So how would you generate electricity then? The only other alternative energy source are:
- solar power
- wind power
- hydrogen fuel
- nuclear power
- steam power (as other suggested)
- gasoline
solar not powerful enough
wind you have to be moving
hydrogen, i won't think i will be playing with hydrogen
palm size nuclear, yea right... in 50 years?
steam power, show me an example of using the electric motor's heat to boil the water into steam then convert the steam into power, otherwise this is just way too inefficient.
so the only other option to GENERATE power, is using gasoline...
