23. Not feasible my a&§!
Heard about a German study that was conducted on a middle-sized city which said that if you picked only the best suited roofs (20% of all), put solar energy panels on them, they could power over 70% of the city. It was called "SUN-AREA", you can google it but links will be in German probably...

Or energy towers like the one that is built in Australia to power 200,000 households (!). 1000 meters high, with a large glass/plastic panel surrounding it above ground, the air heated under the panel flows through the tower/chimney, powering turbines.

There is a smaller tower like this already in Spain for experimental purposes and the idea for this came up in the 30's (!)


There are plenty of ideas for clean energy, many of them becoming more and more "feasible". And all the research done so far was done DESPITE the governments not because they encouraged it.

There is enormous money interest to keep things as they are so, by god, don't believe this bulls&!t that clean energy is not feasible and decades away.

The last 3 decades were wasted (on star wars and other "brilliant" crap) and now the same people who wasted them, tell us that all this is not feasible or decades away.

F&%k them!


PS : the cartoon nails that perfectly!
