Interesting views about the future of energy. Well... sort of. (Must be a slow day in the office.)
CNN.com has posted some interesting comments from bloggers concerning our planet's future energy resources. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/08/23/energy.forum/index.html http://tinyurl.com/25wq3t Here's are two sample blogs verbatum, which ironically were adjacent to each other: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From: Dwayne Fries, Columbus, OH I have been working on the problem of renewable energies since 1999, long before the gas prices got out of control. I have designed two unique features to a solar collector dish that make it far more economical and far more powerful. I was working on putting it into full production when I came up with another idea that was far more powerful. I have come up with a design of a new devise that is much like a microchip. It is very tiny and will draw in heat from the air to convert it into electricity, just like creating minature lightening bolts. I do not have the full design quite yet, but most of the design work is done. Within twenty years, I believe that there will be no need for batteries or plugging anything into a wall. Every kind of electronic devise or anything else that runs off of any type of power supply will simply use the energy that is already in the heat of the air to provide needed energy for all devises. Cell phones will simply work without needing recharging. Cars will run without gasoline. I am very close to having a full design laid out and will be able to start production of the devise within another 5 to 8 years, I am confident. From: Rob Brice, Athens, GA Fusion power is the most likely candidate to meet global energy needs into the far future. The ITER project which has just begun construction in Cadarache, France is going to be a solid step in making commercial fusion power a reality. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Since Paul Lawrence's apparent self-imposed exile from Vortex I wonder if he has assumed a new identity as well. Regarding the ITER blog, hope springs eternally. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
