Not FOS. Dont bother trying. The power output DEPENDS ON angle to the sun.. Pure and simple. It's you who haven't given an ounce of thought or effort to research and understand. So everything said is COMPLETELY true.. And the fact that you're impugning I'm the idiot or James Hansen is an idiot means that's no discussion or educational value here wasting time with you..
How can you simply DODGE all the assertions I made about how CHILDISH this "map" thing was? Gave you 3 or 5 SOLID PROBLEMS with this fairy tale and you completely ignore them rather than TELLING ME WHY MY ASSERTIONS are wrong. That's not a discussion, more like talking to some religious zealot who isn't INTERESTED in defending their views.
Possible reasons for that reluctance to actually discuss are -
1) You can't. Either not ready to argue facts, definitions on the "beliefs" that you hold.
Or
2) You wont do it do because your beliefs are based more on FAITH in every bit crap you read on the Internet that FITS your religious defense of said beliefs..
I AM an electrical engineer.. With aux degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Signal/Image Processing.. THIS STUFF is child's play compared to my career..
You're not listening. You're not discussing. You're DREAMING mostly and repeating a whole bunch of crap that you've been SUPER SOLD on by skillful marketing of "alternatives"..
It's NOT 10 acres., You should stop embarrassing yourself and answer the assertions I MADE.. Do heavy plants run NIGHT SHIFTS??
Batteries or "capacitors" ARE NOT a solution to that. In fact, If the people of this country dont WAKE the FUCK UP -- a "battery centric" work-around for the FAILURES of wind and solar coupled with the MANDATES to push for "all electric vehicles" WILL LITERALLY BURY US in an ecological and economic armageddon..
I'd go into detail about how UNSUSTAINABLE and ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE burying ourselves knee deep in Lithium batteries would be -- but this "dream" of yours is not allowing you to think critically in any manner.
I have seen solar panels that will automatically turn to face directly toward the sunlight. Though I myself don't think that doing so precisely towards the sun is all that necessary. Even light at a slight angle will work just as well. Next, the only thing I ever said is that solar panels work. You can either choose to believe it or not. And before you called James Hansen the godfather of global warming. Exactly when did he come up with this revelation. Because no doubt there were others who mentioned the problem before him. And we learned much more about the problem after him.
Next, there is one problem concerning solar panels that you never mentioned. That problem being that they work. Is that truth a little too inconvenient for you? And as I said before, Elon Musk thinks it could be done with a smaller area than the one I showed on a map of the U.S. And he is an accomplished engineer. Who are you compared to him. Nobody I would say. Call it a matter of "faith" if you want to. But the billions he has earned doing the engineering he does speaks volumes.
Next, we have an automobile parts manufacturing plant in my town. I would say that with the rooftop and parking lot combined it is over 10 acres. In a nearby town they have an automobile manufacturing plant. I would guess that the total land is well over 100 acres.
Next, batteries and capacitors are the way to go. But not the only way. Battery technology is improving all the time. And as with anything else, the more widespread their use becomes, their price is likely to drop. They also have super capacitors that can supplement the power of an electric car. And they say in some cases replace the batteries completely. Capacitors can also store energy as quickly as you can put electricity into them. They also last longer than rechargeable batteries. Then there are other ways to store excess energy as I've mentioned often enough. Using excess power to speed up a large perfectly balanced disk or heating sodium
Next, how in the hell can going with all electric cars bury us in either an ecological or economic armageddon. The use of fossil fuels is already heading us toward an ecological armageddon. We can't do any worse than that.
