In my research, I've come across a rather comprehensive site, with a refreshingly realistic outlook...
I'm not completely onside with some of the underpinnings, but maybe some of you could expand upon the foundation abit, or offer some alternate views.

SEE: http://bit.ly/5EANc Here in Ontario, the Power Workers Union has been publicizing their own plan for meeting future energy needs.
They are taking what seems to be a well considered and rationale outloook on Renewables, but I suspect that they'll have to do some serious public educating about nuclear to get everyone on the same page, while they figure out how to present "clean" coal in the best possible light....In order to assure the 'baseload'.

Does the following sound like a reasonable approach to sustainable energy development?

What I would like to see is a viable method to store extra wind and solar energy with either advanced battery technology or hydrogen and fuel cells. This would smooth out the energy disruptions that the homepage talks about.


maybe interesting:
