I just wanted to know what you guys think is the most effective means of supplying power to be used as energy? I’ve considered several of the advantages and disadvantages of each source, but I’m stuck and I don’t know which to pick. SO out of hydrogen fuel, solar, photochemical, hydroelectric, and biomass power, which one is the best and why? thanks!

Hydroelectric is terrible, it causes damage to ecosystems because you’re plugging up a river.
I’m going to go with the Thorium reactors. It will never happen though, as the world’s nuclear powers will stick with uranium for weapons production.
Its not about a new energy source, but using what we have on a more efficient scale. Alternative sources will be behind population growth but also productivity as well. That doesn’t mean they aren’t a viable means to sustainability, just limited.
Efficiency. We could have the equivalent of 30% more power available in the U.S. today- enough to meet our projected needs for over a decade – just by using what we have more efficiently. Just about any municipal power company in the U.S. has a website that will tell you the same thing and give details.
Your choices are rather restrictive… Nuclear fusion is the most effective means of supplying energy, and to be honest it will probably happen within the next 30 years. We already have an infrastructure to deliver that power to people since it’s generated in a plant, and it’s more or less renewable. In other words, by the time the source of fusion energy runs out (water) we’ll have bigger problems than not being able to produce energy.
A combination of solar, wind, tidal, geothermal energy and second nd third generation bio-fuels. You look for a single source, we don’t have a single source now. That displays the breadth of your stupidity and the depth of your dishonesty
In the future I’ll go with a dark matter reactor.
Now I’ll go with wave power. We have the entire ocean surface at our disposal and wave power is just a new technology.
Nuclear energy is best, and most efficient. We would also recycle spent uranium rods like other countries do.
