Our Solar/Alt Energy Future

The wind spins the windmill.

Oh dear, please read post #353 to catch up

Yep. Got it. The Sun.

Nope, nuclear fusion power plants on planet earth.

No solar today throughout New England, zero

You're like the dopes who think you can't get sunburned or skin cancer if it's not a sunny day.

No, we are not.

Solar is so bad, the government has to pay companies to build it.

The government pays people to build solar, then changes the laws governing how much we pay for electricity.

You think you are pretty smart, insulting and demeaning, but that aside you prove you don't know shit about electricity.

For the majority of Americans, most Americans, we don't get skin cancer at all. It is not even proven that the sun causes cancer.

You really are a fucking idiot.

try googling 'demand load calculation' , some are drag/drop

this isn't rocket science, and is what your poco and/or state officials will need for your electric heat pump future

Someone is wrong, sparky ,either you or the state of Maine and their already-installed 100,000 heat pumps.

For a glimmer of what’s possible, look, for instance, to Maine — and its push for residents to replace oil and gas furnaces with heat pumps, which run on electricity. The state has already exceeded the goal it set in 2019 to install 100,000 pumps by 2025, a pace three times the national average. It did this through a program that negotiated lower retail prices and that offers generous instant rebates at big-box stores. It also reduced the paperwork barriers for low-income homeowners to qualify for rebates and for contractors to get licensed to install the pumps. The result: Many Mainers have seen reductions in their overall energy bills and in their fossil fuel emissions.

Look up any state's poco, and we get this Syth>

​	Substation transformer with at least 20% capacity remaining​
​	Substation transformer with less than 20% capacity remaining​
​	Substation transformer with less than 10% capacity remaining​
​	Due to system limitations, interconnections on this circuit may experience higher costs and delayed interconnections​

The result: Many Mainers have seen reductions in their overall energy bills and in their fossil fuel emissions

Sorry, but electricity is the most expensive fuel, and it's going to get a LOT more expensive as folks stress out our infrastructure

You really are a fucking idiot.

It is proven that if you get no sun you are unhealthy and could get cancer.

If the sun was that bad, we would all have left arm cancer, from driving.

As usual, sichaholic just can't engage in conversation

With subsidies, feed in tariffs, the disregard of the laws that ruled and regulated the Utilities, the answer is no.

You may or will save money on electric bill, but it is an artificial, government mandated, ruled, and regulated saving. The savings has no relation to the energy consumed or how it is created. The savings is what the government dictates in order to be able to force Solar energy upon us.

We all must remember, it is the ultra rich that is profiting from solar energy.

The ultra rich profit off of petroleum. Should we get rid of it?

Solar panels are a product of petroleum. Solar Panels is an inefficient use of Petroleum. We must get rid of Solar Panels, as a government created/financed industry.

Huge subsidies are needed for people to purchase. Teh taxpayers are gouged. Heat pumps are better in some areas than others. It depends on electricity and there are indications it will affect the electrical grids at some point. Our politicians do not even want ot harden the grid against EMP cheaply let alone expand electrical capabilities.

Why did you dodge my question? Is it wrong or bad that the ultra rich profit off of petroleum?

Try to be honest just once.

Huge subsidies have been given to the petroleum industry every year for decades.

What part of solar panels are products of petroleum? Be specific.

No part of solar is made without petroleum, tons of petroleum per pound of solar. Hence I say it is a product of Petroleum.

Liar, did I not go through this with you before and you were not able to list any subsidy.
