makes it too expensive, but instead they reward tabacco growers for knowingly growing a money-losing crop with corp. welfare. Why is the ‘free market’ failing to respond to the demand for Prius plug-in cars? http://www.sciencefriday.com/kids/sfkc20050422-2.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_hybrid_electric_vehicle Why aren’t solar panels dc like the cell phone/iPod solar chargers? Instead you have to buy a whole lot of components, which prices using solar power too high for too many people. The bamboo bicycle in Sunset mag costs a thousand dollars http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/environment/bamboo-bikes Oil was & still is being subsidized, like tobacco, & too many other things, why are they dragging their feet & acting like the horse & buggy crowd & holding on to the past, instead of investing in the future? Arnie out in CA could take Detroit’s auto industry away & start creating jobs making better, more efficient cars-why hasn’t he? The Tesla electric sports car is made in CA

Make an air conditioning system for homes and cars that is solar powered? How about a heater powered by cold weather?

I’m looking for some details and sketches of portable wind turbine for mountain climbers so they can use it in mountains where there are winds to produce electrical energy.

I have the idea but need some help and money to do it. and I don’t want to be killed by oil companies. I am talking free power for your cars. drive for free. Run your semi without stopping for fuel. I don’t need a job, I have one. But I do want some money for my effort

Personally, I like the look of wind turbines. Maybe it’s my partial Dutch heritage coming through. But, I am concerned about reports saying it kills migratory birds. How serious is this drawback?

Bohemian_Garnet_Permaculturalist asked:


My husband works on the commercial wind turbines. We get to read all sort of interesting articles/magazines put out for those who work in the wind turbine industry.

They now have a working prototype of a wind turbine that not only produces energy, but also produces hydrogen. Of course this is on a wind turbine based in the ocean. The prototype is near Denmark.

Wind turbines generate power via the wind. The power is then trasmitted down power lines, and into the power grid. Sometimes wind turbines are generating too much power for the power lines to be able to accept, because the wind is very strong that day.

Now instead of that power being wasted, it’s being used at the wind turbine in the ocean to make hydrogen. There is also of course a holding tank for the hydrogen as part of that wind turbine now.

The plan is to have a lot of these hydrogen producing wind turbines in place, and have a boat go out and pick up the “free” hydrogen.

Thoughts, opinions?

Australia has a huge, sparcely populated centre, I think its fairly windy. Why dont they build a massive wind turbine farm to provide all the power that they need?
