Electric green power.
Nah you need to make electricity with coal,  and that's the only way,  so its not actually green.
Everything is a secret,  why a secret if its such an important invention, that's what I want to know.  why doesn't everyone need to know that electricity just generates itself?
Its a big secret hanging over the planet,  who knows why.

Depends where you are in the world. We've got lots of rivers so our power is 90 something percent hydroelectric. So building electrical stuff like those planes here, actually makes a difference.

Here in the UK we have been slowly moving to greener methods - like wind power, we have loads of windmills now.

Sometimes I think some people want it to happen over night. I learnt about how they were researching wave and wind power way back in the 80s. These things take time.

Only recently did renewable energy overtake fossil fuels in my part of the world:

Well that's a seaplane. If you're over water and run out of juice you land on the water.

Where's the daredeviltry in that?
