Our top scholars will be able to find a solution.
If successfully, our electricity bills going to increase 100 fold.

Solar park
"Energiepark Waldpolenz": From 2009 the Solar Power Plant will generate 40 million kWh solar power p.a . Photo: juwi group.
550.000 Solar modules in an area of 220 hectares
The world's 10 biggest solar power stations
Fuente Álamo: 26 MW Murcia, Spain Brandis: 24 MW (40 MW intended) Saxony, Germany Abertura: 23,1 MW Caceres, Spain Hoya de Los Vincentes: 23 MW Murcia, Spain Trujillo: 20 MW Cáceres, Spain Beneixama: 20 MW Alicante, Spain SinAn: 19,6 MW Korea Nellis: 14 MW Nevada, USA Salamanca: 13,8 MW Spain -
i believe there are other source of Renewable energy waiting to be discovered.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy
Saw Discovery channel on a New Energy Source - olive oil.
I recently watched something on Mad Labs (Discovery Channel), about a boffin who used particles derived from olive oil which can store and disperse energy very efficiently.
Apparently, when this technology matures, buildings can literally self-power when you coat it with this stuff.
Basically, it functions by storing solar power in itself and disperses it in a controllable manner.
On an unrelated note, I personally think that alternative energy sources are not really immature. It’s just the traditional power supply corporations being fearful at the potential loss of revenues if these renewable energies eventually becomes mainstream.
Call it a “conspiracy mindset” if you want… but every day you see more and more renewable energy technology being announce; but where are the contributions from existing power players?
also, the Compressed air car.

as if the car is "breathing". and air is everywhere.

Yes, so many options that uses mother nature to power up the electricity.
Why use nuclear plant?

is impressed.

Saw Discovery channel there's also a material under the sea that can be use, but i forgot what it is.

Yeah... There's plenty of other options... Though some maybe much more inefficient...More research needs to go into this field...

Relatively new concepts for alternative energy
Algae fuel
Algae fuel is a biofuel which is derived from algae. During photosynthesis, algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight and convert it into oxygen and biomass. The benefits of algal biofuel are that it can be produced industrially, thereby obviating the use of arable land and food crops (such as soy, palm, and canola), and that it has a very high oil yield as compared to all other sources of biofuel.

I believe singapore cannot use wind turbines.
That's surely out ,no strong wing.
No 水力�电also.
Maybe can solar bah.
-
Might as well grow marijuana. They produce very good biofuel too. :P
Hemp paper.. hemp clothes... medicinal. Green Energy. N makes everyone happy. And there will be peace in the world.

Well come to think of it, since quite sometime back, ppl have been suggesting alot of ideas...
Take a look at Japan's idea last year (I did a post here somewhere)...
They wanted to built an orbital Space Satellite to collect solar power (reminds u of Gundam OO eh...?) and beam it down to japan via microwave... Naturally the idea was put off since the neighbouring countries are protestig to it to various reason... If something goes wrong, the microwave beam might slice japan or taiwan... Or in other cases, it might fire wrongly at the wrong place and thus becoming something like "an ion cannon"
Those from middle east (forget which country) surprisingly also suggesting something orbital... Building Orbital nuclear power plants... Now, imagine wat would happen if nuclear power plants explode in space and is pulled into our stratosphere...? GG~~!!!
Something like "Icarus" in the movie Die Another Day?

just ask ppl who cycle to do their excercise on a gym bicycle that is connected to a motor. then can generate electric le lor
-
still, i think it's diffcult to get enough of it. den u have to buy from other country.

Solar power is for countries with clean air. In Sg the solar panels will be covered with dust.
We should link up floating solar panels on the reservoir. Lots of space, reduce evaporation loss, plenty of water to spray off the dust.
-
what if oneday rain whole day? sg will no more electric. means no more sgForums.

heard there's a nana-technology about lotus leaf that can be use as dust repellent. :)
lotus leaf can automatically repellent water droplets and dust.
