Silent Advent Calendar 2007: December 5 |
December 5 WHAT THE GULF STREAM TURBINE SYSTEM CAN DO What would you say if I told you about a new invention for producing a steady supply of electricity that would consume no fuel, produce no carbon dioxide or other harmful emissions, would be both silent and invisible, would make it possible to produce free hydrogen at distant locations, would be virtually impervious to earthquakes and tsunamis, would be immune from terrorist attacks, would require almost no maintenance, would require no site preparation or leasing of sites, would require capital investments no greater than those required for wind farms or modern coal-fired plants per kilowatt of generating capacity, and would if properly placed operate at capacity factors comparable to those of many fossil fuel plants while producing its steady power with virtually no operating costs? Most of the sources of renewable energy are inherently intermittent. This invention if placed in large numbers in the Gulf Stream off the coast of South Florida can generate huge amounts of steady, low cost electricity. The costs of that power can be as low as .9 of a cent per kilowatt-hour during the amortization period. After the amortization period ends, the costs would drop to virtually zero. The decline in the production of North American natural gas and world oil combined with the very real threat of catastrophic global warming have created an urgent need for mankind to switch from oil and gas to those energy sources that are sustainable and non-polluting. The installation of large numbers of Gulf Stream Turbines would be a major step toward reducing the potential horrific economic and social problems that the depletion of oil and gas can produce.
