Electric Power

Description
Electricity is one of the defining markers in the transition from developing to developed nations. Electric power supply for burgeoning megacities is a central concern. Sustainable infrastructure must choose the right components (e.g. power plants, power grid, transmission lines, cables, etc.) in the right configurations to prevent brownouts and blackouts and to maximize efficiency. Decentralized generators such as solar cells on roofs may be able to leapfrog power grids or return power to the grid.	photo source

Our current Energy Model and Power Lines is unsustainable.

I would like to share with all of you the following article, which proposes a new strategy for changing our current Energy Model. Even using Bio-fuels, although they are renewable, they still generate Green House Gases. The strategy in this article, is fair and equitable, much more than our current Energy Model, for people and nations. It should improve living conditions throughout the world, but it will take time to implement . Please support it and share it along

The fossil fuels used in automobiles must stop. Please see the article on The Perfect Automobile

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1407214/the_perfect_automobile.html?cat=27

There is a new article for Production and Deployment of the Perfect Automobile which is about to come out. I will send it to you soon, which shows our inability to switch all our current automobiles in circulation from Fossil fuels to electricity in less than 10 years, unless there is a colapse in the planet.

Please insert your comments on the articles or send them to me to trevinoj@bellsouth.net">trevinoj@bellsouth.net

Best regards,

Juan A Trevino
