Nuclear power is generating nuclear waste which can be cleaned up but it would more than eat into all the profits. Alos you must employ a lot of people and have scheduled outages where a reactor is taken down and the water, bolts all kinds of timely and costly maintance must be done. <BR/>Yes we need to replace plants, especially since so many are lost in fires. Yes we could make better cars if there is more incentive. Why some people insist on driving big SUVs etc. I don't know, and they are usually by themselves, makes people like me worry about getting in an accident with them. <BR/>Hopefully people will wake up to global warming sooner than later. I am glad there is more and more cities, counties etc going smoke free, that will help those of us who don't smoke as well. <BR/>This WH is all for itself, they have raped and pilage this country terrible. But I can go on and on here. Have a nice day.

Actually by calling myself a specialist in latent energy, I meant personal energy...Being a senior citizen, I need a lot of coffee in the AM, which seems to somehow replenish my energy level. I am actually a retired antique dealer. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe that nuclear power plants are a solution to the enrgy problem either. My solutions, if any would be more philosophical. For instance, the most perfect solar energy converter is the plant life on this planet, so should be of primary importance in our considerations. Science will never approach the plant leaf in the production of oxygen from carbon dioxide by photosynthesis.<BR/><BR/>Hydrogen from geothermal sources, solar panels, and wind generators are things that we should be pursuing. And free enterprise must be returned to the people, so that anybody can work on these solutions. For instance...It is a travesty that corporate government won't allow the production of cars that get over 100 miles per gallon.Geezer Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113295.post-89845720342079009362007-02-14T11:13:00.000-08:002007-02-14T11:13:00.000-08:00Nuclear power plants generate steam which the lon...Nuclear power plants generate steam which the long and short of it creates power to move turbines and a lot of chemicals give off latent energy (or heat) alcohols for example. But I am not sure which latent heat you are referring to. By one process (nuclear fission) energy which goes through a water source to create heat which is steam which moves a turbine which the long and short of it creates energy, so I don't know if this is truely latent energy or which type of energy you are referring to? <BR/>But as far as nuclear waste that can be made safer through a lot more processes (yes, more plants, more money etc, costs, costs, costs, people to run plants, people, equipment to transport it) and you don't make money doing this, it just costs, anyhow it could be done but who pays?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113295.post-26477905818744702252007-02-14T09:26:00.000-08:002007-02-14T09:26:00.000-08:00Hi Chicago Native.

I have done some posts on that subject.<BR/><BR/>Many people in Oregon are against LNG ports in this state. The corporate government has been pushing really hard on five proposed sites here. <BR/><BR/>To me...hauling this highly expolosive cargo half way around the world makes about as much sense as hauling ice bergs to Los Angeles to solve water problems. <BR/>We have many alternative energy options to explore, and they would be better addressed if they included "We The People".Geezer Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113295.post-9987258944567654322007-02-13T15:18:00.000-08:002007-02-13T15:18:00.000-08:00I see you are into latent heat.
