DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE WITH CHILDREN OR IF YOU ARE NOT
WANTING TO DO AN EXCITING, DIFFERENT TYPE OF CACHE!!!!!!!.... FROM
SOME OF THE LOGS SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO BE QUITE FUSSY MAMBY
PAMBIES..... SO IF YA DO IT AND DONT LIKE IT..... JUST LOG YOUR
FIND AND SAY THANX......RATHER THAN DOING A NEGATIVE LOG, OR EMAIL
ME THEM

Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (110 kV or above) to
reduce the energy lost in long distance transmission. Power is
usually transmitted through overhead power lines. Underground power
transmission has a significantly higher cost and greater
operational limitations but is sometimes used in urban areas or
sensitive locations.
Transmission lines mostly use three phase alternating current (AC),
although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway
electrification systems. High-voltage direct current (HVDC)
technology is used only for very long distances (typically greater
than 400 miles, or 600 km); undersea cables (typically longer than
30 miles, or 50 km); or for connecting two AC networks that are not
synchronized.
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form
of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electricity, wind
mills for mechanical power, wind pumps for pumping water or
drainage, or sails to propel ships.
At the end of 2009, worldwide nameplate capacity of wind-powered
generators was 159.2 gigawatts (GW). Energy production was 340 TWh,
which is about 2% of worldwide electricity usage and is growing
rapidly, having doubled in the past three years. Several countries
have achieved relatively high levels of wind power penetration
(with large governmental subsidies), such as 19% of stationary
electricity production in Denmark, 13% in Spain and Portugal, and
7% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland in 2008. As of May 2009,
80 countries around the world are using wind power on a commercial
basis.
Large-scale wind farms are connected to the electric power
transmission network; smaller facilities are used to provide
electricity to isolated locations. Utility companies increasingly
buy back surplus electricity produced by small domestic turbines.
Wind energy, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful,
renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces no greenhouse
gas emissions during operation. However, the construction of wind
farms is not universally welcomed because of their visual impact
and other effects on the environment.
Wind power is non-dispatchable, meaning that for economic
operation, all of the available output must be taken when it is
available. Other resources, such as hydropower, and load management
techniques must be used to match supply with demand. The
intermittency of wind seldom creates problems when using wind power
to supply a low proportion of total demand, but costs rise as does
the proportion.
Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by hydropower, i.e.,
the production of electrical power through the use of the
gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most
widely used form of renewable energy. Once a hydroelectric complex
is constructed, the project produces no direct waste, and has a
considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon
dioxide (CO2) than fossil fuel powered energy plants. Worldwide, an
installed capacity of 777 GWe supplied 2998 TWh of hydroelectricity
in 2006. This was approximately 20% of the world's electricity, and
accounted for about 88% of electricity from renewable sources.
RIGHT...... NOW THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY I SPOSE YA AFTER THE
CACHE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!
This cache is not ya standard cache, and has taken 6 months
prep work and time to find the right location to set it
off........
Cache is a micro (Bison tube) with Trav007's best cammo to
date!!!!!.....and situated on/'by'/beside/under/through.... some
green power boxes that are situated 'everywhere you look'..... And
they really are!!!!!! After doing this caches you will see them
stick out everywhere!!!!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR EVEN TOUCH THE GREEN METAL POWER
CONTAINERS...... CACHE IS NOT INSIDE THEM
