Damn California!

Leave us alone! Arnold's doing the best he can... Which isn't saying much. But, uh, hey; Los Angeles has the most gun-related deaths a year! We rock!

I'm rather suprised that we Americans outnumber the brits!

CJ, I'm against most southwestern states on general scientific/environmetnal principle. It simply does not make any sort of sense to put huge cities in the middle of the deasert.... of course.. I'm very glad you all don't live up here

the saddest part TB is, wind powered electric generation could be a mint out there, but the fools won't build them.

the wind never stops blowing in certain locations of the south west.

i have never understood why either

It's not practical, Orph. Maybe for small villages, but for miles upon miles of urban and suburban sprawls, it's really not good. You would have to build countless wind-powered generators to even match the output of any modern powerplant (nuclear?) today. And in the end, it's all about profit. Wind-power won't make any money.

Didn't Simcity teach you anything?

I hear ya Orph, but there are some serious issues with wind power. I think they ought to just build themselves some breeder reactors like they use in france. bingo no more energy problem.... only issue is, they produce weapons grade plutonium, and have a much higher potential for meltdown than american designs [addsig]

Only 15 years until we are using fusion reactors isn't it? They start work on the prototype in either japan or france sometime soon, which they expect to have finished in 10 years, after which they can make a production version.

I was always a bit worried though about the idea of a fussion reactor losing containment and burning off our atmosphere... not sure if it's a real possibility or not though? (I'm looking at you when I ask that, TB )

So am I.

Here's a question, why won't they produce Hydrogen Fuel Cell Plants?? I mean, the car using water was patented by some oil company, so that's why GM and Ford are looking at ways to burn Methonal. But, why wont they (government, companies, so on so forth) develop this further so it can be more efficient then it is already?

I think a power generator that takes Hydrogen produces no heat and has no moving parts is a damn good generator ... but that's just me lol. [addsig]

Profit has nothing to do with product efficiency, only production efficiency. Car manufacturers in particular are notorious for inefficient designs that force you to continue purchasing new products.

hmmm you live in california, but seem unaware of the millions of wind generators already in place out your back door?

i suggest you take a drive up I-15 bud..

Maybe an imitation, but slightly more "contemporary"

so if you make something that everyone wants, and you make it so it last's forever, then you wont get any return customers.

best to make it so that it works good, but breaks after a while, then you'll get return customers.

damn sneaky 'thing makers'
