Is a new electrical ecosystem needed and what could it offer?

Ok thinking about this a little further mainly from a historical perspective , the clean air act of 1960 was a way of dealing of dealing with all the coal burning in urban spcaes , the steam turbine had developed to larger power outputs , so the remote power generation station was possible , and once you had the remote power station you you needed the higher voltage cables.  The situation now is that we can have cleaner burning systems , some countries just have banks of gensets , that come on and off load as the daily loads rise and fall. be pretty staright forward to specify them to 11kv and connect them where the big HV transformers used to be , 

Favourite news was that Bill Gates was working super low ohm cables , although I dont think superccoled conductot cables would be easy to do in practice , however as in the way of yin and yang Bill Gates now backs spraying chalk powder into space to create a sort of sun dimmer , which would be a disaster as you would reduce the very thing that is capturing CO2 i.e. Photosynthesis.    Doh back to the drawing board on that one , and its been tried a few years ago where very thin mirrors were being touted .   Come on Bill ya all know its a Biochemistry problem in the end, not more data centres.


Bit puzzled by govs warm home spending spree , especially being as some insulation isnt exactly eco friendly (phenolic foams etc) but there arnt enough sheep to provide the more eco friendly version , actually given some other annoucments i am very unconvinced the gov understand the eco thinking at all , found another hydrogen promo "emissions free transport"   whats water vapour I thought ??? oh yes its an emission

having a big smile moment calculations for waste incineration now done , those bad boy inefficenct systems , some are even less than 30% converson of fuel energy to electricty , and they have to bury the ash residue as its toxic ...
