Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
Also, I didn't see in the article any discussion of dissipation of energy during long distance transmission.
Did the author mail away for his EE degree? Sheesh! Vee equals Eye-squared time R. The longer the electic wire the greater the R (resistance). You can’t assume away electrical resistance, it’s intrinsic to the material that the wire is made from.
Wind mills and solar kill 30 million birds and raptors (and not a few people). I cant imagine what it will be when they up it 100 fold
This hypothesis that there is enough wind and solar to power a nation is just plain and simple malarchy... unless we become Zimbabwe on the economic scale. Maybe then. Of course, that’s what the Obamanites want.
While we have literally been wasting trillions of dollars chasing windmills and rainbows... The German’s and Chinese have been perfecting large scale fusion projects. The Chinese are now able to contain and control and sustain 50,000,000 degree ball of plasma for ten seconds. They are now aiming for ten minutes and 100,000,000 degrees.
Whoever cracks this nut first (and it sure does not look like it is going to be us) will have the world clamoring at their doorstep.

A Frightening History of the Militant Greens
http://jackidaily.com/2016/01/08/a-frightening-history-of-the-militant-greens/
Robert Zubrin’s book, Merchants of Despair, shows how some of the most tragic events of the 19th and 20th centuries were inspired by radical environmentalists who used the “green†agenda to mask scary ambitions.
When I see Ms. Zielinski and her friends leading by example, I might give some brief mental consideration to the notion.
IF they were serious, they’d be pushin Nukes...
The study in Nature that they reference is paywalled but some references to that paper talk about offshore wind. That’s what they want to stick us with here in Virginia and that would be a complete disaster.
Exactly.
How about, no.
National socialism.
It’s so easy. A massive federal land grab to install billions of solar panels and wind turbines.
The ONLY viable way to save solar and wind power is to build dams. But what are the chances of a couple thousand more dams being built anywhere in the country?
We can’t build nuke plants, can’t build dams, can’t build coal plants, can’t build gas fired plants, can’t build geothermal plants. BUt Siemens and Vestas can get a few trillion dollars in subsidized mandates to build those monstrosities dotting the land scape.
It is even easier. Energy would cost so much more that much less of it would need to be provided. As the middle class disappears more and more people’s energy needs can be simply ignored to make it even less costly. Favelas and barrios are wonderful institutions for saving energy resources.
Problem is despite 3000 miles across the country it is still dark for several hours across the whole country.
Solar panels can’t work all the time no matter how high the voltage or heavy the conductors.
Clean Lines Energy Partners has 4 windlines planed and Tres Amigas has two. There is another from Wyoming to the west coast.
Boone Pickens had it right in 2006 when he said the govt needs to get out of the way and let the private sector build these transmission lines.
Yes, it might be best if we developed room-temperature superconducting wire first.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
Yep, just have 32x the generating capacity in renewables and a supergrid, and it will work./sarcasm
I got another idea, just kill off everyone on the planet, its cheaper!
