Default Re: OT: What if we live in a infinite resources world like in SE4?

theoretically, energy does equal matter, but you need such tremendous amounts of energy as to be impossible (with anything that we know of)
Solar power has several problems:
Clouds for one, also solar power is very costly and low yield power wise. I personally think that we could cut down greatly on oil use if we all had solar panels on our roofs, but it would be expensive. I like the idea of building more dams, but it damages rivers very badly. Its controversial. Wind power looks interesting, newer wind mills can make more power and are cheaper than ever.
