Large Scale Solar Energy Generation May Be Over As Soon As It Has Begun (Mojave Desert)

That momentum hasn’t changed. In its coverage of Ivanpah’s ribbon cutting, The New York Times suggested that the era of large desert solar might well be over. It’s just too much easier, cheaper and quicker to cover rooftops and landfills and other already disturbed landscapes with solar panels, which have no moving parts and are thus far cheaper to operate than turbines operating at high temperatures.

Wackos need extreme heat to turn turbines which will save the planet from global warming. The circle of death.

Redirecting the sun is not a good idea.

...and how many taxpayer dollars were “invested” in this (and similar) scam? It is no wonder that these eco-boy-wonders have helped get the deficit into the $20,000,000,000,000.00 range. Soon we’ll be talking a lot of money.

[Iron Munro]

But the important point is that financial supporters of Obama and other democrats made a fortune building this boondoggle.

So, other than being inefficient power source and an ecological death machine, it has been a great success.

No Power!
No Way!
No How!

They oppose it ALL!!

The “Dirt Good!, People Bad!” crowd want 6 BILLION people gone NOW!

When these elitists have either moved into caves or start offing themselves, I’ll take note.

Unintended consequences

It boils down to a centralized versus a de-centralized approach. Collectivists always opt for the centralized solution. I’m looking forward to the day when each home can install and use a device to generate its own electrical power that provides all the energy a family would need, without relying on a “grid.”

Looking at that photo, and the reflection over-shooting the tower (as seen on the hills behind), how soon until there is a brush fire started by this?

[molson209]

Well if you have really stupid Idea and Obama is going to give you Billions to be really stupid ,go for it , LOL

[upchuck]

How much energy does that gadget crank out at night? Perhaps we need to adjust Daylight Savings Time some more?

[Gadsden1st]

Great book.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I get the impression that the bigger the failure, the more money Obama’s cronies rake in.

[Reeses]

I would love a solar flux device in my backyard to turn flying insects into fried worm food. It would cut down on my chemical pesticide use. Yes it would kill minority good bugs as well but I pay the taxes on this little plot of land and want all of them dead.

Just wait till these heavily subsidized companies want paid compensation for lost revenue “potential” if they are shut down.

Nice Solar Plant.

We will Take it.

[VeniVidiVici]

Amazing all the far-left clubs, i.e. Sierra Club, approved of this project while KNOWING the detriment it would cause to the environment and wildlife. Proves their opposition to most everything else is politically motivated and has nothing to do with ‘saving wildlife’.

[Darren McCarty]

It is, although I wasn’t referring to Henry Bowman.

[Darren McCarty]

Probably this summer.

Idiots.

[Travis McGee]

I’m waiting for the day (that might come) when you paint 3 or 4 layers of “paint” on your roof and generate your own solar power.

Just walk into any Home Depot and pick up a few buckets of solar power in a DIY kit.
