    i personally think its energy storage because that is the main problem we have with solar and wind power that we cant store huge amounts of energy at a time

    At the moment, make renewable energy more efficient.

    its not that we dont know how to use renewable energy it's that we dont know how to store a large amount of energy at a timeso we cant rely on solar power because of night time and when the wind stops we wont get power from wind turbines

    Sure, we know how to use them but it's not efficient enough. Storing the energy is great but if you only produce enough energy for a day it's not going to help.

    the amount of sunlight that hits the surface of the earth in 1 hour is enough to supply the entire world with power for 1 year but we cant store solar energy

    How to kill each other more effectively and thoroughly, obviously.

    That's what it always ends up being. I think we should spice stuff up a bit you know. We should try to find out how to kill people on other planets effectively and thoroughly.

    Let's find those people on other planets first...then again, we need to be prepared...it is decided! We shall build a giant death ray!

    Nah. I think we should focus on making man-made supernovas!

    We need to research more efficient ways of doing everything we have ever done <.<

    I think sly and I are doing that perfectly well.

    But what are we going to test these on? Supernova's are pretty powerful.

    Well our first test should be on Pluto. Nobody cares if you blow up Pluto. Of course it could backfire and fry the solar system, but that's the risk we take.

    I don't see how it's possible, or safe to turn Pluto into a supernova...

    In all seriousness, though, the top three research priorities probably are:
    a) finding a long-term replacement for fossil fuels and their uses.
    b) genetically modifying the shit out of plants to help solve (possible) food problems.
    c) pretty much any medical research.

    I meant test the supernova by shooting it at Pluto.
