Gasifier Experimenters Kit - Pole Shift Survival Information

Biomass Energy Foundation: Energy Rosetta StoneElectricity is a particularly difficult energy form to evaluatesince some of it is almost free (from hydroelectric dams longsince paid for) while newer sources reflect fuel or nuclearcosts. To illustrate the range an value of electric costs I haveincluded the humble AA battery which has a cost of $200 perkWh, 2400 times what we pay on the grid. Many people donot have access to grid based power and are paying $1-$10for battery stored power or diesel generated power.We have added a number of different prices for biomass toshow the wide spread between highly processed biomass(pellets) and “junk” biomass (negative tipping fee).The Rosetta Stone enabled scholars to decipher the Hieroglyphics ofAncient Egypt into modern Greek and English.Our Rosetta Stone Energy table below enables anyone to translatethe obscure energy units we now use into the commonly understoodkilowatts.Starting with James Watt in the 18 th Century, our use and understanding ofenergy has grown up in a very useful but confusing manner. The US andEngland used British Thermal Units, BTUs, while the rest of the world usedCalories for heat. Fortunately, nowadays we can all use the kilowatt both for heatand electric energy. We have made the conversions here and show costs basedon the Denver market.http://www.woodgas.com/energyrosetta.htm (2 of 2) [10/9/2008 08:22:56]
