North Pole Adventure Travel Tours are Changing to Global Warming and Climate Change Concerns.

This is what I am thinking.  If we stop the war, we will cut the carbon emissions of the U.S. by about half.  Or, the planets emissions by 1/8.  Then if we put the same money into solar and wind fuels, we will cut the emissions of the U.S. by 90%.  With this huge investment in solar power and wind power, the price of solar and wind energy will drop dramatically.

 

When I went through the Mojave Desert, I was looking at the wind farms.  On a few of the about a hundred wind generators were running.  It took me a long, long time to figure out why they weren't running.  It was because they only supplemented the coal, oil and nuclear power.   This was a political move which kept the oil companies in money and drove the cost of wind power way up.  If it's not used and we put it up, then it means that the return on investment was low and politically, they can say that it cost so much that it's not really financially feasible.

 

The cost of ethanol is going up and the food supplies are dropping tremendously, world wide.  The huge flood in Iowa has really damaged the corn crop in that state.  This too is driving ethanol cost way up.  Scientific American Magazine said that the ethanol is good because it consumes CO2 in the process of growing and lowers the Ethanol's real carbon emission amount below what is measured out of the exhaust.  But with food cost going up because we are using ethanol, we are paying for this crop diversion in other ways that can cause real problems in the worlds food reserves.

 

Here's a YellowAirplane article on Tethered airfoils that will increase the efficiency of wind farm by almost ten times and lower the super expensive production cost of tower based wind generators that we are accustomed to now.
