[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2228712, member: 196898"] The whole Grid will need to be replaced with higher voltage networks, bigger pylons more pylons, and even then it is not enough There will need to be superconducting networks to get the power into the grid and in the towns and cities, and this needs liquid helium and major refrigeration plant installed. Then the Switchgear needs to be replaced since the current transformers and switches use spark suppression methods that pump very toxic and harmful chemicals into the atmosphere if and when it escapes. The interruptors will need to handle much greater loads and transients and higher voltages with more powerful arcs to quench. Just to supply the electric car market. If we add in electric energy for home heating, then every house will need at least 25 kw mains input instead of the current 15 kw limit for domestic users, and in fact all houses will probably need to be converted to 3-phase inputs. This means digging up [U][B]all[/B][/U] the roads in the country at least once. Similar problem if we swap to hydrogen as a fuel source since this cannot use the existing gas supply network, so the natursl gas pipelines will need to be dug up and replaced with attendant changes to the safety and control gear. and all the monitoring equipment too. No one seems to be thinking about how these changes could come about. It might be simpler to plumb the cows directly into a methane grid instead. And completed by 2030? My Elbow! I should Cocoa, at least if I wasn't carb intolerant. [/QUOTE]
