exactly! which is why newly elected prime minister Abe wants more nuclear power. (and everything else, but fossil) to power us in the future. he is right. and if it's done right we can benefit.

Larger scale geothermal is starting to take hold. California is, I believe, the world leader in it. But even here in Seattle, the newly renovated King Street Station has 36 geothermal wells to run their new HVAC system.

And if you want to proclaim nuclear the way to salvation look to the single nuke being built in the US - massive cost overruns, years long delays, etc.

Countries that develop smart, nimble, and networked power supplies will be positioned for the demands of the 21st Century.

There are some comparison charts in various articles in Renewable Energy journal, of course.

You still need electricity to run the system, of course, but only a tiny fraction of that needed to provide equivalent resistance heating, and far less than needed for a heat pump to extract sufficient heat for interior spaces from sub-freezing air.

How ironic.

The Energy Department will present a live webinar on January 17, 2013, highlighting the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Wind-to-Hydrogen project findings. The webinar will be offered from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST and will focus on cost modeling of optimized central wind-based water electrolysis production. During the project, NREL analyzed the cost of hydrogen production via wind-based water electrolysis at 42 potential sites in 11 states across the nation. The analysis included centralized plants producing DOE's target of 50,000 kg of hydrogen per day, using both wind and grid electricity.
