Because green technologies are simple in concept does not mean that they have
been simple to implement. Hence, no neighborhood stirling or carnot engines,
fuel cells, photovoltaics, wind turbines, joe newman machines (whoops! how'd
that get there?) biomass gasification. This stuff is expensive, its has been
in the past several decades, trouble prone,and more importantly, these
technologies have produced all the joules of a dead gibbon.
Fusion is and has been pimped as always being around the corner, we both
agree on this. A process to suck up carbon makes it viable economically for
things like tertiary oil (heavy oil recovery) as coČ is a supercritical
working fluid to extract the copius amount of heavy oil and thus driving down
the price.
What do I want? Clean, abundant energy. What will I have to settle for,
energy.
