It's a hydro - powered hybrid that spews nothing but H2O particles out its tailpipe; far as I'm concerned, it looks like it should.

We've reported on the fine efforts of Paul Miskelly to tip a bucket on the well - worn MYTH that — with fans spread far and wide across 4 Australian States (NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and SA)-- the wind will always be blowing somewhere, such that wind power can be considered a substitute for on - demand power sources, like hydro.

While New England is starting to come to its senses (procuring and enhancing sustainable base load sources like hydro and gas) we are also making some foolish choices (blowing over 2 BILLION DOLLARS on wind projects that don't scratch the grid's surface, closing reliable power plants with no reliable generators available to replace them).

However, a big enough network can bring power from where the wind is blowing, the sun shining and there are work arounds like thermal / hydro storage.

The limitation with hydro and other power sources like tidal is their distance from the market.

Wind power technology — like solar, hydro, even nuclear — is behind the times.

All Neil has to do is point to a miffle / major modern nation with a reasonable amount of heavy industry and not abundantly blessed with hydro (like Norway) or traditional geothermal (like Iceland) which has managed to achieve the same kind of transition from coal with technosolar renewable power that France has managed with nuclear power.

It explores some of the potential solutions, like rapid response gas turbines and large - scale hydro - power storage, but it is perhaps most interesting in how it captures the nature of the problem itself, and what can cause it.

Perhaps needless to say, big hydro - electric projects like this can generate a great deal of power, but there are significant environmental trade offs.

Pumped - storage hydro - power is a part of the answer; heat storage in solar - thermal plants is another part, techniques like the reversible formation of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen (experimental and not shown on the graph) could be another part.

While the latter effect of climate campaigners on Big Oil would be about the same in America as in Europe (except in countries like France or Sweden, where it would be negligible as nuclear and / or hydro provide almost all the electrical power), the impact via transportation fuel usage would be much greater in the United States.
