Reply #45: Large-scale solar to electricity operations in high deserts. [View All]

Energy is available in vast quantities in the deserts. Using generated electricity, it is easy to split the hydrogen from the oxygen in water. This hydrogen can then be transported to population centers to be used as fuel.

Algae bio-diesel sounds really clever, but it puts out carbon dioxide when it burns, so I don't see any great advantage there.

The point is to to get the energy from non-carbon, non-radioactive sources; once you have good energy output, the mechanics of using that energy are relatively easy.
