  1. Elektron: Electrical Systems in Retrospect and Prospect Jesse H. Ausubel Cesare Marchetti Critique Maximilian Moy

  2. Questionable Topics The Process of Decarbonization • Changing to a pure electricity economy? • This would put a massive strain on power plants and massive use of batteries. • Rely more on Nuclear Power, Natural Gas and Oil? • They have waste products of their own. • Run Nuclear Plants at night to make Hydrogen? • Again more nuclear waste. • Fuel Cells? • Been around since the 1960’s and still very expensive.

  3. More Questionable Topics Expansion of the Power Grid • Creation of an international grid to better distribute and protect power to customers? • The great blackout of 2003. • Creation of larger and larger US power grids? • Fear of monopoly of electricity. • Demand for power will increase to extraordinary amounts? • Advances in technology have increased efficiency to subdue power demand.

  4. Even More Questionable Topics Novel Efficiency Innovations • Night glasses, Heat flux controlling windows, super fast trains? • Where did they come up with such ideas in the first place.

  5. My Novel Idea For Energy The Drinking Bird • The energy available from the evaporation of one gallon of water is approximately equal to the available energy from burning one half  gallon of gasoline* * A Simple Heat Engine of Possible Utility in Primitive Environments.    By Richard B. Murrow, August 1966

  6. Conclusion Good article, but like everything in this world, nothing is perfect.
