@unfairtrout Oh, you could bury it way underground for pennies! LOL.
But if you know anything about geology, you should know that waste buried a few thousand feet underground is unlikely to stay there over eons. Given the half-life of nuclear waste, are you willing to subject future animals or humans to nuclear radiation?
@unfairtrout 10000 feet? Is that all? When you have oil drillers going down much further than that? But I can see you’re not serious; you couldn’t be. You’re too far gone.
broke it’s breaks & storm made it break
but they drove a wooden stake into the ground after eating a steak and raising the stakes in their poker game
which won them one game earning them lots of cash to increase their 2nd level cache in their computer
OH NOO!!! One single windmill breaks due to high wind velocity. That’s dangerous, windmills are BAAD!!! Now we GOTTA shift over to oil, coal and nuke power and turn our beloved little country into a radioactive swamp.
Hint: I might be sarcastic.
@LordLlurch Here’s an idea: store electricity like they store waterpower: in reservoirs. Actually, that’s not my idea, I read that. Also, you should realize that wind around the country blows at different rates all the time, and also current USE varies all the time. It shouldn’t be that hard for windpower to approximate the same result as a hydroelectric system with a smart grid system. You just have to keep the reservoirs (or whatever storage medium) from running completely out.
@LordLlurch I don’t see any problem with current technology. Storage is storage. Use what has always worked for storage; until something better comes along.
@ThatMiserableCat When the river dries up: no power. None. Zero. Unless we have some windpower to help out. As well as power from other sources. Let’s not be all or nothing here. Use what works. There are lots of ways to generate electricity. Check out what sailors use when they use sail powered craft for long voyages. Windmills! Yep, they charge their batteries that way. It works!
@FarceTheory Actually, I believe that most turbine blades are pitched according to the prevailing speed of the wind at the time. Sometimes you will see a turbine with the blades not turning and you may note the blades are turned parallel to the wind. That tells me that excessive speed should normally not happen at all but for some technical problem where the blades are pitched incorrectly.
@Serafinos Poor Al Gore. With cousins like you, who needs enemies? LOL. He was my president in exile in 2001 but the Supreme court decided not to let Florida complete the ballot count. Attorney Norman Goldman would back me up on that fact.
@bodryn Yeah, and the only thing we would have to watch out from not getting in our heads will be the uncontrolled, extra limps growing out of our bodies.
@bodryn I am just stating that with our current technology it is almost impossible to store large quantities of electric energy, and that batteries are extremely polluting.
Converting it has huge efficiency problems. For now we can only use what we currently produce, but let’s hope in the near future we will have the technology to store mass amounts of electricity. And I’m not talking about a couple of kW for a car, but Terawatts for whole cities.
@bodryn LOL you’re caught up in so much discussions you don’t know what to say to whom anymore.
I have a green energy contract for over 4 years now, financially support Greenpeace and our national environment association, drive my car on biodiesel or pure vegtable oil, and seperate all my waste. glass/paper/plastic/metals/che micals/and biodegradable.

@bodryn Well then bury it 10000 feet underground xD lololololol

This is non renewable energy production!
@stelkin656
yes yes and radioactive is good for you health too
mom look grandpa can turn tv on by snapping his finger !
@bodryn agreed, but then you convert electricity, and store the result. Storing pure electricity still is very hard with our current technology.
@grantourismo0109 Mom: Son, grandpa IS the tv!
@stelkin656 ha ha ha,
you’re right I can’t think of one nuclear incident *chernobyl cough*

@hawkermustang I think I’d rather stand next to Al Gore than to anybody who is hostile towards him. I guess FOX NOOSE must have done a number on him.

@stelkin656 Hmmm. Maybe if we all glowed at night, we wouldn’t need so much electrical power?
@bodryn Yeah, and the only thing we would have to watch out from not getting in our heads will be the uncontrolled, extra limps growing out of our bodies.
@bodryn The problem is that is very inefficient, or polluting.
batteries dont grow on trees.
@LordLlurch I can see you’re not open to anything about wind power. Progress requires forward thinking people. Trail blazers.
dear sir,
that will cost you $ 2million
