Capstone Micro Turbine less than one acre $1400 per KW = $1.4M per MW (The same continuous output for $175M less) And there is money to be made here too look at the stock price for Capstone. Cheap now and by using the cost compairson to convince people to buy more the stock will go up. Simple faster than any other option. Oh yea they don’t have to be conected to the grid that is ageing and in constant need of maintenance.

And as far as fuels for our vehicles go Butanol is the better choice for fermented fuel for the end user, because there is no need to modify or purchase a new vehicle to use it. As far as production numbers go from fermentation it matches yuckanol and one process also produces hydrogen as a byproduct thus making it even more energy productive than fermented yuckanol. If they made Butanol in 1916 by mistake since they were after acetone to make gun powder and the Butanol was a waste product then we darn sure can make it now, with all the tech advances we make in everything els, we can’t seem to make advances in efficency? LS9 and algae “bio crude” are better still than butanol. If all the money were to be concentrated on the best soulition then it will become a reality faster. America is smart enough to figure that out… or is it? Doesn’t seem so when one looks at all the yuckanol plants being built.(At best some of them aren’t useing corn.) Why? Look at every time there is a budget deficit in government what is among the first thing to be cut? Education. I say the first thing that should be cut is the pay for the crooks we elect to represent us. Pay them based on performance. Put them on Social Security and see how fast it gets fixed. Make them use medicare and see how fast that gets fixed. And please pass a law that says if someone in the meida points out a problem and critices a potential soulition then they have to also give a better soulition other wise they just need to shut their hole.

One last question I have is how does 3% of the total CO2 on earth make such a big impact on the warming of the planet?

For some reason, the historical fact that the US managed to build 112 nuclear power plants in the short period from 1970-1990 escapes people. The other piece that really escapes them is the fact that the 104 nuclear power plants that continue to operate today produce more than 800 terrawatt-hours of electricity each year. That electricity has an economic value of between $40 and $80 billion at current electricity prices.

As an interesting side note – the entire US grid produced only about 650 terrawatt-hours in 1960.

It has nothing to do with the quantity of the subsidies – which stopped in about 1990, by the way. It has everything to do with the fact that uranium fission is a reliable source of emissions free heat that can be converted into massive quantities of electricity that is available 24 x 7 x 365 x 0.9.
