I find it amusing that it is this enormous need for "charity investment" in
alternative energies, when very profitable alternatives are already at
hand. Both in the US transport and the construction sector, it is possible
to do more than 50% energy savings. This without any negative effects or
reduced standard of living. It is also possible to rapidly and with modest
investments, achieve 40% to 50% contribution from alternative energy
sources. Since 80% of the worlds oil use are in industrial and rich
countries, it is no lack of funds for achieving this, only a lack of
education and political willingness.
New technologies nor charity donations are needed or a prerequisite. The
reason is that all of the above can be achieved by actions that have
payback periods less than 10 years and in many cases less than 1 (ONE!!) year.
We already have example of countries who have done the above at large scale
and proven its viability by successes. As by product, the successes have
also resulted in a greatly improved environment. In EU the automotive
technologies gives nearly 2 times the passenger and transport mileage per
volume of fuel, compared with US. Directives for new building codes in EU,
modelled on Scandinavian codes, give more than 50% less energy use,
compared to US. Why should European rich companies give donations to US, to
get their energy use at reasonable levels and under control?
It is directives in place for EU, that will result in general use of
minimum E10 and B20, within a few years. It is also EU directives in place
that will result in more than 50% use of diesels (with biodiesel) by 2030
or earlier.
Several EU countries have above 15% contribution from wind generated
electricity, compared with less than 1% for US.
US ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE FOR ENERGY GENERATION AND USE IN EUROPE, NOR
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT OR CORRUPTION.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THAT IS NEEDED, EXCEPT RESPONSIBLE AND EDUCATED LEADERS.
YOU DO NOT NEED DIVERSIONS AND SMOKE SCREENS; LIKE HYDROGEN; IF IT IS NOT
TO AVOID/DELAY SOLVING THIS SITUATION.
