Since this thread is about Fukushima, can I just mention that if all the power stations in the world could somehow switch to using renewables while all vehicles in the world (bar a tiny few) continued to use fossil fuels, that would STILL be a big boost for the environment.
With power stations you don't need to worry about the same factors (energy density etc) but you do need to worry about other things - load balancing, etc - which is why non-renewable sources are unlikely to go away completely for power stations (unless we get something like a world-wide power grid, which I don't suppose is very feasible). But they could still do a lot better than they are now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
