Jim, the thing of it is getting completely away from fossil fuels in the next 100 years is not going to happen. And folks are going to kick the can down the road. I'm not going to spend 65,000 to get a wind generator large enough to run this place. Nor am I going to buy batteries for when the environmentalist forget to turn on the wind! Batteries that are made out of materials strip mined by the way. Materials that are so nasty that they ship them on a ship (that burns fossil fuel) to China and other countries to be processed. Then again on that same smoke belching ship ship it back to be made into batteries. It's not practical. And get this. From an electrical engineer working on man-pac battery powered stuff for the military. The military wants a longer lasting battery. Nothing in the pipeline so they are working hard are making this stuff use less electricity. NO SIGNIFICANT NEW BATTERY TECH ON THE HORIZON! That is the terminology used. Then as I posted. there are about 127,000,000 homes just in the US (times 38 per house I looked it up). How many batteries per home? What about a farm? Or a factory? Plus figure in how many batteries for cars (7100 cells at 6 per battery for comparison= lot of batteries per car) , trucks, construction equipment and farming? That whole idea is smoke and mirrors or the person who envisioned it was too dumb or lazy to research it. We will have stripped the earth bare looking for materials to make enough batteries so we can do away with fossil fuels. And then what? When all the materials are being used? And we run out? Is that when the sick wackos start eliminating human life? Of do we revert to using fossil fuels?
How dumb do you think we are? A 2000 year plan? We have no way of knowing what is going to be here in 2000 years. How would our forefathers have figured our energy needs 2000 years ago? Guess this is all Rome's fault because 2000 they didn't come up with an energy plan for today! Sorry, you can't take a leak on my shoes and tell me it's rain. 2000 year plan..... :lol: :lol: :lol:
