Rep. Rodney Davis (R – Illinois) said, (quoted from interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS Newshour, 2021 April 1, at about 22:00 point) “The problem is, we still have to have base load generating capacity. That means nuclear facilities that actually have zero emission just like the one in Clinton, Illinois. We also make sure

These Azelio Stirling Engines are high efficiency and use molten aluminum to store heat for later use. Matt Ferrel Indecided https://youtu.be/Be3FckQoDws One thing that he didn’t bring up is that it’s not necessary to change the reciprocating motion of the Stirling engine’s piston to rotary motion. The reciprocating motion could be used to move a

From TSLA group – about hydrogen from my blog previous to this one. Nick Carrière Said, “…fundamental flaws with hydrogen vehicles…” Well, first off ‘converting to AC for a motor’ is necessary for battery EVs, too. But the losses are only a few percent either way. Said, “Total energy losses are several times higher…” That

Also on FB group The govt should fund a plant for electrolyzing green hydrogen from water. This should be able to soak up all the power from renewables that otherwise would be curtailed during off-peak demand times. The whole idea is to get the ball rolling on green hydrogen production without putting load on the

From FB reply Nuclear power plants are too expensive and are being taken out of service and decommissioned. The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station is being decommissioned at a cost of 4.4 billion dollars and will take 20 years. LCOE levelized cost of energy is how a utility judges its generating assets. Nuclear and conventional

Which pollutes more? This video shows how much the oil and gasoline industry pollutes. https://youtu.be/1oVrIHcdxjA
Tony Seba & co-author talk about the decline of coal and conventional energy, the incorrect predictions of the EIA, and how much cheaper renewables plus storage are and will be. Quotes: << …the costs of solar, wind plus storage will fall by another 70% by 2030. What natural gas did to coal in the 2010s,
