23% of US electrical power provided by renewable first 9 months of this year

good luck finding out, finding facts about solar and wind is near impossible, it takes hours, if not days of searching

what is known, is solar and wind energy destroy the earth by the square mile

The numbers looked bad, so they started hiding them.

Then you had a power problem. Duh!

I'd hardly call that a problem.
If you want to see power problems look at California they have rolling blackouts every summer.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Okay,I lost power

I'd hardly call that a problem.

NewsWeak?

That article is from July ya dumbshit.
And it appears your map shows one county up near the pan handle.
Oh....112? We never got close to 112 this summer.
I wont even call this a nice try. Pathetic would be the better word.

Thus the projected high temps, DuHhhhEEEEEE!
Your friends said you were born so dumb you broke the measuring stick.

WTF are you talking about?
Your post is a major fail just admit it.

Texans asked to turn up thermostats after sweltering heat knocks six power plants offline | CNN

With an early-season heat wave searing much of Texas over the weekend, the nonprofit that manages power to more than 26 million customers wants them to turn up their thermostats.

Ya dumb shit.
None of it came to fruition.
There were some minor outages and thats it.
I've lived in Texas for 57 years and I've never experienced power outages due to summer weather.
Go pound your putter over some other fantasy ya freak.

It's really all about you, isn't it.

Which State Has the Most Power Outages?
It is important to understand that power outages are typically calculated in terms of the number of buildings that lose power. More than one person could be impacted by a power outage impacting a building. States with more people are also more likely to see higher numbers of power outages because they have more people living there. CA is the state with the highest number of power outages every year. They also have to institute rolling blackouts from time to time due to wildfire risks. Some of the other states with high numbers of power outages include NY, MI, TX, and OH.

If you could do it economically, it would have been done already by private companies. The private sector does everything better than government.

You silly ass, it is being done by private companies. And private individuals on their homes as part of a VPP. And by more and more farmers double cropping their fields with agri-voltaics. And you last sentence is simply a massive display of ignorance.

 

[Old Rocks]

No way was 23% from solar and wind. So that figure must include something else such as hydro.

And I see no link that says 23%.

then there is this

So you did not watch the video. Dumb ass, it was stated several times what the various renewable sources provided. Just love it when you 'Conservatives' flap your yaps and prove that you always speak from ignorance, even when the facts are right in front of you.

 

[Old Rocks]

To replace one fossil fuel power generation plant you need this but 22,000 times bigger (larger than Manhattan) . To replace a typical nine gigawatt nuclear power plant you need this cover the area of a typical West Texas county.

The only reasons they are being built today is because uneconomical energy policies with subsidies and mandates. When those are gone these arrays will be uneconomical to operate and the farm land under then will be unusable because of the heavy metals contamination.

This is what we need to be doing to all these stupid solar farms.

Another dumb **** liar who has no knowledge of the facts or solar or wind. If one put solar over all the parking lots in the US, you could power our whole nation, 24/7, with storage, with nothing but that solar.

 

[Old Rocks]

I am not watching a video. And the point of the thread is a misfire. You only get power from solar when the sun is shining and it diminishes even in day time depending on the cloud cover. Wind is a disaster that is also unreliable.

That means you need backup systems for when neither one is producing. Meaning TWO power systems, not one. Meannging far higher costs all around.

Damn, but you are one stupid uninformed moron. There are many storage methods, from batteries to pumped hydro, just to name two of many. Solar and wind are the least expensive forms of new generation, even when you add the cost of storage.

Lazard’s Levelized Cost of Energy+ (LCOE+)

Lazard’s Levelized Cost of Energy+ is a widely cited report that analyzes the cost competitiveness of renewables, energy storage, and system considerations.

[Old Rocks]

All energy totals are self reported by utilities and or solar farms and wind farms.

There is no one, giant meter, that states the amount of power from each source.

If you care to look at the details, all Solar is nameplate generation, all Wind is nameplate generation, not actual production.

Anybody care to explain how Ivanpah is included?

And, why or how is Hydropower included, sometimes it is called renewable, other times not?

Burning of wood, biomass is also included? Why? How?

So dont worry, even though we are paying the price through inflation, Renewables are still a trickle. Why do you think the cost is still over a $100 trillion?

Now Ms. Elektra, you are a liar from the word go. In South Australia where the first megawatt battery was used to store excess wind energy, then release it at at peak usage, the price of electricity has declined. Will decline even further when their massive VPP comes online.

 

[Old Rocks]

I want to know what % of their output is from solar and what % is from nat gas.

And how many Ivanpah's are being built. What is going great guns, photovoltaic and wind, have nothing to do with Ivanpah.

Right in front of you is a computer. A few seconds on google and you can find all the information you claim is not there.

Ah, what a lovely display of willful ignorance. In LA County alone there are 101 square miles of parking lots. Add in private parking, and you have enough area to power the whole county and much of the rest of California.

In LA, land dedicated to parking is larger than Manhattan​

How much storage? How expensive?

None, hopefully.

Like Ivanpah, they wouldn't happen without tons of taxpayer subsidy.

That was in May ya dumbshit.
In my 57 years I've never once had to change my habits when it came to setting my thermostat.
I put it wherever I want it.
