I know that this has nothing to do with energy but I felt this was an important newsflash. Colin Powell, former Republican Secretary of State, announced his support for Barack Obama in the presidential elections. It is said to be an extreme blow to McCain. Powell called Obama a "transformational figure" who could be an "exceptional president."

The Poll

So with the results of my poll, even though only four people voted and I thank you, solar energy wins out for the most popular form of alternative energy to oil. Solar energy really is an exceptional alternative. Expense yes, but if the technology is pursued we wouldn't have to worry about running out of sun. Oil has a definate amount, but the sun provide energy that lasts. Yes it can be argued that the sun has a definate amount of energy, but by the time the sun burns out into a white dwarf the human race may be nonexistant. Until that time I believe we should endeavour towards solar technologies. Wind, nuclear, and hydrogen were also choices. All of which are good alternative. Hydrgen is actually the best out of the four because its consumption produces no greenhouse gases. Nuclear energy is a good source but it takes a lot of work to stay maintained. Wind, however abundant, isn't too reliable.
