Is Green Energy Viable?

[Avicenna]

Simply improving energy generation won't do.

The underlying problem is that the human population is skyrocketing, and Earth simply cannot support it.

In addition to improving/revolutionising our ways of getting energy, we have to manage to cut the human population, or our planet will do so for us. It's happening either way.

Precisely right. Population control is at the heart of all the 'green' movements. If we don't figure that out everything is a short term solution.

green energy has to be the future. I personally dont care about the ozone. But we will eventually run out of oil.
Solar power- Nope
Wind Power- nope
Water power- less of a nope but still nope
Hydrogen- that's where its at baby, figure a way to produce hydrogen without using petro-chemicals and you've got the invention of the century.

You don't care about the ozone? So you don't mind getting cancer then?

Cancer might be battled.

There's also the prospect of the eco system in the ocean getting severely damaged due to the increased amount of UV radiation.

The earth is a sphere everthing inside a sphere is finite that includes the wind and solar power there is only so much to go around the best solution is a massive depopulation of the planet but that is some way off yet.

Nuclear power works well, and solar will too once they improve the efficiency and get them to store energy. Last I heard they were working on mimicking the way plants store energy.
