[QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [QB] Isn't it more like you have to raise them not to believe it can't be done, glass.....? Or at least not to demand it be done the way it is now. Of course, that is the case with so many things. There is no reason with wind and solar energy and using storage methods beyond the same batteries that great granddaddy had that we could not build homes (and other buildings) that simply wouldn't need to be tied to a wire to some power company, thereby, saving the overall economy billions every year to just maintain the existing lines. Add to that some serious effort to perfect and improve combustion engines and fuel cells that use only hydrogen and we are talking a savings of many trillions per year while we make a real effort to clean up and save the environment. Personally, I really like the idea of using the "Sterling Cycle" (http://www.reference.com/search?q=sterling%20cycle) for air conditioning, both cooling and heating. they are far more efficient than what we have now and can be powered by just about anything from water pressure to a Great Dane harnessed on a treadmill and teased to action with a raw pork chop held just beyond his reach. Consider the possibility of spending the day powering a Sterling engine, for cooling, with solar power and using the excess electricity from a tall building covered in solar cells to pump water in a storage tank in the basement to another atop the building, then through the night powering that Sterling engine with the stored energy of the water on the roof. There are so many ways to improve our plight by forgetting the stagnation that we have come to accept as absolute......and not just in improved agricultural practices. It may not be a question of "raising people to understand how to do that", but raising politicians to understand that the General Electrics and Alabama Powers and ConEds and Enrons do not have or want real answers.
