Well, yesterday I said I may write about renewables and so I thought why not? I’m not against renewables - why would anyone be against energy from the sun and the wind or the tides? I just have a bit of a problem with the idea that, We can get rid of fossil fuels and nuclear for base load generation,
You’re right, there are many other ways to better energy production. Ie, they could unlock the zero point energy patents and the other 6000 patents we are not allowed to have. Says Nicola Tesla.
My grandfather didn't have electricity upstairs (S. Wales 1970s), I recall as a kid going to bed with a candle. It was freezing in that house. I have long considered a hot bath or shower a luxury. In short I think the populous have been made too comfortable. My Dad would stand there shouting one of his mantras 'if I stood here burning pound notes, you'd think I were mad, turn the bloody lights off!!' I too when out in my California Ocean (bereft of solar panel) tend to overnight near rivers as this serves my washing needs, it is the old boy scout in me. The leisure batteries work well for at least 3-4 days.
As a mechanical design engineer, necessity is the mother of all invention, the human spirit is highly adaptable, conformity kills creativity, therein lies the problem of State involvement. I hate design by committee under corporate 'protocols'. I'd often lauded the notion and quite loudly , usually when brewing at the tea station, so as to have an audience, that said directives were little more than communistic diktats. I do agree the renewals thing is a grift currently. More 'wind and piss' yet another of my father's mantras!
