[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063476498, member: 2429"] FVEL : Are you a pro-nuke or anti-nuke station then? My personal thoughts on the matter : I don't care to have a nuclear station in a country where they can't even build highways properly and not to mention have completed buildings collapse on their own (read : more than 1). Then the slack attitude most people in authority have and blatant corruption will not help either. Forget about the science of the thing, the country's social problems will be the downfall of this reactor. I can see it now [i]"Aiya.. that alarm is normal la.. happens everyday. It will stop by itself one. Jom, teh tarik!"[/i] And on the note about oil depletion and all that - the worlds largest O&G company Exxon now is investing shitloads of money into technologies for better ways of drilling, oil refining, waste reduction, gas refining, etc. What does that mean? For every 1 barrel of oil dug out, last time used to create X amount of energy. Now it's X times 10. Efficiency in doing whatever it is they are doing. If we can improve our own efficiencies then we wouldn't need as much energy in the first place! Internal stats show that it's only those growing economies require enormous amounts of energy, stabilized economies or developed ones show a very little increase in energy requirements.

So the concept of 'recycle', 'energy-saver' and all those technologies that ride on these concepts should be explored in-depth and enforced. Hell, a simple example would be a humble petrol station automated carwash in the USA. Most if not all Exxon car washes recycle their water and have very little wastage compared to the Ah-neh carwashes in KL. [/QUOTE]
