New bad bill will be passed today , take action now !

[1quasar1]

Hey Bill. I'm going against my word to reply next without studies and conclusions because I'm intrigued and don't have enough time tonight to gather it all. I too, would like to see more nuclear power but that's another can of worms. All things take time and theres no time like right now to start. I also agree that things have not been thought all the way through. That's why we need this dialogue to come to reasonable and agreeable solutions, As for the electric car scenario, incentives to purchase solar charging stations, say a 200 watt panel and 1000 amp hr batteries would be sufficient to charge them would work (5 solar hrs x 200 watts) What amazes me is that tidal power is not the topic of consideration for 90% of the worlds needs as it never stops and is truly free. AH Moon Power! Anyway I think we will get a lot of things wrong until we get it right, but I think we can. As to the reply about decaying grass verses tail pipe emissions, AbbaRue should put a tent over his lawn camp out in it over night after cutting his grass and then the next day tie his tail pipe into it for 5 minutes and see if his facts are indeed true.
Cheers Dave

quasar:

I agree 100% about tidal power.  A few things have been done in this area but, if we put our minds to it, it too could contribute a large percentage and, as you said, totally free.
Of course Greenpeace would claim we were ruining the oceans by doing this.  (You just can't please everyone)  I am totally in favor of exploring tidal power.

@Alan

And they talked on cnn or bbc on how inevitable it is that household energy prices will go up.

Don't worry,
It's hapening here in Australia also at the same time, in September this year, we cannot buy any airconditioner or use an airconditioner rated under 4 stars.

Work this out, a Reverse cycle airconditioner makes a more efficient heat pump than a standard electric radiator, yet the powers that be, (GOV) want us all to ditch our aircons.

There whackos the lot of em.

And they want us all to have this new Government Smart Meter which is supposed to prevent these cross billing errors, but you know that really its so they can monitor directly our electrical usage and charge us for C02 emissions if we go over what they have determined is our household allowance.

And they trialed 500 smart fridges which allow them to turn off your fridge remotely!

They are all done initially as "experimented/trials" then when enough volunteers have them, it will become law.  Don't accept them!  They have made all this global warming shit up just so they can fine us for it!

Hello D, your remarks about the 500 smart fridges opened my eyes, nearly fell off my chair here.

In Australia we have had "smart" hot water controlled systems for 30 odd years, but they said to us, "allow us to turn them off during peak energy usage or for the prevention of load shedding"
To sweeten the deal, they gave us all a rebate on the power bill.

Each house has 2 electrical meters, the first meter feeds to the house power points and lightning circuits.
The second meter feeds ONLY to the hot water system.

Now I got a question, if the energy costs so much to make it, how can they turn around and give us rebates? flyes in the face of their policies lol.
