By the way, the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine, so the futility in reality is depending on alternate energy sources. We must have enough energy to meet peak demands during these periods, and American's are not going to tolerate blackouts on a nation wide scale thanks to dependency on alternative energies.
All this discussion may be futile in itself however, if these new bloom boxes work as planned. Supposedly they can produce more energy from water than it takes to run them, and every household in America may eventually be able to afford them.
However, this is not the answer to our over population issues either. All our resources, including water (that this device uses) will continue to diminish which will drive up the cost of everything including water, metals such as copper and aluminum, and wood. Once you drive up the cost of your resources, it has a cascading effect, which reaches every level of society. This means more of your money goes to providing the necessities of life, rather than luxuries. Overpopulation if not stopped will still be our biggest downfall. The only thing minimizing the impact so far is the fact that people get on food stamps, which frees up some of their money for the luxury items such as cell phones, cable tv, internet, nice cars, and nice wardrobes. However, it won't be long before 50% are on social security, 25% are on government freebies, and 25% are working for the government. There's no possible way that is going to work. Certainly the people on social security and the people who are working for the government can't possibly pay enough taxes to pay their own salaries, and the people on food stamps are presumeably too poor to pay taxes, so who does that leave to pay the bills?
