They been telling on the news the last couple nights that as soon as AI kicks in full speed there won't be enough electricity to go around. That really only means the price is going up to ration it out.

I think where the mistake was made was not letting the electric cars and solar and wind work its way in gradual like they worked in tractors when switching from mules. If electric wind and solar was efficient then the free market would have been the driving force and would have worked in with no unknowns. The way they shut down the pipe lines and started force feeding the electric cars on people wasn't workable in a free market system. But i guess Greta and the Rainman had car production on the way and needed a market. Now they are all dressed up and no where to go. But I guess the lithium will keep somewhere, maybe Fort Knox, lol !

Just me but I would rather finish out my days next to a solar and/or wind farm than next to Chernobyl or Fukushima !
Paducah enrichment plant had contamination problems for years. But those southwest winds in the winter are very refreshing, lol. Maybe as refreshing as farm chemicals in our food and water.

It kinda makes me wonder about the fact my great, great grandpa carried a mini ball in his hip for years and he lived to be 92 yrs of age and his wife lived to be 90 and they both smoked a pipe. And none of my more recent family has lived past their mid 80's.

Not here. You guys gotta build more dams, cleanest power out there and you keep using the same water over and over with multiple dams. If Alberta's $ is oil, our big $ is hydro power.

Not sure what the enviro nuts have more issues with, hydro or nuclear. They are trying get rid of dams across the country, not build them.

Any guesses how far electricity can be sent thru high voltage wire without losing a lot of it. I read 300+ miles ?

Nuclear power plants tooled for producing hydrogen would be nice. I think when hydrogen is used to produce energy it's emissions are only water and heat.

The only problem I have with wind and solar is it should be built in the big cities that use the power

Is Hydrogen a byproduct of nuclear energy production? That would be efficient as heck to harvest that hydrogen and turn it into more power.

Rumor has it a couple of forklift companies are working on hydrogen-powered equipment. I think that’s a little crazy, but seems to be a very clean and abundant energy source.
