@hatemowinglawn
exactly.
simple solutions to what is really a very small problem.

@Seano71
Bottom line.
No loss of property values in areas adjacent to wind farms.

Kill fewer Bats and Birds by changing the color of the turbines so that they do not attract as many insects.

I was right under a windfarm and they noise they make is minimal. Nobody could hear them 200 yards away

@kitrana
yes, huge, when you consider the financing costs of a 5 billion dollar coal plant or 10 billion dollar nuclear project over a decade or more.

idsnt the fact that wind power can be put up very quickly compared to the 10 year time frame of a conventional plant also a big thing in it’s favour?

The time has come for Free energy to be revealed ,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Find this technology at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!
December 16th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Free Energy is real and its here but the coverup is strong, if you are interested in a REAL free energy machine then
just search for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in the youtube video search , it is probably the ONLY working magnet
motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!

@803brando
right – sterling engines are one way to convert solar energy.
December 16th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
@greenman3610 for sure, also, not sure you heard about sterling engines. Stirling Energy Systems got a contract with so cal edison for 30,000 stirling engine systems over the next 20 years. might not be significant but every alt energy source is valuable, some areas where theres no wind they could use stirling systems, or where theres not much sun they could use wind turbines. sorry if i insult your intelligence, i am just excited we, human beings, are moving in the right direction.

@803brando
that’s good news. please let me know about new developments.

@greenman3610 ITER.org, The project is set to be completed in 2013, the first demonstration of the thermal output of fusion will be in 2018. The research has been going on for over 25 years. Its reality, and the research is done.
December 16th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
@803brando
fusion is always, it seems, just 30 years away from reality.

@awreslr2
most of my responses are either to amuse myself at 3 am, or to add something that fair minded lurkers may find useful.
December 16th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
you should have included the thermal out put of controlled plasma burns.The ITER tokamak uses a Deuterium- tritium fusion reaction . 1 litre of sea water has 33 milligrams of deuterium within it. tritium is produced by the Deuterium- tritium fusion reaction, and is captured during the process. It fuels itself in a way. for comparison, a 1000MW coal plant uses over 2 million tones of coal per year, a tokamak fusion based thermal out put plant would use 270 kilos of 2H and 3H per year.

Gosh do I love your videos! And I see you even manage to garner a few of those anti-government anti-Communists to watch and comment. I like your retorts, but I bet that those replies go right “over the heads” of the anti-Communists who seem rather clueless to see the whole picture.

@00dfm00 Many states actually have global Warming funds in their budgets, so obviously the incentive is to have AGW, not against it. The governor of NJ just took the 60+ millions of NJ tax dollars and used it for other projects, I’d judge by his actions that he doesn’t believe it, as many states in the Northeast have had unseasonably cool weather. Last few summers, some of the coolest in recent years. Early 90′s were the hottest, cooling off since then

@00dfm00
I know you think that thousands of independent researchers are all colluding in what would be the grandest hoax ever perpetrated for no apparent reason. Your thought process is EXACTLY the same as the creationists who claim that evolution is a vast scientific conspiracy.
December 16th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
@ctvwr What the hell do you know about my understanding of the ‘scientific process’? I’ve wasted enough of my time with your baseless accusations and assumptions. Good day.
December 16th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
@00dfm00
Your understanding of how the scientific process works is just as flimsy as your understanding of the incentives and goals of various states.
December 16th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
@ctvwr Not conspiracy. Just survival.
December 16th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
@00dfm00
OH NOES! IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!!
December 16th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
@ctvwr My understanding is that it is just a few institutions – that heavily rely on government grants – that have made these claims. IPCC, NASA, University of East Anglia. They collect the work of many, sort through the findings, run it through their own models, and supposedly speak on behalf of everyone. I suspect that all of these 32 national academies of science have everything to lose by saying anything that contradicts AGW.
December 16th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
@00dfm00
At this point no fewer than 32 national academies of science, as well as numerous other scientific bodies throughout the international scientific community, have issued unequivocal statements that climate change is happening, and that human activity is the driving factor. What more do you want? I don’t think you are amenable to any argument, to be frank. No amount of evidence will sway a committed ideologue.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:05 am
@ctvwr If that is the case, then maybe you should be focused on the real problems frustrating the process rather than encouraging more of the same. I.e. government/corruption.
