Uproar against price hikes at FEF meeting

energy @ 12:55 pm

Local Phillipino media reports caused an outcry recently due to the scheduled “feed-in tariffs” drafted by the country’s Department of Energy. The Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) hurled criticism at the government as it has been suggested that these “reverse tariffs” will be added to consumers’ power bills to subsidize various renewable energy technologies, until they become cheap enough to compete with carbon-based fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas).

This reawakened interest in renewable energy is another throw-off from the Philippines’ extraordinarily high level of concern for its environment.

The question we beg to ask is what about nuclear energy?

It’s virtually inexhaustible; it does not add to the carbon footprint; and it supplies enough dependable power to serve as the mainstay of baseload (24 x 7) power generation capacity.

We hope it will be considered along with the rest of the renewable energy sources.

    I don’t suppose someone can contact the Phillipino authorities to inform them of LENR? Here is one repeatable LENR Ni-H over unity experiment: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=230087767008023
    I’ve got more I can whip out if it means saving the poor people of the Philippines from being made even more poor with such an evil tax. Perhaps when Rossi & company come out with the 1 megawatt E-Cat this November, or Defkalion gets EU certification for their devices, then the Phillipino authorities will rollback the tax.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE
    In mid October of this year there will be an announcement and demonstration of the Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi Energy Catalyzer (e-Cat), nickel-hydrogen reactor capable of producing thermal energy. The e-Cat is an advanced model of the ‘Cold Fusion’ reactor introduced by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann in 1989. At the e-Cat demonstration, input and output measurements will be made by top world class scientists to confirm that the Rossi Energy Catalyzer is producing substantial amounts of energy and that a new era of clean safe energy has begun. For the latest information on the e-Cat, see: http://ecatnews.com/ .
