Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How wind can power the world's mass transit
No need to be so science-fictional. Learn from history, or try doing what has been done before the Industrial Revolution. But just do it determinedly and thoroughly.
What is one way to run a train without fossil fuels? Using electricity generated by a nuclear power plant doesn’t sound any greener, either. Hydroelectric power sounds like a viable option in a place where there are plentiful water and sufficient elevation to fall the water, but the environmental impacts around the area and along the river need to be studied carefully.
The national Dutch rail service came up with a bold idea to run all of the country’s electric trains by wind power, the nation’s proud traditional renewable energy source, and implemented it! Now the nation’s trains are all run by renewable energy.
It seems that determination and commitment realized this remarkable achievement.
Enjoy watching the video and reading the article about this human ingenuity with simple technology.
