Green Electricity?

Posted on: 07/23/2009 21:34

Thought of the day:

What powers electric cars? Well, electricity of coarse.
But how do we make electricity? It is created when turbines rotate, converting kinetic energy to electricity.
So, What makes turbines rotate? Most commonly, steam.
How do we create steam? We boil water, generally by the burning of fossil fuels (oil, gas, ect.)
But wait, that means electric cars require a burning of fuel?

Of coarse, It is still vastly more efficient than you're average SUV, but that's not the point. The point is, it all comes down to fuel.

What we need is a cleaner form of fuel. There are so many renewable resources out there, and we are even using many of them, but not near as much as we are capable of. These renewable resources should be the primary source of our energy.

Windmills and water wheels could be so effective. I know they aren't always reliable, but if there were enough of them, we could store energy in generators, for those windless days.

Green cars are great, but if we're going to use electricity we need to make it first. The top priority should be creating that energy in a much greener way. Green electricity.

Thats my though.
What's yours?

What about providing homes and businesses with the means to produce their own wind or solar power? The electricity produced could power their site first and feed the excess into the grid in exchange for units of power when they can't produce. Overall the electricity would be greener and 'dirty' power plants woudn't be used as much.

Gould,

Your thinking ... that's an improvement over a blind business corpus-le that is drawn by heart alone ... moor money honey ... fer me not you to chew upon! There is not a problem that cannot be solved by a balanced mind ... not ones led primarily by monotheism of the heart. That's a one sided event ... not empiric in balance of the significant others mostly ignored by powers ... is power blind in desires ... product of conspiracy of ignorance ... blackout of sects as a sign? Do authorities hate the deuce ... like Janus ... two-sided Idealisms?

Green energy ... phosphoressence on the sea ... Saint Elmos fire? Where did it come from and how many years did it take to accrue in the tar pits of time? Could we do it more efficatiously than efficientbusiness that uses energy up in a flash without a thought? Imagine mankind burning half of all that oil in approxiamately 100 years. Think about it in limits ... unless we change some alien persona is going to put our lights out in GeoGaia ... can you figure on the enigma in the Mir that doesn't think ... outside the Box Scenerio?

If you renovate your 1000 sq. ft. bedroom and its so nice to live in ... what the 'elle is the rest of that house space for? 3000 -5000 ft homes big bull chit eh? Do yah heat that space cheaply? Has a man fallen from space any room to think? Weird enig-maw, shadow persona! I gotta git ouda ear! Freudian theory ... m'nkind carries a death wish! Isn't that the devil looking for a way out of unlimited expansionism in a mortal place? Then the devil must be a thinking bod' in a monotheist dimension ... careful gouls ... they'le get cha!

I was packaged off early because business said I thought too much. Is a smart as is hated by mankind. Funny thing, my employer supposedly sold knowledge not consumables ... an odd enigma ... forrunner to God's according to WEBSTER ... perhaps too much of Gods are not healthy without a questioning thought (II Thess 5:21)? One should ponder that depth of Dark Pool about the sante' of the sole ... healthy mind in mete afore state! The d' mons giggle as venues to loosing ID for IT a love to dais for ... decide, or is that dei cide? To die laughing over attempted failures! Tha'seman ticks ... Karob beadle ... words ta bug yah!?

In Ontario, where I live, about 80% of the electricity comes from either nuclear or hydro, neither of which add CO2 to the atmosphere (and over the last few years, wind capacity has also been added which may increase this % a bit). So yes, this is much better than gasoline (or biofuels) in its CO2 emissions.
