Here I am going to explore
technologies that can benefit our Energy policies.
Three reasons why energy efficient cogeneration technology is gaining
momentum.
The world’s first central
power plant was opened in New York nearly 135 years ago. It used an
energy efficient technology that’s only now gaining widespread adoption.
Built by Thomas Edison’s company in 1882, the Pearl Street Station was
the world’s first combined heat and power (CHP) plant. It harnessed the
heat emanating from its steam engines to warm nearby buildings. But it’s
only recently that the practice of cogenerating heat and electricity has
started to see widespread adoption.
Cogeneration is gaining fresh momentum because it saves money and
alleviates the electricity demand on the grid. Worldwide, there are more
than 15,500 GE Jenbacher gas engines powering CHP systems in 100-plus
countries. For example, a 12-MW CHP system powered by four Jenbacher gas
engines provides onsite power and heat at a 55-acre tomato greenhouse
complex in Ontario. Operated by Great Northern Hydroponics, the system
also produces a ready supply of CO2 to fertilize the facility’s tomato
crop. Or take a beverage facility in the GTA, where a 2MW CHP system
powered by one Jenbacher engine is currently being installed. The system
will provide power for the plant as well as steam and hot water that
will be used in their bottling process.

Cheap, abundant & very safe
nuclear power.....Thorium
Why are the governments of the world who use nuclear energy not using
Thorium reactors? It's safe abundant & very cheap. The fact of the
matter is Thorium isn't any good for there nuclear weapons. So they will
risk the human civilization from now to however many generations survive
there stupidity. It's all about greed & power. Thorium reactors would
give us no harmful waste as well as all the other benefits from using
this abundant material. When will we say enough is enough. I'll tell you
when after a nuclear disaster that will end up killing half of the
planet, that's what it will take for them to stop the madness. Make no
mistake this will happen. There will be a time when in the not to
distant future an natural disaster will cause more the one nuclear plant
to go into meltdown. We must put a stop to this insanity now.
