Picture power harnessed above and then employed to pump water from a low lake to a high lake where both lakes are lake front properties where people retire from years of work into homes that produce their own power by Solar Panels on their roofs; you go that?
Now this community also employs wind mills and Solar updraft towers so as to make as much power as possible.
The sky is the limit.
The idea is to make so much power that no one needs any more power ever. Power flows like water – literally.
This community can reduce the price of power to nothing once the savings in power costs purchase the infrastructure just like one solar panel illustrates.
You pay for one Solar Panel. The solar panel produces power that you don’t have to pay for and eventually the savings in power costs pay for the Solar Panel. The Solar Panel may be paid off in one year and that Solar Panel may keep on producing power for 24 more years.
That same investment and return on investment can be employed toward this imaginary twin lake community. The idea behind the two lakes is to make sure that excess power is stored whenever excess power is produced. The upper lake is a battery. Whenever the community isn’t consuming available power the excess power is used to pump water from the lower lake up to the higher lake. Between the lakes the water is blocked off with a Dam. When the sun is not shinning and the wind is not blowing and the tide water generators are not keeping up with the demand for power the Dam allows water to flow through turbines from the high lake to the low lake and the pumping station is turned off until demand lowers and producing increases – again – on sunny days and/or windy days.
If all the people in town employ electric cars too, the costs in savings are enormous since an electric car currently costs 2 cents per mile compared to a gasoline car costing 13 cents per mile at current prices of gasoline and current rates of consumption (4 dollars per gallon and 30 miles per gallon).
That is at least 10 cents per mile less cost for all the miles traveled in the community where no coal is burned, no gasoline is burned, no natural gas is burned and everyone lives in a lake side community.
That could also cause the price of desalinization to drop very low so as to create even more lake side communities near the ocean where salt water can be turned into fresh water when pumping salt water to the lake side communities. Low lakes could be fresher water lakes. Upper lakes could be salt water lakes.
Don’t forget too; how sewage is a source of more power:
