    no its because most of today is technology based so there is a massive demand for power. Also oil,coal,hydro and the like all come into it as its getting more expensive and generally changing and running out making power more difficult to generate.

    plus some people ( I'm not going to name anyone in particular... YES, GEORGE BUSH, I AM LOOKING AT YOU) hike the cost of raw oil for personal profit.

    Actually bhatooth, there are other sources of power we could use to generate electricity, it's just ,again, our god damn country leaders are more busy stuffing their wallets full of cash that they don't bother. They just fend for themselves :p

    you can use wind power, water current, thermal energy and nuclear energy, and many others to generate electricity

    ^ Yes exactly

    but what does our country's leaders do, Nothing :p

    cmon there's geothermal plants in bicol and some places in region IV i think
    hydro plants in mindanao
    wind generators somewhere
    and a nuke plant in bataan <- *chuckles* (but seriously could you imagine the Philippine government handling nuclear waste)

    nuclear energy is awesome. it provides enough energy for many people. too bad it's not for everyone.
    but do you trust that country on nuclear energy?!

    but nuclear energy is very dangerous............if a nuclear plant explodes it makes a huge explosion plus the radiation will be left to kill the place for more than centuries

    Modern Nuclear powerplants are more advanced now than they were 20 or so years ago, so it's safe to say that a thermo-nuclear meltdown is very unlikely to occur

    I know it's still in research but I wonder, do you guys think that we'll ever taste electricity generated by fusion reaction &/or Through microwave energy beamed down directly from a solar gathering satelite just like in the SIMCity games in our lifetime??

    maybe so technology can find a way in the near future

    i don't think cold fusion is possible. just like with time travel, i don't think it's possible.

    nuclear fusion is indeed possible, its been done, the difficulty is harnessing the power and sustaining the reaction.

    is nuclear fusion similar to what happen at the sun's core?
