I am looking into different sources of alternative energy. I am trying to figure out which ones are viable and which ones are not and the pros and cons. Can you tell me the pros and cons of these following options and if they are viable? If I have left something out please let me know and if you cant answer this question do you know of a good resource to study these things?
1. Electricity: isn’t electricity ultimately produced from oil or something ultimately anyways?
2. Fossil Oil/ Petroleum: is this limited or is there a lot of it?
3. Nuclear: are nuclear power plants dangerous? is this a very high producing option?
4. Solar: do panels really produce enough energy?
5. Ethanol: is this worth it or a waste of food?
6. Coal: do we have a lot of this and is it way too polluting?
7. What about microwave technology it really seems to do a lot better then ovens? what kind of technology is this and can it be used for other things?
