4. More solar energy

Why?

Answer 1

fossil fuel is non-renewable energy so it is the worst because it causes more pollution

nuclear energy is the advanced but expensive, so useful in rich country only. Also it bring radiation hazard sometimes.

so the combination of wind and solar energy which are perpetual source and never causes pollution is the best.

Answer 2

Solar Energy would be the right choice for today's world.

Reason :

1. Commercially speaking, that the cheapest, with less maintenance.

2. In terms of energy, the more you consume solar energy, the less the green house effect.(Second biggest concern of the world)

Answer 3

Until we put in new power lines to handle large amounts of energy, than I would go with all of the above.  Until one is truly matured than they all need to be developed.  

By the way you have some great articles on your site.

Answer 4

I'd go with wind energy and solar energy.

Answer 5

we shall use more tidal energy

Answer 6

Give me solar any time.It is god given and not wasteful.We will continue to use this energy for millions of years to come.Other source of energy deplete the earth of its content and pollute the atmosphere.The wind energy cannot be relied on but it is good and safe but not as good as solar.Fossil fuel is almost depleting and the earth will soon be devoid of its content and environmentally bad..

Answer 7

1. More nuclear

Answer 8

More nuclear.

Massive amounts of energy available for base load, clean, plentiful, and safe.

Answer 9

More nuclear energy.

reason: it provide max energy simple example is sun..who is providing our whole solar systen the energy from milliions of year and will provide to million of years to come...

Answer 10

I would have to say a more solar and wind. My main consideration is I would like my great grand children to be able to breath and no have to worry about nuclear fall out from the long term storage of the spent fuel rods.

Answer 11

Solar.

Answer 12

I'll go with 1.

Fossil fuel burning emits CO2 which is unacceptable to those of us who don't want another Venus in the solar system.  Whilst it may be possible to store the CO2 from fossil fuel burnings doing so is likely to be very expensive.

Wind and Solar have never been able to provide more than token amounts of power for any country and appear unable to do so without some massive technological improvements that we shouldn't count on happening, even then the economics are likely to be highly marginal given the need to pay for the energy storage system (typically left out of cost projections) and the need for sufficient overcapacity to charge it (also left out of cost projections).

Nuclear has been proven to be reliable, safe and to have the scalability that we need, it's also the cheapest low-emissions technology which is important when you have only a limited amount of money to spend on solving global warming (the case at present).

Answer 13

biofuel and biomass
