Help me, if Electric cars are good then how about the power plants polluting to make the electricity?

electric — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:02:03 +0000

Electric cars need electricity made by environmentally polluting Power plants and we will need more of these polluting power plants for all the cars replaced, so how is it green?
Help me here please.
Coal burning power plants
Gas burning
Nuclear power

at the moment Solar, wind and Hydro plants are not enough for the current need

so we would need the polluting plants increased

If you plug your care into the wall outlet, wouldn’t you be paying a high electricity bill, but saving on gas?

Also, if your local plant is a coal burning plant, would the extra electricity use equate to increase coal emissions? Where is the green benefit in that? Where is the money saving benefits?
sorry Car not Care.

Looking to change electricity supplier in the UK.?

electric — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:02:58 +0000

I’ve just moved into a new flat, ex council stock, and it has a power card meter in it. It is prohibitively expensive, and an utter pain to get cards for the things, so I’m looking to change supplier and payment meter.
Does anyone know where is best to go to get decent ‘green’ electricity. My wee boy has convinced me to go for a company which doesn’t destroy the planet (pester power works even when changing pwoer supplier).

Do you think hydrogen fusion is a safe way to generate electricity?

electric — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 07:53:20 +0000

Could the energy within the hydrogen atom be released with powerful lasers thus duplicating the processes of our Sun? Are conventional lasers strong enough? Could a type of laser transformer or amplifier be used to step up the intensity of conventional lasers? Could this released energy then be harnessed for electrical generation or would this technique be used for non peaceful purposes?

Is getting shocked by static electricity bad for your health?

electric — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:01:53 +0000

My friends and (this may sound weird) like to shock each other. we discovered how to make sparks not even touching anything and we keep doing it, it’s fun! I was concerned that it may affect your health in the long run, getting shocked repeatedly. i just want to make sure it is safe so that we don’t continue doing it unless it’s not bad for you. thanks for your help!

How can I avoid getting shocked by static electricity at the office?

electric — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:01:48 +0000

It’s not just the office, I get shocked by the door handle on the truck. I get shocked every time I touch a cubicle. I get shocked when I open a drawer on the office. It’s getting really annoying. I dunno what I am doing that’s making me getting shocked so much.

I live in a trailer type home and have a static electricity problem. How do I get rid of it.?

electric — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:52:35 +0000

I have made sure the unit is grounded and the electrical outlets are also grounded. Putting moisture in the air has not solved the problem. The floor is not carpeted but is a vinyl laminate. I expected some static shocks living in AZ, but this is excessive. It happens only in our unit. I do not have this issue in other units or at home. How to I control this excessive static electricity?
