Doesn't nuclear fusion count as sustainable?

[edit]

If they ever figure out how to make it work I believe there's enough fuel in the oceans to power the world for millennia without draining them even a millimeter. Not sure if there's enough lithium though, lithium deuteride is used in some fusion. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 18:47, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be continually 30 years away, but now LANL's best estimates say 2050 is the earliest a commercial fusion reactor can be expected. Check back then. —Cupco 13:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biofuel

[edit]

Is there any peer reviewed secondary literature supporting the contention that biofuel is truly sustainable? In many cases it has a greater carbon footprint than petroleum, because of the fact that high-carbon croplands lay fallow for most of the non-growing seasons when they would otherwise be forest or scrub, and because of the fossil fuels used in agriculture for tractors/harvesters and fertilizers. —Cupco 13:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The peer reviewed literature reviews [1] indicates that essentially all biofuels are not actually sustainable when measured in terms of net energy balance, and [2] indicates that biodiesel in particular, while the most developed of the biofuels, is neither sustainable nor economically viable at present. Therefore, I am replacing the link to Biofuel with Carbon neutral fuel. —Cupco 17:59, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting

[edit]

Hello, I see that there are various ideas regarding formatting of this template. May I suggest that those perspectives be discussed here? Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 01:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I too find the hanging dots irritating. Is there any guidance from MOS about this or any particular reason to keep them? Since we know exactly how the line breaks will occur, why not insert the line breaks and remove the hanging dots? That's what I usually see in the other sidebars. 06:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

Which do you think is better:
1. "Part of a series on" or
2. "Part of a series about"
I think "Part of a series about" is more clear but feel free to change back if you have a good reason. Brian Everlasting (talk) 00:17, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is excellent time to make some plans for the future plus its time to become happy. I've read this write-up and if I could I want to recommend you some interesting items or advice. Maybe you can write following articles discussing this article. I would like to read a lot more things about it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.228.124.60 (talk) 17:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
