@wentafew The clown that posted this was almost cetainly from the US, which means that they are almost certainly highly ignorant.

@The3rdPlateau If you're seriously
discussing somebody's crackpot notion of garage fusion,
I think you are being misled. In fact I KNOW you are. And
as I said, garage fission is nothing more than a thermopile
reactor picking up beta particles to form a current. It's not
capable of much at all, and is very dangerous to anyone
local to it.
-
@The3rdPlateau Okay, hold it. I was halfway convinced
that you were sane until this last business. You're surely
not talking about an electromagnetic fusion reactor in
someone's garage, are you? I thought you were talking
about fission, and while that has been done at universities
with a garage sized reactor pit, the yield is very tiny at
best, only enough to prove the principle, and maybe run
a little motor, a VERY LITTLE motor.

@rstevewarmorycom Like (again) I already said, I have more faith in the small-scale electromagnetic-based reactors that you can build in your garage (albeit at somewhat of a cost) but which are relatively cheap...especially when compared to the large, thermal-based reactors that only government and large companies can produce...and we sure do know fusion can work, it works in every star in the universe (except for brown dwarfs, if you even wanna call those 'stars')
-
@rstevewarmorycom Yep, that's the guy indeed, I remember the hydrogen chemical car he built/modded
-
@The3rdPlateau And with the new cheaper battery
technology, it can work. A guy in England has a fully enclosed
electric motorbike he built himself, and which he charges in
three hours than can go 150 to 200 miles on a charge at
over 50 miles per hour. Top speed is a little over 60. He uses
three square meters of solar panels and $1000 worth of Chinese
LiFePO4 batteries!!
-
@The3rdPlateau The new PV's are MUCH cheaper and MUCH more
durable than they were 20 years ago. I just bought a 70 Watt
1/2 meter panel for only $45. I get 70 Watts, enough to run a
laptop, and I get it now for the rest of my life for free!! You need
to re-study this whole issue, man.Solar has changed BIG TIME!
The cost has dropped ten times and the efficiency is four times
what it was 20 years ago.
-
@The3rdPlateau I feel like you're writing from 20 years
ago. The guy you're probably talking about is Stan Ofshinksy.
He pioneered the paint-on films that now NanoSolar out
here in Silicon Valley are now using, they've sold their
output to Germany for the next two years, and they are building
four factories at the same time to make more! He also has
a way to store hydrogen in a chemical matrix at near sea-level
pressures.
-
@The3rdPlateau But that's only because of that one
VERY tiny state, or your argument would be silly. The
percentage of area needed is VERY MUCH LESS than
the space we already have under roof in the USA!!
The are is 1/50,000th of our land area!! And it's not like
we have to build a building under each of them, these
are relatively light flimsy structures. Roofs can be used
for PV, and larger buildings can host concentrator troughs,
as they already do in a number of places.
This is the problem with the internet... anyone can post absolute bullshit

Denying peak oil is equivalent to saying that there is an inexhaustible amount of oil at our disposal. Since it is certainly exhaustible (because it's non-renewable) we can be just as certain that, if we keep consuming it, at some point demand outstrips supply. It's not rocket science.
Seriously, people who don't get this are deluding themselves.
