We should either use less energy, or use renewable energy sources, like solar-thermal generators that are now providing energy in Europe more cheaply than Nuclear generators, without the waste products. In Australia, peak energy demand is on hot summer days, when solar energy is most abundant; it makes no sense to not use solar energy to help meet this peak demand.

  23. Offshore wind power projects in Mumbai coastline Mumbai is an ideal place for such wind power projects

  24. Man did not weave the web of life, He is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, He does to himself. Chief Seattle, 1854
