[QUOTE="binky, post: 546633, member: 490"] I regard nuclear as a necessary evil, unless someone finally cracks the Fusion technology. If they do that apparently you can use spent radioactive waste as fuel for fusion, thereby solving the waste issue. To power the UK with solar would need 0.41% of the land area. To power the world an area the size of Hungary would be needed. Not massive areas in the scheme of things. Ideally you would site solar farms somewhere like the Sahara and transmit the energy back to Europe, but geopolitical issues make that unrealistic. We have more than enough roof space to achieve most of what we need. There's a rediculous amount of commercial roof space without solar on, which is down to the landlords of the buildings preventing installation. A little figure for you to ponder, the sun irradiates the planet with enough energy to power the world every hour. [/QUOTE]
