With any luck, the electricity will come from clean, safe, efficient nuclear power.
Interesting article on Nuclear power.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where to stand on the debate. I do beleive that it's safe enough, and that when done properly can work well (see France for more detail).
But there is a problem... if we switched to all nuclear we'd run out of Uranium pretty quickly... at least I've read so.
Likely the best thing will be a combination of nuclear, solar (wind, wave et. al), biomass and gains in efficiency with transportation and buildings. And nuclear fusion if we can ever get that...
I hear fusion will be here in about 15 years...
