The Power companies would switch to green power in a heart beat ( in part or in whole) if it would produce cheaper power for the consumer.
That's the point, it's not economical under any scenario!!

You ever see the wind farms in southern Alberta?
They are huge!
We will be able to power all of western Canada in a few years.
And a lot of Montana and most of BC
They are absolutly huge, and still growing.
All the Power to power the C-Trains in Calgary all come from wind power.
When they made talk of that about the ELF Radio towers in the US they where tagged conspiracy nuts and banned from the forums.
Anyone died yet from it?
Like fracking,everyone whines about how bad it is but no one can actually post where it resulted in a fatality.
Cool. We buy wind power from AB cheap and we sell hydro power to the Yanks and rake in the dough.
That's the litmus test for some people that can not fathom the larger picture.
It doesn't matter what other costs that may be applicable, environmental or health wise.
It dudn't kill no bodies yet, so all's good in Alberta, durp.
It's a ridiculous position to take.
Can't say that I have considering that some of the largest users include Germany, China, and India. This is selective use of data, as the US for example is also the largest user of carbon fuels. Maybe you are simply looking in the wrong direction.

I have deer whistles on my truck. Seems to make the deer stay away.
As far as sound having a negative effect on people goes, there's this effect called "white noise" http://simplynoise.com/ that might help out.

You have no idea how this works or how crazy it is,not many do,Alta sells power to BC,they sell it to the usa or back to us when we need it.Power flows both ways on the Alta/bc grid and also to the states.
When Im not working in the oil patch I work for Altalink,they operate all the big transmission lines into BC.
Since deregulation it's only going to get more expensive for power.
I know it is going to get brutal soon for prices,that's why I want to go total solar in a year,get off the grid,these power companies are going to make a lot of folks homeless.
I see enough of the seniors in my small town getting the red tags from enmax that their power was shut off for non payment.
Very sad,10 years ago they would phone and maybe arrange a payment plan,now they just cut them off.
Those deer whistles dont work,I got the wife a set,she hit 2 deer,got the car fixed,new whistles,hit 2 more deer the next week.
Those deer whistles work like a champ. You have to install them correctly mind you.

roflmao How would you know what I have an idea about or not? I don't think you have any idea about how I work nor about how crazy you are.
Sorry, but BC gets no power from the States.
Kind of funny, but I think the whistles also keep small critters and large birds (like those low-flying aircraft called great horned owls) away from my truck. I bet if those wind whackers had one or two on them, critters would stay away. It'd be worth a try anyway.
