I love it. People aren't making the choices I want them to make so let me try and force them to do it through government policy.



You have a lot to learn about economics and how effective your little plan would be.

What's more amazing is how he reaches for the tried and true "tax 'em" mentality before he considers other options. How about tax incentives? How about government funded research on these technologies so that people have choices to make?

The moment I can get the same convenience, performance and price out of an electric or biofuel car, I'll sign on the dotted line. But now...who can blame me for making a choice to use a conventional vehicle? Hybrids cost much more. Biofuels are just beginning to be deployed into the market. Electric cars are a joke in terms of performance. You've got to give people a real choice. When you do, they'll do the right thing for the environment.

I guess I didn't think I was arguing semantics. You seemed to be suggesting that hurricanes can develop instantly. Maybe I missed your point.

California has great incentives to put solar panels on yur home- but it still costs about 9k out of pocket.... but hey- it's a start.

Biofuel cars, electric cars.... man, compare the model T to today's nissan maxima. Tech will get better... . It's at the early stages, but it's coming along...

Are you interested in buying? I have a nice condo, built of steel and concrete, right on the lagoon, and it can probably resist a nuclear blast, much less a hurricane. It has hurricane shutters, so no need to nail up boards. My town (melbourne) actually got a direct hit from Frances in 2004. This was inconvenient, because I'm from the Northeast and had just moved down that summer. But I had plenty of time to evacuate. In fact, I waited until the last moment. Hurricanes go like 15mph. My car (of the time) could go much faster, especially when I-95 was empty.

Hurricanes are something Floridians know all about. There's a known, documented 27 year cycle. (I think it's 27 years, or about that). The only thing that upsets me about Katrina is that the government is so inefficient about fixing anything. They knew it was coming, they lived in reclaimed land. . . you have to expect that sometimes things aren't going to go your way.

Meh, by the time that severe hurricanes might become byproducts of global warming (if that actually occurs, hurricanes are caused by temp gradients, which may well be reduced by global warming) I'll probably be living closer to you, in NoCal.

I have solar panels and a hybrid car. cost for 2.6kW system consiting of 18 BP solar panels 14,000.-(21,000.- invoice) installation included. I make 14 - 21 kwH/day. The panels have a 25 year warranty. (it is not known how long they last, the first ones from the 60s are still operating)
If I put 14,000 into a savings account @ 5% I only get 700/annum. My panels make me about 1,400/annum or about 10% return, completely inflation proof. When energy prices go up my divident goes up as well.

1 kwH solar saves about 1 pound of CO2 emission.

Nice. I think my dad is looking to install some solar panels, but the sunshine and the incentives in Maryland are less appealing.

*Sits and waits for this technology to mature*

Seriously though, the home solar panel tech is looking better and better. Unfortunately I don't remotely have the money to install it any time soon. Would be interesting to have solar panels on a house built in 1912 though, talk about advancing technology! The roof faces east/west, would that be a negative factor? I know solar hot water panels benefit greatly from a southern alignment.

Are you talking to me specifically, or the original poster I replied to? I am well aware of tropical storms, or tropical cyclones, or Typhoons, seeing as I am a coastal engineer (or Research Hydraulic Engineer) for the last 20+ years or so! Also know a fair amount about ENSO, and it's potential consequences, ocean buoys used to measure ENSO (the only current surefire way to predict occurence and intensity of ENSO's BTW).

But my point- you have to start somewhere.....


and it's definitely close- it's becoming not only more attractive- but more viable. I see hybrids all day out here in Cali. They made it so you can drive in the car pool lane as well.

It's all about incentive sin the mean time- but soon enough it will be the norm and incentives won't be necessary.

Electricity costs 0.07 / kWH, so your calculations are off

17.5 kWh/day = 6392 kWh/year = $447/year (3.2%/year, even after a government subsidy that gets added to your tax bill).

It basically means "big wind." There are numerous spellings, "taifoon" is neither usual or unusual, but can be tai'fun or tai'foon, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous asian origin spellings for "big wind." Of course, typhoon will get you tens of millions of hits on google versus hundreds for the other forms, AFAIK.

But there are CO2 emissions from the extraction and processing of fuel prior to use in a reactor, there are CO2 emissions from the perpetual need to store the waste products afterwards. Nuclear is even less sustainable than coal...

Here is a little more info before you all start bashing me.

•\tTwo 1MWe power stations, one nuclear, one coal
•\tStations need 27 tons of uranium fuel (200 tons of U3O8), 3.3 million tons of black coal annually
•\tNuclear waste is 3% of the 27 tons, treated by the supplier at its cost
•\tCoal waste is 7 million tons of CO2, 200,000 tons SO2, plus toxins in ash
•\tNuclear industry saves 2.4 billion tons of coal waste pa. Coal plants still emit 7 billion tons pa
SAFETY: Coal plant deaths 6,400; Hydro 4,000; Natural Gas 1,400; Nuclear 31 in 13,000 reactor-years

And I forgt something. Just think of thousands of high paying jobs that would be created. Talk about a boost for the economic future of the country and the world for that matter.

Welcome to the fossil fuel club!

In that case all alternatives are moot, since those fossil will always exist until used. The point is to reduce rates of CO2 emissions, by substituting lower CO2 emission fuels, nuclear is one option towards that path. Nuclear is available to us today, and if plant construction/operations are standardized, is the next cheapest alternative to fossil fuels.

If you are serious about attempting to solve the global warming problem, all options must be on the table.

Remember that it took nature several hundred million years to build up that stored carbon, that potential energy, man wants to consume that in a span of several hundred years, that's six orders of magnitude faster than it was deposited!

We can't stop that, but perhaps we can slow it down!

As I recall, breeder reactors were the up and coming next generation of the nuclear industry in the late seventies, but they were deemed to dangerous because the fissel material is excellent weapons grade material. Our nuclear phyisist president Jimmy Carter put the kabosh on them.

We are still pushing up to a wall... at least fossil fuels have the chance of being regenerated in 4 M years...

Solar is the way to go, be it wind, direct photovaltic current, etc....

These technologies you speak of may be economically feasable for residential consumers of electricity, but I do not believe they are for heavy industry. Maybe in seventy years when we will have exhausted the known supplies of uranium.
The ammount of wind mills and solar panels that would be needed to make the ammount of energy produced at one 500 mwe nuclear plant would be way too many.
I really don't know enough about photovaltic current to commet on that.

I know that GE makes wind generators that produce drom 1.5 to 3.6 mwe, but where are we going to put all of these wind mills. You need a lot of acerage for a wind farm. And lots of people do not like the eyesore that they are. I believe it to be the same for solar panels

Do people like the eye sores of Nuclear power plants? or the large areas that are made uninhabitable by their presence?

That is a retarded argument.

Put wind farms on the US highways, for example.

All I am saying is, it going to take one hell of a lot of wind mills to make almost 97,000mwe which is produced in the USA by nuclear now.
Is wind power reliable? I don't know.
