But capacitors and other storage facilities can do well. Modern solar cells should be everywhere by now, seen any recently? Throw some decent tax breaks at the manufacturers and installers, cut stamp duty on sales of houses with them, they'd be installed all over the place pretty smartish.<BR/><BR/>Wave power, wind power, solar. We use virtually none. That's stupid. Thing with nukes is that making the plant and transporting the uranium uses up oil as well. Plus, if we're building them, can we really criticise Iran? <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://not-little-england.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="matbowles at gmail dot com">MatGB</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1150316828979508742006-06-14T21:27:00.000+01:002006-06-14T21:27:00.000+01:00One of the problems with wind (most renewables in ...One of the problems with wind (most renewables in fact) is that they cannot produce continuous power. Go into Kernow and you will often see the wind farms not turning. So a backup is needed, in Germany quite a bit of this comes from the abundant atomic power produced in France which they can buy in when there is not enough wind to meet demand, so their power is still without any need for burning fossil fuels.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://strange_stuff.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="">chris</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1149981873494303832006-06-11T00:24:00.000+01:002006-06-11T00:24:00.000+01:00Oh, I'm very much sold on wind farms; I live in a ...Oh, I'm very much sold on wind farms; I live in a predominantly rural, hilly area, I don't 'get' the eyesore objection at all. Admittedly, population density is higher than Germany/US, but I still think we should use them.<BR/><BR/>But thx, that I didn't actually know. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://not-little-england.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="matbowles at gmail dot com">MatGB</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1149976666635071002006-06-10T22:57:00.000+01:002006-06-10T22:57:00.000+01:00You may well be interested to know that Germany cu...You may well be interested to know that Germany currently produces more energy from windfarms than we do from Nuclear power. Out potential wind energy in this country is amazing.<BR/><BR/>Don't believe the Nuclear lies.  <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://jackthomas.livejournal.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="jackthomas at surrealdream dot com">Jack Thomas</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
