Another Good Article by Energy Analyst Robert Bryce - N2N!!!

An aquaintance sent me this article by energy analyst Robert Bryce in an email. 

Bryce suggests that people who want to go green and get completely off fossil fuels need to get a simple calculator to demonstrate to themselves how improbable that really is based on the fact that renewables like wind and solar lack energy density and thus require huge tracks of land.They have a significant problem of SCALE!!!    He believes in...N2N!  Natural gas to nuclear.  Although I don't always agree with Bryce like his writing becuase he is a realist about the issue.
 
Since our new "green "zoning provides for wind and solar this article should be a must read for the zoning committee and our town and planning board now sudddenly with no science endorsing solar in one of the least sunniest places in the country. 
 
Tell you what... I will provide them the calculators!!!
 
But I am enjoying the recent  long run of AZ like sunny weather so far  this summer in Cape Vincent.
