Solar especially is making great gains though. It's much more efficient than it was 10, 5 years ago. I think the promise for solar as well is having it spread out more. Rooftops of homes with excess power being sold back to the grid (and taken off your energy bill) etc.

As well as building big new sources of power I think we shouldn't underestimate the small improvements we can make by making all devices more energy efficient and recapturing wasted energy in cars, on roads, from the sun and so on.



Japan is a good argument for nuclear power IMO. That was a plant with older technology which got hit by quite a lot of things nature can throw at you, earthquakes and tsunamis, and the damage whilst bad wasn't a catastrophe. We can build safer ones now that won't be hit by such things.
So the answer to environmental disaster is to build a number of potential environmental disasters to generate power for environmentally safe cars .
i'm off to the petrol station to fill up the car it runs on things that already dead .
