Join every day information updates from CleanTechnica on e mail. Or comply with us on Google Information!

We get a stable quantity of…fascinating…. e mail from clear tech doubters and outright haters. We just lately launched a “Letters to the editor” part, and nicely, I made a decision to run a smattering of the commentary that CleanTechnica receives (slash must take care of) on the every day, simply on your leisure. Get pleasure from. 🙂

How can we assist?

I’d like to deal with one thing in an article.

Wind-Farms (Parks)

Good day

I learn your article on Google Information. I find out about these machines and I can inform you the folks dwelling ip close to the North Sea can be all useless or all of them evacuated from that nice Wind-Farm.

The following level I would love Iike to say is Wind-Farms produce warmth of their connection cables and warmth the seas as a result of the Farms include so many Generators and are so massive. Consequently all of the Marie life, whales, dolphins fish and many others, are all cooked and float round the wrong way up.

I don’t know why the peoples up that manner are so fixated on these foolish gimmicks however it perhaps your Governments try to cull their inhabitants of you all. I say this as a result of this stuff are so noisey the Generators can kill if the wind is kind of robust of velocity.

There’s nothing good about Wind Generators. These machines are far too injurious and intrusive for peoples and fauna.

Sort Regards

Wow! That’s ALL information to us. Thanks a lot for the warning. Absolutely you saved loads of lives. LOL

Desalinated Water is simply as low-cost as common water now, so why not water the forest to maintain them from getting too dry? W,e want some folks like Elon Musk and Trump to come back in and shake the place up.

Hello _____, thanks for writing in. I haven’t seen that desalinated water is as low-cost as common groundwater now — do you have got references for that? Additionally, how would you ship that water from the ocean to the forest?

Thanks for studying — admire all sides of the political spectrum on the lookout for options — simply wish to guarantee they’re science-based and never simply taking pictures from the hip.

Thanks on your good response and I actually admire your open mindedness.

Desalination system may produce freshwater that’s cheaper than faucet water from MIT and China..

Israeli desalination, wastewater remedy turns into world mannequin for water shortage…

Bought it! yea, for positive, in Israel, the place the solar shines consistently, photo voltaic powered desal is a win — unsure it could apply in BC, although. Query stays, tho, how do you ship that water to the forest and unfold it over billions of acres? Desal on website to drink is nice — you don’t have to maneuver the water very far, and you’ll pump it proper into an current plumbing system.

Desalinated Water crops can use Solar energy in the course of the day to make the water usable. The Desalinated Water will be offered to customers to water their yards and Farmers to water their crops and to the Authorities to avoid wasting their sacred fish.  And that far more folks can drink the Mountain Water.  I received that from Israel too.  2 pipes to each home.  I like promoting a quota of Bushes to maintain the forest skinny. Use the Tree cash to assist pay for the pipelines to the CA forest.  It received’t be free but when you are able to do tasks that pay for themselves, it may be accomplished.  The CA Forest Fires in 2021 have been a wakeup name to everybody.  I see folks within the EPA saying Forest Fires are an excellent factor and it makes my blood boil. In mild of World Warming, we have now to rethink letting Forest Fires simply occur. And they are often Photo voltaic pipelines that pump the Desalinated Water as much as reservoirs within the Forest when the batteries are charged. You need to get 6 hours of pumping whereas the solar beats down on CA.

Billions of Acres is a Tall order however arent the gorgeous Redwoods price it? And I believe there’s something to the UC Davis examine concerning the CA Forest not being the Nice Carbon Sinks they as soon as have been.  And we have now to plan with that in thoughts.  Too many Bushes consuming Restricted Water.  

Completely one other topic however I’m actually excessive on Exxon taking CO2 from our Chemical crops between New Orleans and Baton Rouge and utilizing it in Enhanced Oil Restoration tasks that pay for themselves. I additionally see the potential of placing the CO2 in outdated Wells serving to with the issue of our Sunkin Land alongside our Coast in Louisiana. If pulling Oil and Gasoline out of the Floor prompted the Land to sink, wouldn’t placing CO2 again within the Floor trigger the Land to rise once more? That ought to offer you guys one thing to chew on for some time.

Fascinating ideas — I put a sprinkler system in my yard, about 1/4 acre, and it price me about $15K and desires common upkeep. What number of acres of timber want irrigation? I don’t truthfully know, however I think about it’s loads. Additionally, land doesn’t rise when you put gasoline beneath it — not in any degree kind of manner. Have you ever seen Gasland? Good documentary about drilling, pumping, groundwater, and sinkholes.

Did you examine Exxon shopping for the Denbury CO2 pipeline?  Nevertheless, these Turkeys are utilizing CO2 from Jackson Dome in Enhanced Oil Restoration tasks as a substitute of CO2 from our Most cancers Alley of Chemical Crops.  However the infrastructure is there to begin capturing the CO2 from the Chemical  crops and begin cleansing up our Air in Most cancers Alley. Possibly you’ll be able to go the phrase to Pres. Biden to throw some CCS bucks in that path? 

We’ll get proper on that — we have now that purple cellphone on our desk that each one we have now to do is choose it up and it dials straight to President Biden’s private cellular phone.
