we studied alternative energy--Israel has solar ponds. A solar pond can provide energy for a town. My partner and I had to report on hydroelectric energy and the negative side of having huge dams. Our conclusion was to have smaller dams, wind energy, solar and make it more local. Actually, today, even for security, it is better to localize energy, instead of having massive structures--when the grid goes down whole states are affected.

Because I have lived near two nuclear plants--both have been shut down, I am no great fan of nuclear power. The one plant near Eureka CA is on a fault -now who's bright idea was it to build it and how much money did they get? Those who would swim near the plant would wind up with weird rashes.
