For a solar plant to power new york city, you would need a solar collector that is about 300 square miles.
That doesn't even account for when solar power in unusable, e.g. during dawn, dusk, and night.
What do you want, 1 nuke plant or 100 square miles of wind turbines?

I heard they are developing a new solar panel that pumps hydrgen through the panel and the hydrogen gets hot or something, I for get exactly how but it powers a 4 cylinder engine that drives a generator with no emissions
Aloone_Jonez:
Fair enough we need a replacement for fossil fuels as they're non-renewable but wheather neuclear power is good or bad it's still non-renewable so it's no permanent solution to our energy problems.

If you're talking about Hydrogen Fuel Cells, it takes more energy to split the hydrogen out than it does to recombine them.
Simple thermodynamics.
