Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Systems
Laura asks…
Is America doing a good job at training it’s future geniuses?
Standardized testing seems to be pushing teachers to teach toward the mean, more than every before. Can this system train the next generation’s Einstein’s, who will solve problems like Climate Change, Food Distribution, Sustainable Energy, and Political Issues that are arising.
admin answers:
Sadly no. The next generation’s Einstein will need to think outside the box, and that is not encouraged in our public school systems.

How is high speed rail in the UK sustainable?
I’ve heard that high speed rail in the UK is sustainable. Obviously I know it hasn’t been built yet but the government say it will be sustainable? How so? And also what is the argument about it? WHY IS IT CAUSING SUCH A STIR?

Elia – Good or bad? In the new scenario of alternative transport, a specific type begins to stand out: the bullet train. Several countries have already begun to adopt this model and plan to invest heavily to make real mass transit in this type of vehicle. Despite the promised environmental, economic and social, some environmentalists oppose this transport option.For advocates, the bullet train can help reduce global warming and protect environmental resources. Studies undertaken by the Authority Railway High-speed link from California to invest in bullet trains, rather than building new roads or airports can generate several benefits by 2030.These benefits include: lower environmental impacts, low energy (1 / 3 of what it takes to move planes and 1 / 5 required for car travel) and economy of 12.7 million barrels of oil, even with the improving the energy efficiency of transportation today. The study also shows that the construction of high-speed rail can prevent the emission of more than 5 million tons of CO2 by 2030.Today these vehicles can pass the 500 km / h and carry a lot of passengers in a short time. But experts DeFede that this speed can be much higher. This makes them more advantageous than the planes as they do not spend time with loading and unloading and are not subject to climate change. They are also safer and quicker than traveling by car.
Despite the apparent advantages, many people have sniffed for these investments. For some environmentalists, the implementation of this system requires the construction of new railways, since the high-speed trains require rails specific.He adds: “Do not get me wrong. With the decline of the airlines and the condemnation of the automobile transportation system, we desperately need a new rail system. But we already have a system that was envied around the world to be abandoned. And right now we have neither the time nor the resources to build a new parallel network.All the promise of government, so let’s wait –::
