This is where Russia has the the power to blackmail the entire Eurasian continent. They arguably have the largest natural reserves on Earth, and could control Europe and even China over this (China is now hard-pressed to phase out their polluting coal-fired power plants, given the pulmonary damage to the population of China for decades of over-reliance on coal-fired power plants).

Ride bikes, hook up a pinwheel to a generator, pedal, charge the battery, and heat your homes with green energy. And, it’s healthy, too - a twofer!

It’s not a blackout. Call it by it’s real name: a disaster. People die without heat. All the advancements of civilization are lost when there is no heat.

Well ... the earth’s gravity is in play here. No clouds would spread the water from the sea to the air, to fall at higher elevations for hydro — IF NOT for the heating and cooling caused by the sun.
It all traces back to solar sources.

Where did the uranium come from ? I guess its been in the planet since earth was made. Did God use the sun to make the earth ?
I don’t have all the answers, but yes nuke makes the most sense, yet its the most plundered idea.
To: George from New England
All I’ve been trying to say is that energy comes from a furnace. Over the centuries it has been stored in all sorts of forms. We as people don’t have to capture the ‘live’ sun’s energy in real-time to be green.
Even wind power comes from the weather and temperature changes, coming from the sun’s planet daytime warming and nighttime cooling.

How about Geothermal?
Is Volcanic activity within the crust of the Earth a function of the Fusion reaction of the Sun?
I am asking, not lecturing.
Iceland runs their entire island off of the geothermal energy stored underneath their land mass. Now, they still have to import petroleum products for their automobiles. However, of anywhere in the world where electric cars make sense, it would be Iceland.
Does anyone else know do they produce electricity on the Big Island of Hawaii from Geothermal?
To: George from New England
Let me correct myself before some other Freeper does:
“Five major geothermal power plants exist in Iceland, which produce approximately 26.2% (2010)[2] of the nation’s electricity. In addition, geothermal heating meets the heating and hot water requirements of approximately 87% of all buildings in Iceland. Apart from geothermal energy, 73.8% of the nation’s electricity is generated by hydro power,[2] and 0.1% from fossil fuels.”
So, Iceland’s electricity comes from hydroelectric and geothermal.

People die without heat. And some die from the heat. Thems the breaks.

Macron just needs to get his population out near the windmills and have them blow toward the propellers. Yep, they should go to those windmills and fart in their general direction. Talk about gas!

Cosmic rays striking the silicon in the earth's crust is what powers volcanic activity. The amount of cosmic ray intensity striking the earth is dependent on the strength of the sun's magnetic field. When the sun's magnetic field is strong, it shields the earth. Currently, the magnetic field is weak. The extra cosmic rays power up the silicon in the earth for the volcanic activity and nucleate more clouds. The net effect is more clouds from water, more particulates from volcanic activity and dropping temperatures on the earth's surface...the genesis of ice age periods.

Gee the windmills, solar panels and unicorn farts aren’t enough to power the country?
