La-la Land or What?
radio.va7dh says... "Another thing which has not been tried but has some merit is power from the interaction of the earth and Sun's magnetic fields. The scale would be large and probably require countries to work together."
It's great to hear about this new breakthrough. As an electrical engineer, I obviously haven't been keeping my ear to the ground (or should it have been to the sky?) so I have missed out on hearing about it. We should get the IPCC onto it - they are great at getting countries to work together.
So why don't you just knock up a prototype and report back?
I won't hold my breath, though, if you don't mind. And while I am waiting I will continue to point out that coal, gas and nuclear do the job extraordinarily well.
