http://solarsquirrel.com/blog/2008/05/ireland-is-so-cool/ The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. -Albert Einstein Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:27:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 http://solarsquirrel.com/blog/2008/05/ireland-is-so-cool/#comment-309 Steve Fri, 30 May 2008 14:15:38 +0000 http://solarsquirrel.com/blog/?p=90#comment-309 There are loads of sweet things being developed. I was looking at installing some Deep well geothermal plants down south - when they've pulled all the oil out the cavern is still filled with super heated water, which you can use to spin a turbine theoretically for ever... good use of left over holes in the gound. Only problem is they are not in the most accessable places. Tidal turbines could be pretty sweet.... or a nice line of wind turbines off the north cost of Ohio in the lake... where it's a wind power zone 3 - 4 and not a salt water environment... that would be good too.

What about tidal/offshore wind combination turbines? You know if anyone has done this? Seems logical...to someone who is not an engineer. Cool. What about tidal/offshore wind combination turbines?

What more could you ask for?" Ummmm...beer. Oh yea, they have great beer too. The Dublin Marathon is on October 27th. I'd love to run it. “green everywhere; clean air; fluffy sheep EVERYWHERE.
