    Alternative Power Source for SE

    Just a thought, but I seem to remember someone posting that SE will be losing 4 million for the month of April due to the servers being shutdown to conserve power. Now, I'm not sure how high the prices of gas are over in japan, But maybe SE could be using gas powered generators to power the servers b/c even if it costs 2mil for the gas for a month, at least they would be making money. just a thought xD

    It won't matter. There will be hubs out of power that the game goes through to connect to the Internet. Just wait it out.

    I'm sure if they got sources like that they are getting used for more important stuff atm, and it's probably still not enough, or Japan wouldn't be going through scheduled black outs.

    GE had 3 truch-mounted turbine generators ready to go in Florida last night--were just waiting on air transport. 7 More are slated to go over shortly afterward. They can crank out up to roughly 60 MW each. So, combined, they will hopefully be able to replace the loss of the output of at least one reactor I think.. forget what each one was rated at. Bear in mind that these reactors only supplied like 30% of Tokyo's total power too, so once they can get the grid repairs done...hopefully this will knock out most if not all of the blackouts.

    Not a perfect plan, and it will take time...but it's progress.

    hydroelectricity, canada will hook you up.

    edit: that being said, if there were alternative power sources, they would be best used for the same reason the servers were shut down, to conserve and reroute electricity in times of emergency.

    Nice ideas guys, but remember they still don't have lines to connect to the mainland and recieve extra power yet.

    I know there are company's that make profit from providing portable power generators, much like GE's turbines, It's just such a shame they aren't also providing support for the Japanese people.

    Thumbs up to GE, and lets hope more companies send out some generators soon.

    Actually they do have a line to connect to the mainland. Russia is sending 6,000 megawatts to them over it.
