Talk:Green energy
We need to be clear that "green energy" is jargon used by its proponents. If you'd chill on the edits for a minute I'll try and add some balance to this article. -- stewacide 19:42, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Can anyone tell what rationelle they use to exclude nuclear power? It doesn't seem to be mentioned on the sites listed (or the parts of them I looked at).
Biomass is included on allthe sites I read. Really, EVERYTHING is poluting in some respect (in fact things like solar power and wind turbines are far worse for the environment than conventional power sources when you take into account the energy used and pollution caused by thir production, but don't tell the environmentalists that...). -- stewacide
From reading this article it is hard to understand why the title is "green electricity." The term is inexact, because not all the forms of energy listed are used to produce electricity. Geothermal energy can be used directly to heat buildings without being converted to electricity. Green energy would seem to me to be a more appropriate title (and is used in the body of the article). "Green energy" is also used about five times as much, according to Google. "Green electricity" tends to be used by power generation companies. Sunray 08:26, 2004 Jan 8 (UTC)
green electricity is phisical non-existant for users.
The way commercial electricity is produced has received attention from the public due to substantial environmental effects. There are number of innovations in methods of production with higher costs compared to bulk production of electricity. To make these environmentally improved methods of production commercially attractive, "green energy" was invented as a commercial product. In an interconnected electricity grid there is no possibility for identification, so "green electricity" is and will remain an administrative product until it is the only type of energy left to use. Research is done with digital connected source-consumption systems bypassing the physical electricity grid. These new technical systems extent the present administrative systems in divers ways like on-line, near online and off-line. Egbert Bouwhuis at GPX --212.238.188.99 20:09, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
