Right, just a thought (off top of my head)....

Couldnt we send loads of solar panel equiptment up into space (closer to teh sun) and somehow send the energy back to us on earth? (lol my mind may be going crazy today), but its just an idea...... Is there anyway of sending it without the need of cables - if this is bliatently obviously wrong soemone please point it out otherwise i wont stop thinking about it lol

any thoughts or views... maybe we could use this thread as an idea for alternative energy sources.... (will change teh name if anyone thinks it a good idea

Its all very possible and apparantly NASA are working on it....The idea is to send Solar Panels into space and the energy is sent back via Micro Waves ..so no cables needed....see this article HERE

axxxr, you never disserpoint do you thats exactly what i was thinking about (ok, not identically but teh same sort of idea)....... if we can do that then maybe one day there is scope to put all power gathering equiptment on another planet

very neat!

microwaves... hmmm yep problem with that though firstly reciveving them and changing the energy form back into electrical energy, then theres also the thing with the amount of wastage, allot of the energy will go into a useless form such as heat, making the plannet warm up. there is then the problem of the effect on the earth sending down even more microwaves through the atmosphere, id say its a very bad idea myself.

Heres my idea: Fit every house/building in the UK/world with solar pannels and batterys that way we can save our own energy and lower the bills, allong with this we could fit water heating solar pannels so our water is heated on warm days for free.

and whilst were at it we should collect rain water to flush the toilets.... brilliant ideas there

there are many ways opening avaible to teh uk market today to do such things luke, but noone wants to pay teh initial costs....

an example of thsi is using Geothermal energy to heat a house..... ( the Geothermal energy can be drawn from under the house and heat it for basically free.... but teh intial costs are quite high i think.... around teh £10000 mark if my memory serves me correct.... (but in teh long run - youd save forture and help teh enviroment

Jim thats quite interesting..... why do you think its teh way forward? Isnt there a high risk of problems if its not exactly right?

@jim u are my man so lets hope it will turn around this way, instead of wind, water, sun etc energy solutions.

why instead of tho mate.... surely there aint anything wrong with teh ones you just mentioned....... they are freely avalible to us, on our door step in some cases....

Surely and ideal world world probably be made up of these sources? food for thought...
