Well after wading through the trolling and ad hominems on the previous page..with zero science offered to refute my tutorial for Mr. Trump, something occurred to me. Maybe I'm coming at this all wrong. Trump isn't a scientist; that's for sure. But he is involved in business....so...
Dear Mr. Trump, what makes better financial sense for a business' bottom line?
1. Watch the videos from youtube on page 1 here.
2. Consider that solar thermal is one of any number of ways to boil water to run a steam turbine; which is all any geothermal, coal, oil or nuclear plant does.
3. Consider that a solar thermal plant installation consists of rows of concave mirrors that follow the sun and concentrate that solar radiation on an elevated tube right nearby above them. And the tube is filled with thermal oil that heats up to 300 degrees Celsius with just sunlight concentrated on it (like burning a bug with a magnifying glass.) (200 degrees above the point where water boils). It is the simplest of technologies we have to boil water besides geothermal.
4. Given the cheapness of the costs of setting up a solar thermal plant vs a coal, oil or especially a nuclear plant (gawd! ) JUST to boil water....pay attention to #5...
5. Which power plant would generate more profit over time, say 10 years? A. A power plant that 365 days a year has to buy oil that was extracted from the ME at great military costs; it and/or coal locally at great environmental costs (which the "company" will have to pay for later down the line, if you consider US citizens including yourself part of "the company") or...god forbid..extraction of uranium and all those hidden unsustainable costs.. or B. A power plant tied to the hip with solar thermal; where every single day the sun shines in a given area, no matter where or how far North, is one less day you have to pay for fuel to provide your customers with power THAT YOU CHARGE THE SAME RATE AS IF YOU WERE BURNING FUEL...? Free fuel; while charging the customer as if you had to pay for the fuel...
C'mon Mr. Trump. You're a whiz at business. Watch the youtubes and let me know what your answer to #5 is.. Surely now that you're in power you could preside over deals made with Congress where carbon pig utilities can maintain their monopolies, with current charges in place, WHILE REDUCING THEIR COSTS IMMENSELY. Mr. Trump; it's cheap power sold at the same price as expensive power. Knock knock? Helloooooooo? Remember what they taught you in college?
