Meanwhile in the Real Energy world...

[Zachstar]

While the usual suspects tout fantasies of 100 years of clean coal and oil.. Serious research goes on on how to harness forms of energy that does little to the environment and little to the nations pocketbook...

While a fantasy spreads about "If you just reduce energy we can sustain with what we have" Data comes in about china demanding more and more energy..

While some demand .gov action to pay part of the expensive Li-ion packs for their cars.. Others are researching cheaper and higher energy density storage mechanisms.. A great example being EEstor who managed to even interest Lockmart with its technology..

There is a simple fact of life.. As population grows the energy required to sustain such population grows rapidly.. There is no getting around this with existing technology and any talk of population reduction or reduction of growth is usually an elephant in the room.. Are you going to be the one that mandates birth control?

So while the fantasies get shot down quickly thanks to the internetz people are out designing ways to power the future..

Who likes kites?

I would MUCH prefer a bunch of kites in the air than gizillions of windmills.. Kites are fascinating to watch and power generation kites have plenty of room for a number of different uses (Yes I know it will be 100 percent ads but atleast they can make the ads pretty)
