No worries Phil , naturally I would like to see a simple and effective magic bullet(s) for looming energy crisis, like anyone would, but I am just trying to be pragmatic about it. When it comes to heating and cooling - the main volume use of domestic energy - I dont think the renewables are in the game yet.
how do we attract the people we need to this country when we expect them boil in their own juices and go troppo as a regular part of normal daily life in summer? a (like we ALL use too once - does anyone remember when a simple metal fan was for life and extremely expensive? as much comparitively as AC is now even probably ) I don't think that is attractive to a few? overseas people maybe?
Argo: I remember the steam cars too, in fact I think new versions of this idea making a comeback atm - good old current affairs/news tv shows filler/fluff
