“Know What We Need?”
I have been on this planet a long time and I have been hearing that phrase ever since I was a kid.
I hear it sometimes many times a day, from everyone who thinks about running for Town Council up to and including the President of the United States.
“We need clean and affordable energy.”
Let me tell you something about energy. It comes at a price.
We generate electricity in a number of ways but in all but one we need to crank a generator. The exception is a solar panel, the photovoltaic conversion of sunlight energy into a flow of electrons.
We crank generators with a turbine powered by steam, water, wind or burning fuel—the jet engine.
With the exception of wind and water all the other systems use steam made by heating water by burning hydrocarbons or heat generated by the decomposition—fission—of nuclear material.
Generators turned by jet engines burn either gas or burn refined jet engine fuel.
Those are our only options. The dream of generating heat from fusion, the squeezing together of hydrogen atoms to form helium with the byproduct of heat only occurs on stars. The best minds on the planet have been attempting to achieve this for decades but have failed. The temperatures and pressures required are not attainable on a continuous basis.
Now to some of the reasons why we will not have “clean and affordable energy.”
The best deal that you can get regarding energy is to hang your wash on an old-fashioned clothesline but your neighbors and environmentalists don’t want to see your underwear flapping in the breeze like Tibetan prayer flags.
Neither do they want to see wind turbines against the skyline on their hills.
Neither do they want to see solar panels on your roof or in your yard if there is not enough sun that hits your roof.
Neither do they want to see dams on the rivers.
Neither do they want to see power plants and transmission towers on their favorite beach.
So to keep saying, “We need to find new ways to generate clean and affordable energy”, accept the fact. There are no new ways.
KNOW WHAT WE NEED?
“Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.”
Looks good on a Christmas card but it ain’t gonna happen anymore than we will get affordable and clean energy.
It’s esthetics versus utility.
It’s wishes versus reality.
