A Question – And a Serious One at That

Where and What Next?

 

I serious questions to those Green Minded out there:

 

So Peak Oil, we hit it and traditional oil declines. The answer is then what? Fusion – I think I’ll see old Winston Peters being sober first before Fusion in my time. Fuel Cells – again Winston being sober?
We are now stuck. Cars, trains, ships, planes, buses, large-scale power stations all need a fuel source.

Okay with large-scale power stations we have hydro and nuclear fission (and we keep having resource consents turned down for Dams and Turbines so which way there folks, a dam or a Huntly?)

Ships and Planes, umm we going to go down Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirdspath and have atomic powered tankers and atomic powered hypersonic aircraft (Fireflash) streaking across our sky?Cars, trucks, buses and trains – well what seriously. You go electric on the lot and by 2020 you will need a Huntly 2 through five each producing 1.385GW (current Huntly) to the energy supply up we need.So folks where to next?

 

I know where I am going – FORWARD

And that means another Huntly, another Clyde Dam, The Eastern Highway, The City Rail Link and synthetic fuels! Until the real low to zero carbon alternatives are ready and acceptable
