Worth looking at the losses in the network for a bit of research – it is a major factor too.
If we could have a lossless system, we could power ourselves off geothermal, wind and solar with no need for burning stuff!
When you look at proposals like Coopers Gap Wind Farm, and the potential in them, it makes you wonder why we even bother with coal fired power!
Something I am a big advocate for is the need to become less reliant on centralised infrastructure – simplified to be, power sources for areas of settlement (not reliant on one massive power station!!!).
Did you like the cartoon ‘Doug’, You have a very easy on the eye style, much like that Saturday morning timewaster. Loving the inkwork, keep up the good fight.
Also – most enterprises need to make money to exist. many farmers/landowners/state forests could make a reasonable cottage income using their land as a rpower source. for dairys it would offset effluent and carbon costrs.

Fascinating stuff for sure…

I am planning on making my next (or second-next) cartoon on matters relating to energy loss Matt. Thanks for the comments as always.
