Two things:
Iceman: The real debate is just starting.
Karl: You bring here needed knowledge although I'm disappointed you did not reply to my post re nano membrane capacitors. maybe you missed it.
With all this chatter here about solar/wind and doing your thing the reality is that neither serves the big picture as you point out from a technical background. I'm fully aware of this although I did not know your energy items.
We have had grid collapses here the last was a couple of years ago when a grid switch in Ohio failed collapsing the Upper Mid West USA and Ontario for up to 19 hours (us) fortunately in August which is when we don't freeze.
I too am not against solar and wind power. The only country I know that can do the wind power big time is that little country Denmark and only because it is near that very windy North Sea and only because they have the brains to incinerate garbage for energy recovery ( I was there on that topic in '88) and only because they actually use pig manure as a fuel which leads them to the enviable position of not using non-renewable fuels to generate electricity.
Having said that it must be born in mind that Denmark is a rarity and that is only because it is a very small country. Good on them but try such in massive geography such as Australia and Canada.
Dead in the water at the get go.
And you are correct in that making hydrogen by the only way common which is electrolysis is very inefficient and may I add a very dangerous gas to handle.
As to uranium powered electric plants the greenies cannot have it both ways. Such as these = zero carbon dioxide but nuclear waste disposal. Which side of the knife?
So I say get real people. Cut the GW and get on with cutting air pollution.
