that is good, next step is finding something besides coal to make electricity

if it is done right, hydroelectic can be very good. currently, I beleve wind is the cheapest energy source.

Hydroelectricity is certainly good emission-wise but building dams causes damage in other ways.
wind turbines are air friendly but they are a blight on the landscape
Nuclear power comes with its own dangers.
Solar panels where I live would be effective, but not so much to the north.
Until we can find an effective alternative power solution then we need to make sure that the most up to date tech. is used to keep our present polution to the minimum.
Re: cleaner air 1.... Bush 0
I'm not sure what the cheapest is, honestly. Most of the electricity generated here (and sold to various states...California <_<) is hydroelectric.

Re: cleaner air 1.... Bush 0
I'd love to get solar panels but not until I do my additions to the house (or Iif I'm even gonna stay here).
I heard they are expensive as well.

they are. cost/electical output ratio is really bad. in some areas they make a lot of sense (a friend of mine has them because he is off the power grid, but most of his power still comes from a wind turbine) on the grand scale, I beleve a solar furnace is pretty efficent.

In the UK we are experimenting with Tidal Power
Obviously, it's a younger technology that wind or solar panels, but if researched, it would be clearly more dependable than the other two. If there's one thing that's predictable, it's the tides. Unlike the weather :dabs:
