Clean Energy Options
Along with solar energy and biofuel , there is wind energy, ocean energy, enhanced geothermal energy, thermal convection energy, and a host of variations on these themes. There is also the nuclear fission option, with nuclear technologies safer than ever. Eventually there may be nuclear fusion. And hydropower, from run-of-river green systems to deep water reservoirs, is still experiencing significant growth. How will these options develop, and which of them will step up alongside solar energy to replace fossil fuel?
