But to be really green and super efficient we need to move to geo thermal power..That uses the heat of the EARTH to heat water to produce steam which in turn powers turbines to produce power.its cheaper than nuclear and safer and much cleaner than coal.The problem is the govt does not want to subsidise this.and also it all comes back to cost.to revamp the power grid.when will the scumbags in DC stop asking about the damn cost and just ask how long will it take? they are all corrupt and dirty in some way or another.
