Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable
Urchin writes "Although scientists are agreed that we must cut carbon emissions from transport and electricity generation to prevent the globe's climate becoming hotter, the most advanced 'renewable' technologies are too often based upon non-renewable resources including indium and platinum —
resources that could dry up in 10-15 years if they were widely used in the renewable energy market."
you first. start with turning off your pc.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
Is that Vista or Windows 7
*ducks*
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
Fresh install of XP.
Dude, Christian Scientists don't count.
than carbon emissions affecting pirate population.
Funny you should mention pirates. We get pirates seizing tankers of oil and boatloads of weapons, and London gets a blizzard.
Coincidence? I think not. This is simply additional data points to demonstrate the centuries-old connection between pirates and global temperatures.
The data we have on the Earth presents a pretty good picture of warming, and the scientific consensus is that it's human caused. The trend in scientific consensus is also increasingly towards it being human caused.
So not only all do all true scientists agree, but the percentage of scientists agreeing is increasing every day.
Does that mean the true scientists are breeding or something? Should they all believe that overpopulation is a problem, just like global warming?

London gets a blizzard? Sorry. I've been in London for a week now and coming from Minnesota I find it very hard to relate to all of the sentiment by everyone about "oh no, there are some flakes and falling and now no one can drive". It boggles the mind I tell you. A friend of mine here in London (who is from Singapore originally) said he did not have anything to scrape the snow off his car so he had to pull out a broom dust pan. I told him to just use his hand, it's only snow after all not poison. Also stop bitching about the COLD... it's BARELY below freezing so I was able to go with just an insulated flannel shirt whereas everyone else is walking around with several layers and what not.
Oh yeah... renewable energy is a myth so please just vote for clean coal everyone because it must be clean right? I mean it has "clean" right in the name of the energy source so how can you refute its cleanliness, you fickle commies!
ZERO ZERO ONE ZERO ONE ZERO ONE ONE! Just brushing up for my next big invention: Ethernet over Voice (EoV)
But there's no easy and efficient means of stepping the power down.
Why not? You could just wire Germany, France and Italy in series.
