Comments on: Should we start looking for an alternative energy source in this decade? http://www.energy--talk.com/alternative-energy/should-we-start-looking-for-an-alternative-energy-source-in-this-decade/64/ How Can We Be More Energy Efficient?

Drive smaller vehicles, live in smaller well insulated homes, turn off lights when not in use. There are people looking for alternative sources like:
Geothermal (heat and electricity)
Fuel Cells (electricity)
Nuclear fission (steam, heat and electricity)
Solar (Hot water and electricity)
Wind (electric)
Hydro (electric)
fusion (electric)
Hydrogen (electric and transportation)
Biodiesel (transportation and electric)
Wood (heat)

There is also the flip side that we need to practice conservation when at all possible. Drive smaller vehicles, live in smaller well insulated homes, turn off lights when not in use.

As far as what it should be I think solar. Do you have any idea the amount of solar radiation hits the earth a day? Check out wikipedia they have pretty good articles for this kind of thing.

This would help farmers out and theyd be in business forever. I think we should invest in the use of the oil from corn. This would help farmers out and theyd be in business forever.

We have started.....Whoever discovers the next viable energy source will have great wealth and power. Don't you think that has motivated some great minds? should we start?

Some people think it's already too late. For one thing, finding anything that is capable of providing the same amount of energy as easily as petroleum ... is doubtful at best. Additionally, the only way we're going to make these discoveries is if we make them BEFORE we run out of oil. Remember, oil is not just for energy. Most everything we use is made by using oil ... like plastics. Best source: solar. We should all have solar cells on our roofs, provided by the federal government. We should have started decades AGO.

Solar is expenvise, wind is not egonh, and nulcear energy produces toxic waste. No, what energy source would we use. Solar is expenvise, wind is not egonh, and nulcear energy produces toxic waste.

By the time we hit the projected Olduvai Plateau in 2012, it will be too late. We should start working now so we can perfect the concept of cold fusion. Fossil fuels are rapidly depleting.

That would be real reusing and recycling. yes, we should start contemplating on using water or maybe something that we have more of on this earth…like trash.
