Comment | The MOST important actions on prevention of global warming are NOT being done: 1. Research into TIDAL POWER stations: America's Eastern and Western seaboards offer almost unlimited tidal power. The only such station in the Western Hemisphere is in Nova Scotia and that province already produces 12% of its electric power from renewable sources. 2.Research into low cost electric cars and high speed rechargeable batteries. Tesla has already an excellent vehicle, but at too high a cost. 3.Prepare for recharge stations at service stations and consider an electric pickup through a groove in the main streets of cities. (Like the old trams). 4.Put an immediate ban on all new coal powered power stations, and phase out all of the old ones. Put an immediate ban on all mountain top blast mining for coal and on all industrial river pollution. 5.Put an immediate ban on any new nuclear power stations, and nuclear weapons. Start to research better ways of disposing of nuclear waste. 6.Start the construction of large wind farms and solar farms. (The latter are best located in the southern desert states). Denmark has shown the feasibility of building wind farms over the sea with turbines supported by pylons driven into the seabed. 7. Careful construction of dams for hydro power without having a harmful impact on wildlife and drinkable water supply. 8. Speeding up the increased mileage rules for gas powered vehicles. 9.Planting new forests and cutting back on lumber industry deforestation. 10.Aid to foreign nations in need to achieve the above goals. We then become no longer dependent on the Middle East and cut the cost of power, transportation and health care out of all recognition. How think you? Sincerely, Ian Campbell Cree, MB(Hons.), MS, FRCS(Eng. & C.), FACS, LRCP. |
