What is the current state of affairs on these energy production alternatives?

>Geothermal.

>Wave and Tide

>Marine current

>Solar

>Wind

>Fission

>Fusion

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 17 20:51:46 2014 No.6955944 >>6955925 as far as i know, the greater focus has been on wind and solar. but that's in the US. While the technology exists for the others, it's not as advanced simply because no one is really trying to advance it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 17 20:54:36 2014 No.6955950 >>6955946 which civilization?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 17 20:55:53 2014 No.6955955 >>6955949 dont require active safety systems, ie. active pumping of coolant. coolant flow is driven by natural circulation

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 17 20:57:21 2014 No.6955960 20 years away since 1940!

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 17 20:59:25 2014 No.6955966 >>6955946 >le always 20 years away face that was true when we didnt know what the fuck plasma was and how it acted we're fine now though although tokamaks are the wrong way to do fusion IMO
