....off. ..The present climate temperature oscillations are quite normal, the period is rather cool .. NOW, or would you rather want global cooling, or freezing?? ... UPtick oscillation in global temperatures will cause TREMENDOUS amounts of so far uninhabitable land, mainly Canada and Russia, and pole regions, to be HABITABLE. .. That will bring HUGE amounts of WEALTH, of minerals, of oil, of new living space, to humankind hopefully .... A Sibiera(c)(tm), a Canadiera(c)(tm) .. yes, a Riviera on the North ....... it'l benefit Friendfeed, and it'l benefit the humankind too .... Is green energy desirable? YES, Definitely ..... http://friendfeed.com/SolarTh... - see HOW EASY it would be to cover WORLD energy needs by green renewable sources .. :] ..so. - Petr Buben

chaos, people .. it's a CHAOS .. a tremendous chaos ! ... we have massive colossal thermonuclear fusion reactions going on on that thing - on Sun ... hundreds of millions of Kelvins temperature, outrageous, decadent amounts of energy .. .. we have hot magma furnace underneath .... and all it's boiling, churning, firing .. as we speak !! ..... // now try to juxtapose a cows manure gases... more... - Petr Buben

you can draw more power at higher altitudes. The Harvard study is based around the use of taller 100-meter turbines, as opposed to 50-to-80-meter turbines. ... Also, the U.S. is believed to be able to produce twice as much wind energy than previously laid out in a 2008 study. (16 times more than current consumption .... Rural areas of Russia and Canada are said to be the best areas for power generation, which is based around the distribution of 2.5- to 3.0-megawatt turbines in relatively temperate and open landscapes - Petr Buben

Smaller red square would satisfy electricity needs of Europe, the smallest would cover Germany's energy demand ...... Heat captured over a 510,000 square meter area can produce enough electricity to meet the demands of 200,000 people ..... do i even believe all this? - Petr Buben

.. isn't this "beyond believe ?" :] ..... also, pic no. 11 http://www.spiegel.de/fotostr... , sun energy map, Africa, southern Europe .......==UPDATE 6-23-09 - confirmed !! beyond believe - energy needs of the world covered by solar thermal patch on Sahara !! .. this is the story of my life .... also ....here - PopSci confirms http://www.popsci.com/environ... - Petr Buben

here it is .. isn't the world's energy needs solved??.. now. bummer .. what about wars? colonization? ..how will you justify massive obscene armies, billions of armament programs, the wars!? for oil?...we don't need that much oil .. just sell it cheaper, and make no wars of conquest ! .. war is a terror. war is wrong ..as long as humanity dwells on this Earth, any and all armies, any... more... - Petr Buben

"A total of 9 CSP plants were built in the 1980s and early 1990s in California’s Mojave desert. But sinking oil prices and a withdrawal of federal tax credits brought the industry to a total standstill." ........NOW- Oakland,CA BrightSource Energy is building a 400 MW CSP plant in the Mojave Desert, called the Ivanpah Solar Power Complex ....... Israel-based Solel is developing a 553 MW CSP facility in the Mojave Desert, called the Mojave Solar Park. ...... Pasadena-based, Google-backed eSolar is constructing an up to 245 MW plant, the Gaskell Sun Tower, in Kern County. It is slated to be the nation's first commercial effort in building "power tower" CSP plants. - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet

In 2007, Spain's Acciona Solar dedicated America's first CSP plant in almost two decades, Nevada Solar One (pictured above). The $266 million plant boasts a capacity of 64 MW. ........ In 2008, Abengoa Solar, a Spanish multinational, announced plans to construct what will be one of the largest CSP plants on the planet when it goes online in 2011 – a $1 billion, 280 MW facility 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. - Petr Buben
