        Fusion can be used anywhere, it is efficient, does not change due to weather, and if there is a problem that destroys the containment it will stop the reaction and cool off very quickly. Much safer than fission in my opinion

        I don't think there will be one overarching panacea. We are going to transition our energy sources in stages and then arrive at a combination of sources.
        With my research and ISEF project being on the topic of cellulosic ethanol, obviosuly I feel that cellulosic ethanol would be a completely viable option to transition vehicles off of liquid fossil fuels. This liquid alternative fuel would be the bridge that we need to get to fully renewable energy sources. The problem with cellulosic ethanol is the energy output, though. So a fuel better suited would be something like biobutanol (the focus of my research project this year), that has a higher energy output which is similar to gasoline. A fantastic example of ethanol in action is in the current situation of Brazil (I suggest looking it up if you guys have time or are interested, it's fascinating how politics basically drove their conversion and ITS FREAKING WORKING!).
        For something like household electricity, however, I'm going to bet on a combination of Solar and Wind will be our best bet.

      Nuclear Energy

      Started by Hunter Whaples
      A controversial issue when it comes to energy, nuclear is an interesting subject.  It's not quite renewable, yet its source, if used correctly provides massive energy yeilds.  It can be dangerous, and many are afraid of its spread, yet...
