Has anybody been listening to this fool up in Alaska? Ummm.........we're being told ice is melting faster than Bolt can run the 100 yard dash which begs the question?
Why would we be ordering MORE icebreaking ships?
Obama wants new Coast Guard icebreakers in the arctic - CNNPolitics.com
When I hear that asshole's voice I turn off the source.
Really? Why don't you just give us the facts on the amount of sunlight that town gets at various times of the year. And the cost of fuel for generators for that town. Come on, Miss Sassy Lass, show us why that is foolish.I liked how he tried to sell solar to that town that gets like five hours of sunlight a day LOL

What is childish is that you cannot accept that a black liberal man is in the White House. And so you have to find reason to ridicule everything that the man says. Ah well, no one will remember who the hell you are, but President Obama will be remembered as the President that pulled us out of the Republican's attempt to put us into the Second Great Republican Depression.

No, from experience, they (solar photovoltaic panels) DO work "up there".
True, not nearly as well as at lower latitudes. Correct, for the additional atmosphere to penetrate. Also true due to limited (if any) hours of sunshine in winter.
However, WHEN COST IS NO OBJECT, the limited amount of electricity they produce does displace some quantity of expensive diesel fuel. But they don't displace the diesel generators which are required for the times when the sun don't shine.
You see as much solar on public buildings in the far north as you do because of government subsidies. On their own? Not economical.
Exception: Remote sites where it's impractical to haul fuel and access is limited to a few weeks a year. Requires vast amounts or battery storage but for things like radio repeaters very practical. Much more practical than wind machines that shed blades like snakes shed their skin.

You really do have to gimball and servo them to produce any reasonable fraction of capacity over the useful season. Radio repeaters and field telemetry can sleep in between traffic and be made very efficient. But it's hard to squeeze enough out for business or homes when the sun doesn't climb above 30 degs..
