No Worries!
In Kalifornia, they are mandating bidirectional EV charging “to strengthen the Grid.” You’re asleep in your home. You think you are charging your EV for the morning commute. Some government apparatchik decides they need the electricity more than you do. When you awake in the morning, your EV is only charged to 20%. Oh well, you can just use the bus.
They want to use all of the electricity in all the EVs “when needed.”
The classic “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.”
Mandate the EV, and take the electricity whenever you want. Lovely.
What could possibly go wrong?
Reminds me of when the Prius hybrid was new. It was considered the “correct” vehicle, saving the planet and all of the usual rotgut.
So, the Kalifornia democRATS decided to “reward” the Prius owners. They let the Prius drivers use the carpool lane, even if there was a only one person in the Prius.
Later, the government that giveth, the government that taketh away decided to rescind that “gift” of using the carpool lane.
So who will clean up all the broken solar panels when they turn to sh** in 5 years?
Eyesore
I wonder if those solar panels were provided by Obama’s paying back donors: “The Solyndra scandal involved the bankruptcy of the solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration.”
I have 14 year old pv panels operating at 45%. Guarantee life spans are guesses.
But the experts said ....
So WHO’S PAYING TO DISMANTLE THIS ATROCITY and restore the site to its natural state?
Do you clean your solar panels? Mine, admittedly the oldest of which are only 4 years old, seem to do as well as new. I clean them once or twice per year. And they have a warranty to operate at at least 70% capacity 25 years from now (linear decline, so call it no more than 1% per year decline).
It will be there for a thousand years and future archaeologists will assume it had something to do with Sun Worship religious ceremonies....................
Yet another Kalifornia f***-up.
What is going to happen with all of that scrap glass left behind when they pull the plug?
No solar panels...only mirrors.
They focused the sunlight onto a central tower where it boiled water to create steam. The panels are computer controlled to turn and continuously track the sun.
OK. Mirrors. Who is going to clean them up after they are all broken in 5 years?
Been cleaned every year for the last five years. Not a one of them has failed. They are: Mage Powertec 230 panels. Warranties ran out at 10 years. I have 12 in series feeding one inverter that is luck to hit 1400 watts at peak sun.
I bought another brand 2 years later that are much better today.
