Would that the world were that much more clean for our grand children! Stanford study concludes it is only a political choice. The technologies for an all electric future are waiting to be used.

Hi!

Daily, we receive loads of  hype about how costly conversion to clean energy is. 

Much of the commentary is based on reluctance of fossil combustion burning DIRTY technologies and communities that should long ago have been declared unfit for human use. 

So, it's time to look around the home, factory, office and toss away all, yes ALL, those combustion engines. 

Gas burning for heat is still seen as 'overlookable' combustion. But, have another look and understand that it is a poor reflection of a burning mentality that has no real place in the future other than as a comment, "remember when we heated water AND AIR with a gas burner..." 

It is easily the time to move to a completely new range of devices and machines based electric / electronic world in which combustion occurs as a rarity, an act of nature and not human design. 

Sure burning stuff will always be feasible, but if we burn let's burn 100 percent and contain the residue for more burning, even in nuclear burning. 

All we really need for a clean world is the solar energy and it's effects in wind, waves and temperature ......

I'll bet China wishes, it could stop burning so it's smog fog would go away forever. Remember when in London, we had all those fogs, etc....


Healthy thoughts,

Arthur

How should one account for improvements to hydro within the the fossil fuel debate? Seems Obvious!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
