With the exception of nuclear power generation and the possible
futuristic development of
hydrogen fuel cells, there is really nothing on the horizon now or in
the foreseeable future
that will replace fossil fuels as being the primary source of
electrical energy production.

Having been involved in an industry that has seen three major spikes
of solar power interest,
(the first being in the late 70's), the efficiency of solar panels
has gone from from about 8 percent
to about 15-18 percent in the last 35 years. It needs to be triple
that to be a realistic contender
to replace fossil fuels.

Wind? Forget it. The largest operational wind turbine (in Germany)
produces 5MW of power
under ideal conditions (wind speed of 30 mph). Most of the time the
output is much less.
The USA uses 3,741,000,000 MW/hr/yr of electrical power as things are
now. That doesn't
include replacing fossil fuel sources with wind generated power to
charge batteries in automobiles.

All of that seems quite obvious. Batteries will likely NOT be the most
efficient storage medium, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be
used in the interim.

Oil is on its way out. Period.

Unless somebody can give me a viable alternative, I'm sticking with
electricity as the next fuel.

Electricity is a product made from mostly fossil fuels.

Shhhhh, that's not as impressive at the cocktail parties...

You stupid fool! I guess you've never heard of hydroelectric, nuclear,
solar, wind, etc.? Or is it that FOX or your insanity is telling you
that they don't exist?

You're the fool. With the exception of nuclear, the generators you
mention are VERY MINOR players. Your arguments are not arguments at all.
Just cries for attention.

What are you babbling about?
In a few short years of building we now get almost 30% of our
electricity generated from windmills and hopefully the remainder when
we can figure out how to harness the power of the Fundy tides.
Renewable endless supply... much more than this province will ever
need. Maybe we'll sell a few megawatts to y'all south of the border.

You're taking "Oscar" too seriously. He's just another version of Snotty

I think this is much more interesting: "Renewable energy in the United States accounted for 14.3 percent of the domestically produced electricity in the first six months of 2011.[1] Hydroelectricity is the largest producer of renewable power in the United States. In 2009, the U.S. was the world's largest producer of electricity from geothermal, solar and wind power and it trailed only China in the total production of renewable energy."

Sounds like the good old USA is doing pretty well.

In the scheme of things, your province isn't even a speck on the electricity map.

Besides: "At the end of 2011, wind power generating capacity was 5,265 megawatts (MW), providing some 2.3% of Canada's electricity demand."

"In provinces like Nova Scotia, where only 12% of electricity comes from renewable sources..."

I think this is much more interesting: "Renewable energy in the United States accounted for 14.3 percent of the domestically produced electricity in the first six months of 2011.[1] Hydroelectricity is the largest producer of renewable power in the United States. In 2009, the U.S. was the world's largest producer of electricity from geothermal, solar and wind power and it trailed only China in the total production of renewable energy."

Sounds like the good old USA is doing pretty well.


You mean the liberals are making up windmills to chase, like Global
Taxing???
