TrueBlue1986: Solar wouldn't be too bad an idea for domestic use, but you are not realistically going to be able to rely on it in any society, anywhere to provide enough power.

Tidal power is one to watch for, and nuclear fission(then hopefully fusion) is the most likely to take over from oil.
Amazing ,can u explain the Tidel Power and Nuclear fussion,can it produce enough power for a country ? handshake wine

good point,i think wind turbine can produce a limited energy ,can it produce for a city ?

No chance with solar

What is best ? subjective

Most efficent the better question?

Nuclear is best by far, but where to dispose spent fuel?

Many new energy plants today are being run of natural gas due to the large gas deposits being dicovered and the new methods of extraction...... horozontal boring in shale rock
check out the futures gas markets on the exchanges and you will discover that gas prices are way down

gas is also a better green energy fuel

you've got to use a combination of em all... Solar, Windmills... An idea I've got is to divert all the water that falls on the roof into a huge bin, and when it's full, release the pin holding it up and drop it slowly while it turns a low gear.

Also, the Germans used pyrolosis to fuel their war machine, since they didn't have oil. They were good at it, and it was better than using petro oil, IMHO.

Pyrolysis is basically combustion of organic matter with a lack of oxygen, but alot of heat. This process releases H2 and CO gas, both which are combustible, and can be piped/burnt in an internal combustion engine.

Go to for more information on pyrolysis.

Coal can be clean, it's all in the skill and design of the apparatus.

Tidal power is underdeveloped, but there are some new designs that are quite promising, it works by placing said designs on top of, or more recently under the surface of the ocean and harnessing the movement of the currents to drive a generator within the design that then produces electricity. Potentially it's more than enough for society, the ocean is the most powerful force on the Earth.

Fission is old now, it uses uranium or plutonium to separate atoms which gives off heat that is captured inside a reactor which then produces electricity. As it requires raw materials though it isn't renewable. There was also a disaster at Chernobyl, Russia in the 80's due to a meltdown, thousands dead, mass increase in cancer rates, birth defects etc.. You really are playing with fire with fission.

Fusion is similar but it smashes atoms together to fuse them into one which gives out a very large amount of power, it doesn't require uranium or plutonium to maintain so it is renewable. The process is also alot safer and easier to stop if something were to start going wrong, unfortunately it is still being developed.
