mountains inland that give us loads of options with where to put them.Originally posted by Oerdin
Then you aren't thinking very hard. The coastal areas are usually the most densely populated, ergo, the most likely to have people who will be upset about having their views obstructed. Sure, some remote areas exist and wind generators can be built there but that will never produce more then a tiny franction of the needed energy.
If you stopped and thought about it then you'd already know this.
Plenty of places t provide a majority of our energy.Smile

Nuclear waste is only 'waste' because we currently have no use for it. However radioactive substances and unnatural isotopes certainly might have some use in the future. Rather than trying to drop the stuff into subduction zones or otherwise make it totally inaccessable I'd rather it was just stored in dry caves in some exceptionally stable portion of the earths crust and left there until we find uses for it.Comment

We could also chop down the trees and make wooden stuff out of them. That keeps the CO2 locked up a long time as well.Originally posted by

Why do you think chopping down a whole forest gives you 10 shields without so much as a single triangle of pullution
