An ideal scenario for the near future (a few decades) would be something like 10% solar, 10% hydro, 10% wind, 10% geothermal, 20% nuclear, 40% coal. Right now it's something like 90% coal. That's not good. Places in Europe are heading towards a weighting like this.
but once you've attained adequate geothermal technology, wouldn't that dominate as the main source of energy? i mean, one zettajoule is quite a lot.

^^^ You have a price floor based on the amount the materials cost. Otherwise why wouldn't computers be practically free?
Materials cost isn't the problem - it's manufacturing costs, which can go down plenty.

Anyway, the supply/demand curve minimises price a bit before it reaches the bare cost of the materials, I have a feeling - the company can only continue to lower costs as long as it makes a profit doing so.

Sure, but that won't be for a while and it's fairly theoretical.

It's not like solar research is a waste, either - it's used in many situations besides industrial and domestic power generation. Space being one of the main ones.

It's not like this is a limited good. Researching solar doesn't prevent research of geothermal.

So the United Nations are just left wing radicals?
Cause they pretty much propose a resolution which says the same thing about Israel every year.

Yeah and the UN also has carte blanche to go into people's countries, kill people and rape their women whilst under the guise of diplomatic immunity.

The UN's hardly one to talk about human rights abuses, believe me.

I feel it's fitting given you've just revealed yourself to be the stupidest man on earth.

I'll read that later, CBF. My point is you don't have to be a left wing radical to criticise Israel on it's policy towards Palestinians.

EDIT: I know the argument's a joke, I'm just posting out the UN's not the best institution in the world.

I like some of the Greens' policies, but their Anti-Nuclear bandwagon just shits me off.

And they hate farmers.

the problem with farmers is that sometimes they just need to realise...


Just move on guys seriously. The land can't always sustain you so stop voting nats for short term gains of cahs and vote greens for long term solutions to your problems.

Let's keep growing rice and cotton and paying above market prices for it too.

Yeah, fuck farmers.

Um no.

The land can sustain us just fine. It's about smart farming practices.

That includes not chopping down all the trees on your farm. :rolleyes:
