I am no expert in energy issue but really keen to learn & understand
more from this group.

There has been many discussions on various kinds of energy sources,
for example solar, wind, bio.

Which one kind do you think we should spend more research & resources
on?

Why not alternative types?


Ah, a poll!

I say nuclear is most important to get started on asap, because that's
what gives most bang for the bucks quickest, and we are sort of in a
hurry now, what with the oil running out and all. But since building
nuclear power plants is only done on large scale, there are
opportunities for smaller companies to harvest wind and solar, too.

I'd say hydro, too, but I have a feeling that we're already getting
almost as much power from hydro plants as is practically possible.
