MORON!!! Tell me HOW you are going to HEAT all that water to make STEAM?[/QUOTE
Again, steam on a small and mid size scale is more beneficial and efficient. Wind, solar, bloom box generated electricity, and other noncombustible methods can heat water to generate steam.
Tornado alley has not been recognized as a valued method of generating power. Mobile windmill systems, or well-placed land based windmill systems also using Artificial wind generating systems can produce an enormous amount of electrical energy.
These tornadoes have paths though the Midwest that are seasonally predictable. Tornadoes have cost Americans many lives and much property, when do we decide to get something beneficial from these natural occurrences?
Uh, my first thought was I will read, my second thought is your an idiot.
Nothing beats economies of scale.
I guess you most likely did not guess I am an EPRI QDA Level IIA did you.
You are ignorant of what you speak.
Windmills, Solar, Geothermal are addressed and as of yet not one person on these boards has disputed my posts concerning these sources of pollution, I do not say power because since we began using these sources of waste over a hundred years ago all they have created is waste.
You cannot describe these as medium sources of steam, at best all three put together are as insignificant as your breath when compared to the steam a Nuclear Power Plant creates.
Imagine Nagasaki destroyed with one bomb 65 years ago, imagine all the advances in Nuclear technology, all those advances are solely to heat water until it makes steam, imagine being able to destroy entire cities and than harnessing that energy to make steam. That is what Nuclear power is, the energy of a Nuclear bomb harnessed to make steam.
Please explain how a windmill farm compares, it does not, never will, wind farms will never equal one percent of the power of the smallest nuclear power plant.
As far as danger, what a joke, right now at San Onofre spent fuel literally sits on the beach where people sun bathe, where the greatest surf contests are held, ever here of Old Mans, Trestles, thats right the spent fuel from the lifetime of one of our earliest nuclear reactors sits right on the beach, ever hear of one complaint, if this waste was one tenth as dangerous as you implicate how come you did cite this hazard. Simple, you do not know what you talk about.
Right now I will go to sleep and than wake so I can inspect the greatest steam generators on the Hudson river, a crew of folks will acquire the date on site and than transmit the data to me, I will analyize the data and send my results back to the plant, what I do will determine if the Nuclear power plant runs tomorrow, yet it will run, it has new Heat Exchangers and through the best engineering in all of the power industry, it will run as flawless as the radiator in your car. Another heat exchanger.
Wind Turbines on the other hand are completely unregulated resulted in 1000's of tons of toxic waste, its called the manufacturer of fiberglass, the mining of boran, the drilling of oil to provide the propene to make fiberglass.
Read the threads, all this information is right on this website if you really wish not to be one of the ignorant.
