Don't they remember the hours that they have sat on their boats on a windless summer evening. Do they think that the windmills will produce energy when there is not enough wind to move their boats? |

D'oh...there are many places where winds are reasonably available and reasonably predictable. A wind turbine does not have to operate 24-7 to make sense. It does to be a reliable source of energy. There is a narrow band of wind speeds where a windmill can operate. To high of speeds and the windmill suffers physical damage. To low and there is not enough energy to turn the prop. Why do you think windmills were abandon 200 years ago as a source power? The carbon capture program is designed to outlaw the burning of carbon based fuels. Its chemistry; for each pound of carbon burned about 4 pounds of Carbon Dioxide are produced. Or, if captured with lime, for every rail car delivering coal, 5 rail cars of carbonates will leave for disposal. Once carbon fueled energy is removed you Must replace it with a continuous, reliable energy source like Nuclear power plants. There are no practical alternatives to mass, continuous, reliable, power production. |

Do they think that the windmills will produce energy when there is not enough wind to move their boats? Just because the windmill may not produce constant power at a constant rate doesn't make unfeasable. And no, the scientists and engineers don't think the windmills will produce energy when the wind's not blowing. Seems sort of silly to answer that question because most would know the answer, but you asked...... |

I would have to think that with a good solid nuclear power program the price would go down. I wonder if it's the norm for people that are using nuclear power to pay more? I know that Georgia has some nuke plants operating, and want to build more. But we only get one bill from a co-op so I don't know. |

I wonder how old is the technology behind that power plant? http://tinyurl.com/czv338 *Also, how much does your nuclear plant contribute to global warming? Which will kill off the population sooner, melting ice caps or the disposal of what is now a very small amount of waste from nuclear plants. Al Gore would have us believe we should be buying caskets already. So do you not believe that man made global warming is real because the right tells you to think that? Do you reckon this is just smoke and mirrors? Why? http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=7856609 Here's the full report, please keep an open mind, read what the scientists are saying.
