Renewable Energy Prospects & Limitations?

Base question: Should Australia Include Nuclear Power in its' Energy Mix?

Underlying the nuclear debate is a perception that Australia's future energy needs can be met solely through renewable energy, primarily solar and wind.

A simple calculation shows this as an impossibility, at least in the near future.

Is 100% renewable energy a pipe-dream or a realistic future prospect for Australia?

While this is clearly an Australian issue, it does have global implications.

As such, everyone is invited to provide feedback in recognition of the fact that we now have the technology and the concept to help decide issues and resolve questions as a global community.

About PByT Surveys & Open Democracy

The PByT surveys represent a rolling snapshot of global sentiment from real people whose identity has been verified. The results can be analyzed in a variety of ways to get a better understanding of key issues utilizing Bayesian statistics - a mathematical concept that updates beliefs in light of new data or evidence.

As a result, these surveys have the potential to be the most definitive resources on some of the most critically important issues of modern times and serve as the basis for the idea of "open democracy."

Have your say and help shape the interconnected world of tomorrow based on trust, mutual-aid and cooperation.
