I wish they would find a way to make electricity from rain. The Netherlands would start making some serious money then  :P

Wish granted . . . sort of   ;D

danny_galaga:
solar hot water is very popular here (actually i think it was invented here, but i could be wrong). in darwin, where im from, our house had a very early hot water system. when we bought the place, the electrical booster was dead. no matter. theres so much sun in darwin that we never bothered fixing it! the only time its really cloudy there (wet season) is also the hottest time of the year so luke warm water for a shower was more than enough   :D

my sister wants to get solar electricity for our house, but id rather wait until she buys my half of the house (which has just been evaluated at $520,000. woot!) and then she can do what she wants  ;D

ChadTower:

How much geothermal power gets harnessed in Australia?  I seem to remember reading it's a good place for that too.

ChadTower:

Just came across this:  electricity via rice plants.  That would sure be useful in China.

paigeoliver:
Nuclear power is the safest, cheapest power source we have that makes real actual power.

Not to mention the fact that they already built the facility to hold about 1000 years worth of the nuclear waste.

Environmentalists will never let that happen.

LMAO.  You, sir, have never been to the Nevada desert.   :laugh2:

Anyway, environmentalists are fully aware that the world is faced with choices, and going without power isn't one of them.  Choosing between a solar farm in the Nevada desert, and a coal plant anywhere, or a dam anywhere, or a nuclear plant anywhere, is an easy choice to make.
