Question

Q? wind or bio my vehicle runs on Biofuel

Answer 1

Wind turbines are a total waste of time, they seldom generate more than a few watts of electricity.  We had wind turbines on many of our major buildings here in London during and immediately after the war.  We all know why they disappeared - not because electricity was cheap, but because they were simply a waste of time.

Controlled water power is the answer and all along the banks of the River Thames right into the 1830s there were tide mills.  These operated on the 8-knot incoming and outgoing River Thames tide.

I do not understand why we do not have tide mills along the Thames today.  I'm not saying they will produce all of London's power supply, that's silly, but they would certainly reduce London's dependancy upon high cost fuels which are at present used to generate electricity.

Answer 2

Bio-Fuels potentially release just as much CO2 as fossil fuels, they are just from a renewable source.

ultimately we will have to move to completely none polluting energy sources (wind is one of these)
