Far away windmills

[craeg]

Don't like them and the inland ones are not very efficient. But they do look nicer than a coal fired power station. We do need lots more power than ever before so we need to find a clean replacement for fossil fuels.
Did Anyone see the report that scientists have managed to produce crude from alge utilising a much quicker process than previously. No bad by-products either. Lots of promise with this technology. Only thing is, the big oil companies will probably disappear the technology

I don't mind them. Personally I would rather see thousands of wind turbines than one nuclear power station.

I would like to see consumer demand reduced to the point neither are needed and that demand can be satisfied by covering all industrial and other ugly buildings in Photovoltaic cells!

Love to see the data on that idea John. Personally as I've said before you'll have to snatch my gadgets and gizmo's from my dead hands and there is no need to cut back if we started building nuclear stations.

Yup, big oil is good at burying technology in various ways including murder, Stan Myers being a good example. Energy shortage, what energy shortage?

I watched this presentation on releasing energy from water yesterday, very interesting, particularly the plasmoids:

Related closely is what Dr. Gerald Pollack has been finding in the department he heads at the University of Washington.

So we don't need windmills, PVs or dirty power stations after all, we could have our own clean independent power plants. Now wouldn't that challenge the status quo, hummmm. I wonder why this hasn't been developed. Same reason J.P. Morgan shut Tesla down I'm guessing, you can't put a meter on it!

Thorium reactors is another safe, abundant and viable technology that has also been ignored and suppressed. Can't make nukes from this tech. of course!!! Current nuclear tech. is extremely dangerous in many different ways as demonstrated recently and not so recently in Japan.
