You said that before ,direct buy?Is there a website ?then have a company install?
There is no such thing, before you get to plug anything in something has to be converted to energy and that takes energy to build in the first place. We aren't going to ditch coal when the US is going to reopen the coal mines as they have enough coal for 100,s of years. What will be developed is the cleanest way to burn it and eliminate the ash waste product and that might be expensive but there are limited uses including weed control and forest fire fighting as ash dropped via aircraft should setting on the ground and trees to reduce available fuel. It would be adding ash to an area already rich in fresh ash and that acts as a soil sterilizer as it turns into an acid when mixed with water. It might be suitable to mix with clay for fire brick in the furnaces that burn coal and air-tights in the rurals. BBQ's that burn briquets probably add more pollutants to the air than an air-tight burning coal at maximum efficiency. So abundant that it is free at any service station if you bring your own bucket. CO2 is the only other by-product that needs to be 'treated' and that is by planting green things to scrub the air and add 02. We could use ozone more and that reverts to 02 within a few hours so that lowers the CO2 ratio in effect and it is a natural by-product when used by cities for water and waste-water treatment and it can be scaled down a vehicle having a device that delivers a small amount of 02 to the driver and then to the atmosphere in general so in a 24 hour period it pollutes for 4 hours and the is adding 02 to the air for the other 20 hours. When your hair stands up on end and stays there you can dial it back just a bit. The not silver lining is now you have a population that is alert and awake and looking for something to do. That is also something that is not overly expensive when robots take care of the positions that came with wages. The money saved all the way to CEO's bonuses and pension funds can be funneled the 'welfare fund' instead and that also happens to be who the consumers are.
Are they going to shut down Fording and other mines in B.C. and Alberta ? If not we aren't really getting off coal are we .
Yep, at the market rate of 2.8 cents/kWH. Meanwhile today, Sunday November 27th, an offpeak hours day, the current rate for Ontario consumers according to the OEB is 8.7 cents/kWH for the EXACT SAME HYDRO! So no, the US isn't paying us you mathematically challenged doofus, WE are subsidizing THEIR use of OUR hydro.
Right. Silly me :lol:
