Groups protest fracking, wind turbines and nuclear power, all of which
are environmentally destructive. The argument against those who protest,
is that we need power. We must have power.
Just protesting is not
enough, where will our power come from if we do not frack, have wind
turbines or nuclear?
Protest groups need to suggest acceptable alternatives. Here
is one:- Solar power and hydrogen. Web search this:- "Instead of Natural
Gas Fracking, We Should Use Solar Power"
"..Anything that uses natural gas as an energy source can use hydrogen.
The current natural gas infrastructure will accept hydrogen without
alteration. Hydrogen, with 70% of the energy release as compared to
natural gas, is less dangerous to store and transport. It also disperses
more rapidly into the ambient air than natural gas which makes a leak
far less dangerous.
However, there are drawbacks to hydrogen. It’s a renewable resource,
so there is no impetus to charge more over time. In fact, the impetus is
to increase the supply to the point that there is a glut, since the
only production cost is the initial investment and production never
needs to end. In addition, a huge installation is not needed to
efficiently produce hydrogen. The same energy is used per cubic yard
whether you produce a cubic yard per day or 100 cubic yards per hour.
There is no economy of scale that applies, which means anyone can become
a hydrogen producer. Further, it’s not limited to major corporations.
In fact, there are plans available on the internet to build effective
hydrogen generators for under $20.00.
Fracking is a dangerous activity which helps only oil industry
executives. It isn’t necessary, it isn’t economically or
environmentally-sound, we don’t need it now, we won’t need it in the
future, and there is no point in using it ever. The same money can be
used to create a hydrogen-based energy economy that is renewable,
ongoing, and scalable. It would be inexpensive and easy to alter our
current infrastructure to accommodate. Is there really a reason not to
make this move?"
HYDROGEN COMES FROM WATER, AND CAN BE EASILY EXTRACTED FROM WATER USING SOLAR POWER. BRITAIN IS FULL OF WATER AND SURROUNDED BY IT, AND GUESS WHAT? THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT FROM THIS PROCESS IS MORE CLEAN WATER!
Here is information about the REALITY of fracking, in the 2nd hour of this edition of the UK Column Live.
For Christ's sake watch it and THINK!
