“Exterminate the humans.”

@Xidphel  
There’s also deforestation, pollution of the land, oceans, and air, fracking, horrifyingly mishandled wildlife management, human overpopulation, and mining, just to name a few.  
All of these are also happening on a global scale, and many of them are contributing to the general problem of climate change.

@Ridley Wolf  
Um… usually, when an issue has “Global” in it’s name, I’d put it high in the priority list.

@Whatevs  
Human-created global warming is real.  
The facts are easy to find, but I’m too lazy to bother searching and posting links.
 
That said, quite a bit of the “science” on both sides of the issue is utter bullshit, heavily biased in favor of whichever side is funding it.
 
Honestly, there are more important environmental issues to worry about than global warming.

The Navy jas had no nuclear incidents. Just sayin’.
 
Also, I have no kept up to date on GW science but isn’t it kind of a politically motivated crock?  
Then again, I moved in after an Inconvenient Truth was shown to be a disingenuous work.
 
So update me

@Xidphel  
Or Rarity used necessary actions to stop as much.

So SB tore a house in half by pouring a bowl of cereal and mayojar decides to add nuclear power to the mix because reasons.

Of course, the obvious solution is for people to stop breeding like f**king rabbits, rely less on electricity, and stop letting multinational corporations control energy production.

Biogas is basically the end product of biomass production. While it does cause pollution, it is still cleaner than fossil fuels. It’s easily the worst of the alternatives, and could be even more harmful than nuclear if not managed properly.  
Solar panels can be replaced and recycled. While expensive now, mass production and improved production techniques would eventually drive costs down.  
Wind energy is practical for some areas, and further research would certainly lead to improved efficiency.  
Hydroelectric, as you said, is only effective in certain areas. Not much to be said either way about that.  
Geothermal has risks, but is still a viable alternative to nuclear. At the very least, it’s worth further research.  
Hydrogen, while currently expensive and dangerous, would like benefit from advances in storage and production methods, becoming cheaper and safer.
 
As for the thing about fusion reaction burning away the atmosphere, I’m going to take that with a grain of salt. I haven’t read anything that suggests that possibility in any of my research of the subject.

@Ridley Wolf  
Solar: Loses efficiency after a decade or so.  
Wind: Inefficient use of space and impractical.  
Hydroelectric: Only effective in a few areas.  
Biogas (which is what I was assuming you were trying to say): Produces excessive pollution and takes a long time to pay off.  
Geothermal: Has the same problems as Hydroelectricity with the added issue that it causes weak points in the crust that could turn into volcanoes in the event of an earthquake.  
Fusion: If the reaction gets out of control, the entire planet’s atmosphere would burn away in minutes.  
Hydrogen: Expensive and dangerous to store.

@Mayojar77  
They have been for at least three decades, longer than most of this site’s users have been alive.

@Smudge_Proof  
Solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal… while none of these produce anywhere near the amount of energy as nuclear fission, they are all much safer.
 
In the future, it is also possible that we will see power plants that burn clean hydrogen, or even the perfection and implementation of nuclear fusion, a method of power generation that has almost no possibility for catastrophic accident, and produces much less waste, with a much shorter half-life.

@Ridley Wolf  
China is the biggest producer now. They haven’t always been.

@Mayojar77  
Actually, China by far is the biggest culprit in CFC emissions worldwide.  
That said, the United States is a major contributor to worldwide pollution, primarily due to the fact that our politicians are bought and paid for by the people responsible for said pollution.

@Ridley Wolf  
There are risks, yes, with every technology.  
Name me a viable current alternative to nuclear energy.

@Ichijoe  
And Solar is most helpful in the southern hemisphere, because of the massive burning and subsequent release of Chlorofluorocarbons by America, which lead to Ozone depletion.

Enjoy paying over the odds just to surf this Site then… I hope you have no use for anything electrical. ’Cause ditching Nukes for Windmills is NOT the answer. And Hydro-electricity only works in limited places.

@Mayojar77  
What about Three Mile Island and Fukishima?  
Or dozens of other, smaller incidents?  
The fact is, it’s impossible to protect against things like human error and natural disasters, and when something as dangerous as radioactive material is involved, the risks outweigh the benefits.

@Smudge_Proof  
When I said ‘Incompetence’, I was referring to everyone involved in the project. The design may have had flaws, but if anybody had been competent, they would have realized that there was flaws in it, making the source of the problem the incompetence of those involved, not the inherent design flaws of a half-assed rushed version.  
And I agree. Done right, nuclear power may solve the world’s various energy crises.

@Mayojar77  
Chernobyl had graphite-based reactors, and that concept was a bad idea even before it was put on paper.  
It also had a genuine design flaw that raised performance for a short time when they were about to lower it in certain situations.  
Also, most working reactors are the product of the cold war, created in mind of the possibility of using them for weapons grade material.  
Torium based reactors would be even safer and use up nuclear waste produced by today’s reactors.  
That being said, the only viable and sane option at the moment I think is nuclear power as well.

Radiation?…(gasp)GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate it when people use Chernobyl as a reason against nuclear power. It was an isolated incident caused by incompetence, not a flaw in the design.

“And that’s a good way to panic the Saddle Arabians.”

Where did that happen? I guess the Radiation crap was shopped in afterwards. but, still…
