Well lookie here...solar panels are making our troops safer you fucking morons.

and look what the Brits are up to...

Oh, hot damn...here's China goddamn beating us AGAIN...(I'm a little tired of it, personally)
China's 'Solar City'
There is a big difference between tiny solar applications, and solar arrays poweful enough to either provide electricity for a house, or for a part of the grid. Something you just dont seem to get.
The cleaning thing is also an issue, one you seem to ignore.
Again, you can't get something from nothing.
Solar and wind energy are supplemental at best. It would be nice to employ that technology when building new house and such...when it's affordable. As far as a remedy to our energy needs, it's just not happening. They're not concentrated.

Gee, so if it only supplies 30% of our nations power needs we shouldn't do it?
Keep throwing money away on that finite fuel source, oil? That makes SO much more sense...
You mean like the solar city or the arrays that are powering our troops bases in Afghanistan? Like those? (which is making them SAFER)

Ha ha ha fucking ha. Solar power. obie doodle just increased his limo pool by 76%.. gore goes on aeroplanes and meech is frolicking on the taxpayers dime in Africa and how did she get there? Not by no ha ha ha fricking ha solar power.. Thanks asshole but no thanks. quit pissing our money away.
Germany has made a major commitment to solar power. We're finally doing something to catch up to them in many areas of renewable and clean energy.

There are no arrays powering our bases in Afghanistan. Read your link. The arrays are designed to recharge the batteries of the troops' personal gear. They're not powering tent city.

Solar and wind provide 1.3% of America's electricity.
Look at the table at the bottom. Solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, and wind provide 58.48 Terawatt/hours per year. Divide that by the total Terawatt-hours produced annually -- 4,369 -- and you get 1.3%.

Slow down, skippy and read it again. I said IF. I was not saying that we DO get 30% from solar, but that IF we did, why is that a bad thing.

IF the dog hadn't stopped for a shit he'd of caught the rabbit too!
Having 30% of our energy needs met by solar is a very achievable goal.
I stand corrected. That's cool.You mean like the solar city or the arrays that are powering our troops bases in Afghanistan? Like those? (which is making them SAFER)

yeah, they are
Marines Prove Energy Efficiencies in Afghanistan
Today, at least two forward operating bases in Afghanistan are powered entirely by solar energy, and several others get at least 90 percent of their energy from the sun. Marine Corps leaders are so pleased with the outcome that theyve written renewable energy into training plans and doctrine -- something Charette said he hopes will become joint practice with other services.
Wow...looks like they ARE powering tent cities aren't they?
IF the world was powered by unicorn farts, cherry pies would rain from the sky every morning.30%? Who told you that lie?Gee, so if it only supplies 30% of our nations power needs we shouldn't do it?

The problem is the short-sighted enviro-nuts who want to eliminate fossil fuels before an economical, practical, and scalable alternative is developed.You mean like the solar city or the arrays that are powering our troops bases in Afghanistan? Like those? (which is making them SAFER)

There you go reading links again!
It's all bullshit. If energy was the real concern there's enough in our own ground for about 500yrs at current levels. We can put RC cars on Mars for fuck sakes, don't tell me we can't burn it efficiently.
While we use this cheap energy, honestly develop alternatives, which I'm sure can be accomplished in a couple centuries.

Germany has an issue with land availible for the acerage they would need to use solar on a large scale, be it for photovolactics, or aimed energy thermal plants. At least in the US you have large areas of open unused land that can be converted to power generation.
But even here you have an issue, where the best land for solar is often some of our more fragile or beautiful ecosystems/natural terrains. Solar is a land hog, and I am suprised that hasnt been more resistance from people when you cover X acres of pristine desert will the crap you need to make a solar plant.
All energy generation has costs, despite what the people who beleive in the wind/solar fairies tell you.
