I completely agree with you, ViperAce.
In the end, at least in my country, what is needed would be to utilise all the potential sources of energy.
It's an integration of sources.
The future seems to be a combination of coal, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro,oil, gas; all of them. They all have advantages and disadvantages.
Unfortunately we don't currently have a choice. Hopefully some technological breakthrough is on it's way. Wish governments would put a lot more money into research on this issue.
Instead, in my country, the government uses a lot of the funds they generate from carbon tax on having things like extravagant, well-lit parties (energy from from both coal powered and nuclear power stations) held under disco balls. Then they switch off those lights to celebrate earth-day for an hour a year, using oil lamps while dancing in the dim light of another fossil fuel.
Only a small amount of the total tax generated by the carbon tax goes into research of renewable , clean, safe, energy sources. Sigh.
