The best energy source!, Wind!

Wind Turbines

Pros:
Very Reliable
Cost Effective
Safe
Environmentally Clean
Unlimited Wind

Cons:
Some people consider them "Ugly" I think they are beautiful.
Need ALOT of them for enough energy.
Wind doesn't always blow.
Maintanence is hard

We all know this. Now check out the future of wind technology.

Pros of the Airborne Wind Turbime:
Moderatley Reliable
Cost Effective once running
Safe if in a "No Fly Zone"
Environmentally Clean
Unlimited Wind
Constant Wind
Out of sight
Able to make many of them in the sky

Cons:
A tangle of gigantic fans floating in the air = Oh Shi-
VERY hard to maintanence.
3rd world countries will have collisions with aircraft eventually.

Turbines...ugly? They defile the good name that is turbine of the wind! Good pros, cons, unfortunate but true.

More pros:
SOME think they are nice looking
Already many turbines set up

Cons:
It will be a while before we get airborne turbines
Tethers may be slightly problematic

Yeah but we dont have any of these Kites yet. We need to try.

I support any new clean energy source. wind is the most viable option as of now but it uses to much space. this article list the pros and cons of several options.
Fuling The Future

There are too many politicians that that wind though

I dunno, I think wind turbines and wave energy generators are the best option.

Wave energy is extremley dangerous to the environment. Cuts of sea routes.

Thats why they dont put them in sea routes. over 70% of earths surface is water, I think there just might be somewhere thay can put them.

I'm sorry, fish live everywhere in the water...

and most of the water is in the middle of the oceans (not the exact middle, but you get it), and could be costly to transport and maintence the power

do you know how many miles of coastline there are? I'm sure there is some left unused. As for the fish; wich would you prefer, a couple thousand less fish out of billions or clean power forever?

Billions. Billions of fish, shark, dolphin, coral, squid, everythings migration path will be cut off... Plus the entire coast is pretty much used knowadays.

I'm not saying that we fill the ocean with these things, just that some things may need to be sacrificed for the greater good. Think for a minute. how many gallons of fossil fuel could stay in the ground, how many tons of Co2 could remain in solid form, how many other animals could be saved because coal didn't need to be mined for power if even a third of our energy was derived fom renuable resorces such as wind, water & solar. This is just me, but I think disrupting the lives of a few thousand fish in order to gain all this is perfeclty reasonable.

Killing those fish would disrupt the food chain in that part of the world, and the food chain is a bad thing to mess up.

especially since we are at the top on most of them

'Cause hoomans rock!

well we could put the turbines off shore so people won't notice them (for the con)

But they look cool, I want to see them, people who think they are ugly will just have to deal.

unfortunatly those are the people who pay taxes. ahh, the age old problem with democracy; some people are just stupid.

The worst thing in the world wouldnt be a a representitive democracy, it would be a true democracy.
