We’re hearing a lot about alternative energy these days. But ethanol, wind and wave energy, and fuel cells, so far have many negative externalities. Solar power is still inefficient and expensive. Why don’t we hear more about the potential of free energy, the energy that exists freely in air, and is available to all nations equally? Check out this link to see all the potential technologies that can tap free energy.
I’ve also been thinking about the fresh water problem. At least one-third of the planet faces severe water shortages. More than one billion people worldwide lack access to safe and sufficient water for their household needs, subsistence and livelihoods.
Now, here’s a wild thought – what if free energy could power atmospheric water generators, a developing technology that can produce water from the humidity in air (link)?
