It looks like it may have problems in gusty winds but I guess they know what they are doing ...

I'll try and find it - it was a hard copy several years ago.

And I'm not saying that power station use less concrete and metal - but they use less concrete and metal per watt produced (ie they produce much, much more energy)

Ok cool. :thumb:

Am not really a scientist (I'm more in to the human aspects behind environmentalism), but I do support renewables.

Do you remember who published the report?

Traditional nuclear plants have almost no emissions, but uranium requres quite some time to diminish.

That's not entirely true. The plants themselves don't cause much in the way of emissions, but all of the shit surrounding it (the mining of uranium, and so on) doesn't make them much cleaner than any of the fossil fuel plants. So I read anyway.

Incidentally, these hydrogen fuel cell cars. Are they possible on a larger scale as a power plant instead?

Naah,

Hydrogen fuel cells is all to do with how energy is stored

Hydrogen is made by applying electricity to water

So you need electricity in the first place. And to do that you'd need wind turbines, solar, etc.

Everytime a scientist gets close to announcing a new limitless fuel source they mysteriously die .. another one went last month.

True, but there will be surrounding activities to other types of power plants as well. Still have to dig for coal, search for gas on the seabed or make those windfarms as well. However, not sure about which one of them that genereates the highest amount of surrounding activities though.
