Clean Coal. That is an oxymoron if I ever heard one. This is a bill of goods special interests would sell to our new President.Still fossil fuel.
Tell it to the miners with black lung. To the widows of buried miners.
There is the sun there is the wind (always at the beach).
Renewable.
When there is no sun (rainy day) and no wind, we still have
The power of water.
Water Runs. Water moves. Water is a force to be reckoned with.
Here in the Northeast, we have no shortage of it.
It runs underground all the time. Even in winter; it doesn’t freeze underground, at 65 degrees.
The ocean tide comes in then it goes out. with force. All our rivers and streams brooks lakes and ponds run to the sea. Our sewers. We don’t have to worry about ruining that ecology. We as people use water everyday. To drink to bathe to flush to do laundry and dishes. Where does it go? To the sea.
In cities every time we flush a toilet, do a load of dishes, our laundry, take a shower or bath: Water Runs. Could we harness the energy this produces to make electricity? Every family could contribute to its own energy independence. Could we use a step system to continue to harness it on its journey? There are many underground streams. We would not be harming the ecosystem. Could we make the parts from a material that would not change the quality of the water? Water runs downhill, it will run uphill if the pressure is right-the Romans built aqueducts just for that. If dropped from great height it can make alot of electicity.
Our forefathers used it to grind flour. Water wheels. I seen a TV run off a bike. I could make a waterwheel from soda cans. What is stopping us from using it on a grand scale? How many jobs would that create?
The power of wind-barn fans were round, small and designed to run without electricity. Could they be used to generate electricity? How about the larger ones? Weather vanes?
Solar. Like wind in the northeast we only get this half the time-still could we generate part of our power needs from what is available?
Could we harness the power of methane? It is something we all have in common. I saw a farm run off the methane created by all the poop. I hear frozen methane farmed from the ocean depths would be a extremely efficient relatively unending source.
And if we generate electricity could we use it for our cars? I saw a three wheel car for three thousand dollars- runs 120 miles to the gal. or is electric. Look up scooters, you’ll see it. What is stopping us? Who is stopping us? Am I missing something? Its late-
