At present it would be fair to say that ‘Economic activity and emissions are related’ due to the lack in development of alternates, but surely there are greener options… in fact investing in the greener options in a time of economic uncertainty such as now would not only take steps towards creating jobs and employment but also healing some of the planet we and our ancestors have abused.

In a previous post, there was mentioned that the percentage of Germany’s electricity production from the wind is “under the radar”.

Well, not so in my country – Czech Republic. The problem is following: Germans produce most of their windmill energy in the North. In addition, there’s a law, that in case the wind blows, the energy MUST be immediately channeled to the network and the other “non-renewable” sources shut down, if the need arises. But there’s a big BUT: Germany has more industry and energy consumption in the center and in the south, whereas windmills are rotating at the north.

So what to do? Germany has very weak network, so they channel all that volts from North to South through the Czech network, which is (fortunately) a bit overdone, thanks to the Communist times. Of course, this sudden surge threatens Czech network stability with blackouts, not to mention the fact, that in order to pass through the German “green” wind energy we have to disconect and temporarily shut down (and later restart) our own coal plants…

[...] Jennifer Marohasy » A Depression Would Reduce Carbon Emissions So, why isn’t all the bad economic news openly embraced as positive news by those that advocate we urgently cut carbon dioxide emissions. Surely, if solutions to global warming are so pressing, the best thing that could possibly happen is a recession if not a depression? [...]

Cohenite” ..that capitalism should be curtailed”

This has but one meaning – to curtail capitalism is to simply curtail our individual right to choose and replace it with the dictates of the state.
