Khosla on clean tech
One of the ironies of the story about Vinod Khosla?s is that he concedes ?it takes 15 years to try out new nuclear technology,nike free run 5.0,? but he criticizes the Pickens Plan because it does not reduce carbon emissions by more than 20% over the next decade. The point: It takes time, possibly years or a couple decades, to develop and perfect energy technologies. The Pickens approach would at least ?buy time? and lower emissions until new energy technologies can be developed and put on the market. Mr. Khosla?s goal of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions is laudable, but ? as he suggests with new nuclear technology ? it takes time to perfect technology and that?s where the Pickens Plan comes into play during the interim period.
Posted by bobmorton22The problem with all existing hybrids is that they are parallel hybrids with tiny battery packs and inefficient engines. We need plugin serial hybrids with more efficient diesel engines (as far as road transportation is concerned). Rail is also a great way to move freight and people. Eliminating the need to transport freight and people is best,electrical heaters, although 50+ years of retarded civil engineering makes walking and bicycling a nightmare in most cities.
If we actually lived in a democracy, this wouldn't be a problem because people want clean, cheap, abundant energy and the best solutions have been lying around unused for a very long time.
