My plan would be Gas and then replace it with Solar thermal energy. Im open to using nuclear in addition or instead of gas. However my (limited) research seems that Nuclear is actually quite expensive and probebly could not compete in a market against gas. Gas is fine because the burning is efficant, we seem to have quite a bit and its CO2 is accaptable. We really need to be working on Solar thermal energy. It combines the renewable energy with the consistancy of gas/coal/nuclear plus its safer then either of those. I don't understand why its not used as much (Their are a number of theories).
