Hello everyone. I am Sturla, comes from Norway and I am 16 years old. I am deeply concerned about what is happening with the world. I am very afraid of what will happen in the future. I have a strong hope to give my descendants a better world. I support you in Greenpeace to get a better and cooler world. Give us hope! Thanks

This is what gives me hope!! Its what brings joy to my heart. I give thanks to all the organizations & everyone who has made a difference! Never stop!! The power we have when we come together is amazing.

The global warming issue is so important,we all have to try our best to prevent any more damage to our planet & the global warming,before it is too late!!

Keep the earth clean and green.Go solar!

The view from the UK, where our government has just announced that they are to ease the planning path for a massive Nuclear Power Station building program.

Fossil fuel energy generation has to be progressively replaced, the planet cannot stand it much longer, and anyway, it's getting harder to source.

The big advantage of nuclear power is that it is a one-decision solution. Useful for those with small minds. 
It is a mature technology, it has been around for over half a century and benefited from huge public subsidies, yet still it does not know what to safely do with it's waste.

Nuclear turbines generate a fantastic amount of heat, which requires massive quantities of cooling water, hence the preferred coastal siting of most nuclear power stations. Sea levels are predicted to rise anywhere between 1 metre and 75 metres by the end of the century, and even the lower range of the estimate will be hard to hold back with barrages. Yes, I know we are already in a hole about this, but do we have to keep on digging?

Fusion power was thirty years away when my brother was doing his physics doctorate, in the 1960's. And it still is. 
Bizarre. Apparently, $6 billion is to be put in to fusion research this year. Hey people, we're going to make a mini star on earth! Excuse me for my sceptism. And trepidation.

We have a tried and tested, free, massive fusion reactor, a safe 93,000,000 miles away. A reactor that is not subject to disruption by rising sea levels, or earthquakes, or human error. We have the proven ability to harvest the energy it emits. Admittedly, it will take more than one solution, and we also have to consider how wasteful and greedy a lifestyle we can afford. Admittedly, many small solutions will not provide as effective a power base for a ruling elite to manipulate to their advantage. Many small solutions will involve more people. Some may say that is a bonus. I certainly think so.

It is a shame to lump all the non-nuclear, non fossil power generation technologies into a single 'renewables' basket, when they are multivariously diverse, and each different method of power/heat generation has it's place.
Solar is getting cheaper and easier - thin film technology, nano printing techniques...Wind works, in it's way. It's good for what it's good for.
Geothermal heat pumps. Tidal barrages - for the UK, this is big and reliable. Hydro, for generation and as a proven storage system.

The nimbys must be brought on side.
The destruction of the purity of your visual horizon cannot be a reason to deny permission to a wind farm, the potential alteration of habitats cannot provide a veto to a tidal barrage. These changes we can learn to live with, and so can the wading birds.

But nothing survives deuterium and plutonium. Except the cockroaches. Or is that an urban myth?

We are all capable of halving our own energy use, without great difficulty. So that'll help. Take up the slack in the economy thus created by getting on with building the Severn barrage, more welsh pumped water storage, smarten up the power grid, insulating and energizing. Car factories could surely convert to work in these areas.
