By Mark S. Lawson, published 31/10/2012

As with almost everything else in this business of saving carbon, the details of building green energy projects are proving far more complex than anyone first imagined.

wobbles

just saw your comment.. I don't know where you got the idea that denial of alt energy had something to do with corporate interests.. its doesn't. Corporate interests couldn't care less. The energy market has not been affected at all by alt energy because it simply isn't displacing fossil fuel - certainly not to any, significant degree..

The reason that a lot of people are dismissive of alt energy is that it is dismissable.. At the moment there just isn't any viable soloution beyond switching to gas... Rationing will never occur.

The wind is always blowing somewhere, the sun is shining somewhere.
Nuclear power will never happen.
Power usage is down. Six coal fired generators have shut down.
The more solar power generated, the less dirty power is needed. Makes cense don't it.

Does it make sense 579.

I think you would ne hard pressed to find any of the many workers, who's Jobs have gone from the six power stations, that would agree with you.

The cleanest country will mean little if we don't have to.jobs.

Natural progression it is. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time. Why not work in solar, it's a growing business.
I have been solar for four years in December this year.
Between solar and batteries my power bill hardly exists, one thing you can't do away with is the service fee.

I do find it interesting that the left/green mob have been captured by the most shonky capitalists on the planet, those in the alternate power business.

Solar is only a growing business because of the money being thrown at it in the way of subsidies.

Once the honeymoon is over, people will have to work with the unreliability of alternative power and, real power from coal will be hugely expensive, esspecially if it becomes the back up source, something I doubt will actually happen.
