CTJ> But algae, wind, solar are always just around the corner according to democrats.
Hmmmm. . .
The U.S. Navy is buying algae based fuel oil
(at an obscene price . . .)
Windmill generators are producing lots of watts
(and killing lots of birds . . . .)
(Also not truly reliable enough for base load.)
Duke Energy is talking about installing
'utility grade' solar panel installations.
(Tying up valuable farm land . . .)
Me personally?
Algae-oil should be developed - with an eye to
making it cost competitive. (Oil at $100 a barrel
sounds like it might be getting close.)
Windmills do have a place in our energy portfolio.
But so does nuclear and Nuclear IS base load grade
watts.
Solar panels should be installed on grocery store
roofs, schools, warehouses . . . NOT tying up
acres of farm land. (I believe solar cells, which
make their best watts during peak demand hours,
should be used to generate watts in a decentralized
manner throughout the service area - a few tens of
kilowatts here, there . . . )
Zim.
