iNow Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nothing is certain. Costs come down. Fossil fuels bring additional costs borne out by everyone. Renewable energy is absolutely a key piece of the puzzle. As are batteries. We need a way to more easily capture, transport, and store that energy. But what did you want to discuss exactly? Your OP reads like a bot with confused parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's hard to see this ever going beyond a few niche markets, given the considerable expense and labor involved in the fabrication, not to mention the problems of creating a wide availability of electrical generation and transmission. Mr Faraday's device appears to be more a toy than a real solution in providing mechanical power in quotidian uses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust an accountant to organise my holiday, whatever budget I gave him/it/her, it would never be enough to make us both happy...

In my experience pretty much only staunch doubt, deny, delay opponents of addressing global warming seem chronically unable to update what they are sure they know about climate science or climate policy or options for doing something, like renewable energy. Around 3/4 of all new electricity generation being added around the world is now solar and wind, on their merits, as commercial decisions - not out of deep commitment to zero emissions (although the possibility of emissions accountability emerging in the future does figure into investment decisions) but because of this - . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
