"Bullshit" was a television show on HBO. The Hosts wee Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller. I wasn't saying that Bjorn or his opinions (factual statements?) were bullshit. To clarify, not all, but some Republicans, Conservatives, and/or Libertarians say that the environmental movement has disrupted attention that could be given to economic and health problems. It is thought that saving endangered species' habitats gets in the way of building hospitals, power plants, etc. Make more sense?

It's kind of funny that you have completely disregarded Bjorn as "bullshit". But how is this?:"As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning." - Vaclav Klaus

This guy was on Penn and Teller's "Bullshit" playing out the role of one of the 'experts.' Basically, there's a movement against environmentalists, painting them as know-nothing hippies, with economics and health-care as the victim of ignorance.

It's possible to do today, but it is not a very streamlined process. Zoning laws, permits, a patchwork of regulations to follow depending on your jurisdiction and infrastructure differences in different areas make it very hard for just anyone to do this. The area where I live is still serviced by a government owned power system but they are quickly moving towards facilitating private energy projects. The government owned utility is actually banned from building its own generators now.

the person with the windmill actually used the extra energy and didn't have enough left over to sell back. The farmer I know had many windmills and was able to sell back to the electric company and didn't have to worry about zoning laws.

I am not aware of anywhere in the US that does not allow anyone with a electric source not to pump back into the grid after paying for such source and reverse hook up! Although I confess that I am only going on what I have been told by the 2 people who I know who have done so. One person had to remove his windmill due to zoning laws. Unless we develope much more efficient local energy sources I don't see private producers able to compete with the big dogs baring a farm owner.

For the amount of money required to invest in building one nuclear power plant, solar power could be made cost efficient compared to nuclear or fossil fuel power. The big drawback on solar power right now is that it is not cost efficient for the initial investment required and the amount of space it takes up. That will soon change however with more advanced nano-technology. This stuff is just very costly to R&D. |
