Few Chances for the Energy Box

摘要

Not everything that is technically feasible turns out to be appropriate in terms of economics and energy policy. One example: the energy box, which again and again is demanded by champions of additive forms of energy. It is technically possible to build engines driven with petrol, diesel fuel or gas which can be used as devices for micro power-heat connection. Nor are there any insoluble technical or legal difficulties in feeding-in excess current from energy boxes into the public supply network. In spite of this, the operation of energy boxes is not, either from energy policy nor economic points of view, nor even for environmental protection reasons, a contribution to solving present and future energy problems.
