Elon Musk deserves a whoopin’ for daring to use the name of Tesla.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Utility scale solar generation requires more sunlight than most areas of the US can provide. That’s not economics, its physics. Investing in this technology despite the facts isn’t economics either, its stupidity.
Finding parts for equipment is already a problem in this throw away world. Finding qualified workers. ..?
Also not mentioned is the net waste of resources that will eventually result.
Add to that the customers that will be forced to return to the public utility grid that is not building its own power generation systems
In Germany, the rates for selling power back to the utilities were so high that Germans could buy a diesel generator and feed the power from the generator. They made a significatn profit after paying for the generator and for the fuel. The utilities only caught on when they discovered that they were buying a lot of power on overcast days.
Duh.
Solar and wind energy are FALSE energy alternatives. They don’t work. That is, their cost/benefit analysis is terrible.
1. Their environmental footprints are YUGE.
2. Short term maintenance costs and long term replacement costs are unacceptable.
3. Electricity production is not constant, so they both require an equal amount of traditional energy as backup. (When the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine)
4. They are totally UNNECESSARY!
Nuclear, (or nucular if you’re a Bush), has the smallest environmental footprint.
It is self sustaining. More nuclear energy can be produced than is used to produce it.
It is safe, ask France. Before you pounce, (Chernobyl was a design disaster and the Japanese are just morons).
Peak oil is a myth. Technology, (fracking, horizontal drilling, deep water drilling, etc.), outpaces consumption and the earth is constantly, quickly, producing new oil and gas through core heat and pressure, NOT piles of grass and woolly mammoth pooh.
Man made climate change is ridiculous on it’s face. Man is insignificant in proportion to the earth’s environment.
CO2 is not pollution. The earth, (God), regulates the balance between CO2 and O2. Man doesn’t need to, and HE CAN’T, even if he wanted to.
The CO2 pollution MYTH is the main reason the left is destroying the coal industry. Coal, our cheapest and most abundant energy resource, must be utilized to the fullest. The coal industry must be revitalized. It can be safe as well as clean.
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE NOW and you don’t need or want solar and wind to accomplish it.
Actually, the solar companies AND NV Energy are scamsters. NV Energy is a Warren Buffet scam that also gets subsidies by providing expensive solar. Warren is just mad that Elon is infringing on his shakedown.
