Sidenote: If your laptop is overheating it might be related to dust accumulating over the years inside the laptop in the area of the CPU, CPU fan, air inlets and outlets. You could probably get it cleaned in a local…
According to my knowledge current car motor efficiency is about the same than power plants: gasoline car motor 40%, diesel car motor 43%, coal burning power plants 30-45%, gas burning power plants around 30% efficiency.…
Well, yes and no. My thinking is that for the climate it does not matter if you burn the fossile fuel in a car or in a power plant. At one point all the fossile fuel will have been burnt one way or the other and the…
Regarding 2): Well, in Germany around 29% of the electrical power is currently from renewable energy sources (12% wind, 6% sun, 6% bio mass, 3% water, ...). Not (yet) enough for today and not enough for all future…
Thanks. And yes, currently we can still burn fossil fuels to satisfy our hunger for energy but I was projecting into the future. My thinking goes like this: Let's define the amount of current electrical power used for…
Surely a nice car. But I wonder where all this electrical power for all those electrical cars in the future will come from? Probably from nuclear power plants with their still unresolved nuclear waste problematics - not…
