Do you believe this guy when he says "it will deliver more power every year this century than coal with carbon capture and storage -- for much less money and with far less environmental damage."

Do you think solar energy is a viable source to fix our environmental issues?

    lol, i doubt this is gunna happen in the near future. If this even works and is exploited fully, all the oil companies wud go out of business. I dont think world leaders are truly gunna make clean electricity our primary source of power until oil reserves all around the world are sucked dry. I dont really have anything to back up what im sayin, just my opinion, but i think most ppl wud agree. Have u watch who killed the electric car? ,or wtvr that movies called, shows how money-hungry big corporations are.

    Neone know wut geo-thermal energy is tho? i invested in an apartment in that new tower thats being built in Surrey Central and it has geothermal heating and fibre optic cabling or sumthing. Apparently its supposed to be 1 of the most technological buildings of its sort in western Canada. Im so glad i looked into it because it has potential for major profits lol woohoo for me.
    (dont mean to brag lol)

    theoretically we could harness the energy from the sun, which is a lot more than what we can get on earth, but we're not quite there in practise yet.
