Nuclear. |

Nuclear fusion (Nuclear power is an ambigious term and can refer to Nuclear Fission as well) |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
Nuclear and/or geothermal |

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about energy for fuel or energy for electricity generation? |

even though we dont have cost effective technology at the moment, i personally believe Solar will lead the way. |

Probably nuclear fission as baseload, if not fusion gets in the way. |
|
Nuclear for home, bio-fuel for automobiles. |
|
Probably something up on a distant planet, if we can get up there. We may find a new renewable resource, or possibly even something like oil that causes war and depression. Yay space. |
|
the sun. still. |

A better question: when do you think that humanity will be (for the most part) independent of petroleum as an energy source? |

When energy storage for the various forms of transport catches up with the performance and convenience provided by petroleum. Though even then fossil fuels would still be needed to generate electricity, unless there were massive investments and improvements in solar power. |

ok, Follow up question. |

If the government encourages power companies (read: pays bonuses to power companies), they will do almost anything the government says. My opinion? Get the companies working on electric cars. If we can run everything on electricity, we can consolidate power generation, ideally to nuclear. Replace oil drills with radioactive waste containment sites and more reactors, and we might be better off than if we tried to pursue multiple outlets(pun definitely intended). |

I find the general public extremely frustrating when it comes to issues like power generation.. they don't seem to understand how far developed technologies are, and the life-cycle costs associated with them. |
|
within 50 years we will have tapped into the latent potential of the space time continuum and will have no need for any specific energy source. Zero point energy ftw. |

Sunlight... It's everywhere. With the rise of new electrical power storage technology (see: the supercapacitor), I can easily see a new generation of electric cars that can store a great deal more energy without the drawback of the weight of our current petrol-based automobiles. The costs of solar tech will drop over time as the use and development of solar cells becomes much more widespread. New companies will open up, manufacturing components will be more common, and competition will drive the pricerange of our future, more efficient solar cells down to an affordable level for the general public. |

I throw my money behind this. Seems the best option at least. Nuclear energy.... no thanks. |

This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.
How much and what kind of waste is created by nuclear, and what are the storage issues associated with it? |

Nuclear. I think that if we could safely dispose of it, then we're good to go. Maybe we can send it to Mercury. Nobody gives a flying f*** about that place. |

Can you see me now?
