Rubbish. Wood smoke is very damaging and a serious heath issue for women cooking by wood fires in the developing world. This is well known. You think that these people would not jump at the chance to swap wood for electricity? What's with this 100% natural crap? Arsenic is 100% natural too, but that doesn't make it good for you.
Thats actually an interesting idea.. and something that never occurred to me.. Instead of burning coal to make steam to make electricity and then use electricity as a fuel, just use the steam to provide the energy... Should save energy at least. Not sure if there are other cons associated with the steam trains.. but I know Id take a ride on a steam locomotive.. very nostalgic.
The Mojave Desert can easily supply cheap electricity to the entire North American Continent... Sterling engines heated with computer controlled parabolic mirrors.. you pipe it out on million volt DC lines the same as it is piped from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California currently... and if you want more energy you go to where three deserts meet at Needles California... or you go to the Sonoran Desert in Mexico where it gets to 140 degrees.. but don't get crossed up with the cartel guys, I'd ask them first basically... I think I'll do that project after we use up all the Oil and all the Nuclear fuel... the politics will be better for my project by that time...
