One of the challenges of every politician or leader is that they really have to depend on others the explain the technologies they are talking about. When John McCain talks about embracing all of the technologies to ssolve our energy crisis he will get his information from people that have an agenda.
Someone interested in seeing nuclear grow will tell you all the good things about nuclear. Well here are the bad things. Each plant could take 15 years to complete, the cost needs to be subsidized by either the federal government and our taxes or by the rate payers. Then there is the clean up they no one wants to taalk about. Whose back your do you want to store the spent fuel and nuclear waste for the next several thousands of years while the uranium decays.
Then we here about the clean coal fired power plants. Well clean is relative. Why not embrace a technology where there is zero emmissions. See there is a technology that burns a fuel and it 100% renewable. You do not here about this technology because it would make nuclear and coal power obsolete. It is a Plasma Converter.
Plasma Converters burn the renewable fuel garbage. In the past when we burned garbage we had to add oil or gas to help burn up the garbage. This is not what I am talking about This process raises the temperature of the plasma to the temperature on the sun. Everything that passes through this plasma is molecularly dissociated. The results is hydrogen, process gas,metal slag, a black stone like material that could be ground up and used on our roads but no emmissions.
The is geothermal which is an article by itself, of course solar and wind.
