could really use an FE energy source tho..
Chet, I'll try again... Is a small powerful power source that is infinite and free going to help us toward personal freedom or personal isolation and feudalism ? Ever read Deathworld 2 by Harry Harrison (1964, initially titled The Ethical Engineer) ? Would a large power source that requires cooperation amongst all with zero ecological cost benefit everyone more effectively ? I love rivers... Historically the Nile was a great example of how civilisation in the desert sprung up along the green river banks. Here is a snippet of another example: https://www.britannica.com/place/Ganges-River/Hydroelectric-powerHydroelectric powerThe hydroelectric potential of the Ganges and its tributaries is enormous—estimates have ranged from some 51,700 to 128,700 megawatts—of which about two-fifths lies within India and the rest in Nepal. Some of that potential has been exploited in India, including hydroelectric developments on headwater tributaries of the Ganges in Uttarakhand (e.g., the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers), on the upper Yamuna River and its tributaries in Himachal Pradesh, and, farther downstream, in the Ganges basin along the Chambal (a right-bank tributary of the Yamuna) and Rihand rivers. Only a tiny fraction of Nepal’s hydroelectric generating capacity has been exploited. Environmental issuesConcern has grown over the environmental impact of hydroelectric dams, including habitat destruction for wildlife (terrestrial and aquatic), forced relocation of people living in the paths of dams and reservoirs, loss of agricultural land, and disruption of water supplies for inhabitants near the completed dams. Some have called for reductions in the amount of power generated, redesigning dams to make them and their impounded reservoirs less intrusive, and even moratoriums on future dam construction in some areas. So, 51 to 129 MW is considered enormous energy potential is it ? hhop gen 4 open loop will produce GW's from the same river length with zero environmental impact. Ask some of your clever friends a favour... Sit down with pen and pencil and do the simple math and peer review hhop gen 4 open loop potential for this river flow... then let's talk again.
