Hydroelectricity or Nuclear energy?

[Talhagamer]

What you are talking about will never be possible. In the desert there is sand and there is also wind. This will stop the panels from being effective. They can't be cleaned that often because there are constant winds. Also, we can never run out of nuclear material, since there is a chemical process to make radioactive elements. Make a research about it. Also lemme put it this way, 1 gram of uranium can emit more energy than the entire sahara desert with panels ( assuming they are cleaned, which is very unlikely ) for a 1000 years. Not to mention plutonium which is by far the most radioactive element that exists on the planet earth.

But then again, Nuclear energy has its side effects too. If you don't take proper care of it, you'd be screwed real BAD.

Solar energy is free. (ignoring the cost of setting it up)
It's available for more than 300 days a year where I live, the Mid East won't take advantage of it.

I agree why dont they do that in middle east

Deserts are free, just use those spots for power.

Yeah, imagine solar panels over the whole Sahara Desert.[/quote]

Yeah, imagine how mad they'd be when they see their expensive stuff getting eaten by a sandstorm

could be made strong enough.

True


What about wind energy guys ?

There are some places in world that is perfect.

I asked my biology teacher today, and he said windmills are more effective in deserts than solar power.
