Also, most likely a newer larger form of Hydrogen bond breaking in water should be found a great resource, since it renews itself, and is clean.

(Yes, my post is short, but I don't have much to say)

Cold fusion is at a level of physics that I don't plan on taking, unless I decide to go to graduate school for physics instead of electrical engineering. Superconductors generate no resistance, which is great that you'll transfer current faster and you'll lose less charge due to the imperfections of the wire. But nothing in this world is ideal. A capacitor cannot maintain a charge forever, and you cannot get something for nothing.
A lot of conservation technologies do not really conserve anything. For example, computers waste A LOT of power. If every computer made this year was 50% more efficient, that power saved could light up Chicago for 6 months. I could engineer wiring and components made out of high quality metals and extrinsic diamonds and ceramic superconductors that could make a computer that efficient, but it takes work and power to create that equipment. The cost of processing- the energy, money, chemicals (many are hazardous) needed outweighs the money and resources that would be saved during that computer’s lifespan. You end up with a net loss. Right now, for this example, it is more environmentally friendly to use the old computer model even if it is a power hog.
But we may eventually find a cheaper way to process materials, and the initial cost will go down. Then conservation becomes actual conservation.

As for cold fusion your probably thinking of a rather strange effect that has been observed as late. This should help clear things up:

Holy, those are some very interesting links Sithdarth. It sounds like they've really made some breakthroughs in cold fusion since it was abandoned in the early 90s.

There have been many advances in a lot of obsecure areas of science. I posted a few more links in the fools rush in thread and I edited my last post with come additional infromation. It did get a little long though.

Back on topic here are some links to other alternative means of power and conservation efforts that could help with the CO2 problem:

Oh, and your looking at a future in mechanical engineering, so I may be one the one helping computers become more cost effective :P

But I'd rather work for the space program...
