So much for a Nissan Leaf!

I haven't done BWR's .however the PHWR , PWR and even coal thermal plants are similar enough. For the sake of those outside the industry. The condensation of steam after the last stage of the low pressure steam turbines . They are very similar.
The BWR can't risk exposing reactor coolant though a single wall heat exchanger to the environment .
Our managers learned , maybe learned ? That boiler feedwater purity , PH and entrained air/oxygen is vital .
After running for years with minerals in the ppm and having air ingress into boiler feed water at the condensers . The boilers were loaded with lime, calcium and copper from the turbine do sensor tubing .
It's just that steam towers on a thermal , PHWR or PWR located beside a lake or river is a questionable expense .

Excellent. You've posted something I can agree with. Name calling is childish. . . . but what if someone is grown up and really IS an idiot?

Do you agree then, if someone thinks buying a battery operated car will change global climate change or (are doing their part), you would have to be, a fool, halfwit, ignoramus, moron, imbecile, and more? You don't have an opinion, or single thought of your own, you post links to others who do. You are not debating anything you just post links to sites (already admitted by themselves as wrong). No one knows your own thoughts, when you state everyone knows what I think, that's a complement big time. It's gutsy to tell people what you think. HS

OTOH, Toyota is set to introduce a fuel cell powered car later this year. Zero pollution, no coal fired power plants needed to charge your car while kidding yourself about saving the world. Just need to pour in hydrogen and emit water vapor. The problem with a fuel cell powered car is getting the hydrogen, but that was a similar problem with gasoline in 1900. Once a network of stations exists, fuel cell power will be good! Gotta wait awhile, though.[/QUOTE]

What is the source of hydrogen ?

Anyone who thinks buying a battery operated car is going to change the earths climate is a idiot! HS

HS,
Here's a handy tip when insulting folks....

A and An Usage Cheat Sheet

When to Use

Examples

An

When referring to words that start with a vowel sound

An apple
An emu
An umbrella
An ice cube
An idiot
An honor*


A

When referring to words that start with a consonant sound

A family
A person
A pet
A man
A union**

*”Honor” starts with a consonant; however, the “h” is silent. Therefore, the word actually begins with an “o” sound.
**”Union” starts with a vowel; however, the initial “u” makes more of a “y” sound, which counts as a consonant in this case.

At times I'd use bully or overconfident. Nothing gutsy about calling anyone you disagree with an idiot.

There are many who conclude that reducing the rate at which fossil fuels are consumed will have a positive effect on climate and pollution. The use of electric cars and batteries (ever changing designs) may be a part of it. What is the possible positive to come from your choice to label those who disagree with you? Just state your view, preferably with something factual and resist the temptation to be so gutsy

You sure attack me as though I have views. Why not attack the information I reference with something other than an opinion. And to be honest (gutsy), I see little from you that is original.

Example: Arguments from Global Warming Skeptics and what the science really says
Find something original you have claimed as a fact about climate change denial that isn't in the referenced list of 176 myths.

I work at remaining civil...

I would say on this forum that if its clear enough why does it need to be said. Pretty bright bunch of people own tractors! No need to state that cow manure stinks. :thumbsup:

Well HS, I guess you need to fill out a hurt feelings report......There are sensitive, well educated people out there that don't appreciate an "if the shoe fits" opinion. Well wait a minute, let's check above....yep, I think Ive got it right "an opinion"

What makes you think your links are true and mine are not? Mine have not been proven wrong almost 20 years. The people involved in writing these models, which are not evidence of anything, have already admitted to altering of data and lying about the models and predictions. You are simply wrong about man made global warming. PS; I didn't call you an idiot. You did that all by yourself. I don't give a flying walinda if you buy a battery operated car, but the idea that you demand I do, or help you buy yours, because you believe a hoax, is not tolerable. HS.
