     Ausubel of Rockefeller University in New York, US. says the key renewable energy sources, including sun, wind and biofuels, would all require vast     1     of land if developed up to large scale production1 – unlike nuclear power. That land would be far better left alone2, he says. Renewables look attractive when they are quite     2    . But if we start producing renewable energy on a large scale, the fallout is going to be horrible. Instead, Ausubel argues     3     renewed development of nuclear.

     Ausubel draws his conclusions by analysing the amount of energy renewables, natural gas and nuclear can produce in terms of power per square metre of land used3. Moreover, he claims that as renewable energy use increases, this measure of efficiency4 will     4     as the best land for wind, biofuels, and solar power gets used up.

    Using biofuels to obtain the     5     amount of energy as a 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant would require 2500 square kilometres of farm     6    , Ausubel says. "We should be sparing land for nature5, not using it as pasture for cars and trucks," he adds.

     Solar power is much more efficient than biofuel in terms of the area of land     7    , but it would still require 150 square kilometres of photovoltaic cells to     8     the energy production of the 1000 MW nuclear plant. In another example, he says meeting the 2005 US electricity demand via wind power alone would need 780,000 square kilometres, an area the size of Texas.

     However, several experts are highly critical     9     Ausubel’s conclusions. John Turner of the US government’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory says that     10     the US got all of its power from solar energy, it would still need less than half the amount of land that has been paved over for highways. Further, it need not     11     additional land. The US could get a quarter of its energy just from covering rooftops of     12     buildings, he says.

     According to Turner, the same "dual use" also applies to wind power6. "The footprint for wind7 is only 5% of the land that it     13    . Farmers can still farm the land that the turbines are on8. Turner says looking solely at land use is an oversimplification of the     14    . "I’m not sure I’d want to build one of these nuclear plants in Afghanistan9, but we could     15     put in wind and solar power," he adds.

The Monster of Lake Tianchi

The "Monster of Lake Tianchi" in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China, is back in the news after several recent sightings. The director of a local tourist office, Meng Fanying, said the monster, which seemed to be black in colour, was ten metres from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting. "It jumped out of the water like a seal—about 200 people on Changbai's western peak saw it," he said. Although no one really got a clear look at the mysterious creature, Xue Junlin, a local photographer, claimed that its head looked like a horse.

In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water. The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming for about two minutes. "It was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimetre horns", one of the soldiers said.

A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who was visiting the lake with his family. He claims to have seen a round black creature moving quickly through the water. After three or four hundred metres it dived into the water. Ten minutes later the monster appeared again and repeated the action. Mr Li Xiaohe said that he and his family were able to see the monster clearly because the weather was fine and the lake was calm.

There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century, although no one has seen one close up. Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because it was too far away. Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. They also think that there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world. Scientists, however, are sceptical. They say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.

Lake Tianchi is the highest volcanic lake in the world. It is 2,189 metres high and covers an area of about ten square kilometres. In places it is more than 370 metres deep.
