Where I live in Southern California they build Solar Plants on top of the aquifer and then pump the water out, by the acre foot to run the plant, and they tell us they can do this forever, everywhere in the U.S., everywhere in the World.Except for water I'd agree. US aquifers where we get most of our's is nearly depleted. But for PBS documentaries though they don't talk about that much.

How is that? We have water for Solar but the water is almost all gone?

Renewables are going to last better than the current fossil fuels we use. It is better that we utilize them.
Seriously, no SUN? ---> how do you suppose the sun or solar radiation from the sun going to disappear anytime soon? According to physics estimates the sun is still going to shine for a few billion years before it bec0mes a red giant and eventually runs out of hydr0gen fuel.
How so that solar would continue to rely on oil? Are there not going to be advantages in technology in order to improve current design and method of how its produced?
How about wind? Does the wind will eventually stop to flow? As long as their is an imbalance in the heat distribution on the planet (which would certainly be continuing) there are certainly going to be wind currents.
How about the flowing water? Does the earth going to run out of water anytime soon? Is the water cycle going to stop anytime soon? Hydrothermal source is also a viable source of energy.
Geothermal. Is the interior of the Earth going to cool down anytime soon? Does it need oil to maintain the thousands of degrees of heat inside the earth?

Water and dust
On the engineering side, though, Darling says that there are one or two challenges that still could be “deal breakers,” at least for some technologies. The big one is water. Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, like traditional power plants, need to be cooled to run, and cooling takes water—lots of it. And of course, if water were abundant in the desert, it wouldn’t be the desert. At Ivanpah, on-site wells supply the plant with water, but that solution won’t always be feasible. “I can’t think of any technical way around that unless a dry cooling technology that’s effective and affordable is developed,” Darling says. “No one has really come up with a way to do that.”
For photovoltaics (PV), water is only needed to clean the panels, which brings up the second large problem with desert solar: dust. Solar panels and mirrors need to be cleaned almost daily if efficiencies are to stay where they need to be. Dust is not transparent, so even just one gram of dust per square meter of solar panel area can reduce efficiency by around 40 percent. At that rate, it doesn’t take long in a dusty desert for the problem to become intractable

It is well known that Solar requires massive amounts of water while only working in areas with no water, the desert. So how is it possible, you just stated the aquifers are empty but Solar is drawing water from those same aquifers.
Seems like you are the liar, old crock. I even gave you a little picture, old crock.

I wonder what percent of the earth's surface is covered in water?
I don't reckon the water cycle is going to stop anytime soon even if US aquifers are nearly depleted. Besides, the water being used for hydrothermal energy production are not the water underground but the water that keeps flowing from the mountains (which continually get's its source from precipitated water from the atmosphere) down to the rivers, waterfalls and streams.
and replace the wind turbines every five to seven years as they self destruct....The stupid it burns...A coal, nuclear or fossil fuel plant of any kind normally last 25-40 years. They're then replaced with a new generation of plants for another 25-40 years! You think it is free to do this? We can either choose to build a fossil fuel plant or a renewable one(wind farm, solar farm, etc) to do this job.

Yes but look at the growth rateDespite billions spent in investments over decades, solar energy will only make up 0.6 percent of total electricity generation in the United States, according to a report released by the Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA).

IEA calls for $36 trillion more in clean energy investments
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The International Energy Agency said the world's clean energyinvestments are sorely lacking and this week called for an additional $36 trillion of funding by 2050.
In a sharply-worded introduction to a 700-page report, IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven said governments and private industry need to do far more if the world is to hold global warming to what most scientists say is an acceptable level.
"Our ongoing failure to realize the full potential of clean energy technology is alarming," said van der Hoeven. "Under current policies, both energy demand and emissions are likely to double by 2050."
The IEA consists of mostly industrialized nations and was set up in the early 1970s to counterbalance OPEC. It conducts energy market research and helps coordinate releases from strategic oil stockpiles.

so, how does your post have anything to do with the post you responded to?World wide. What's wrong with you? Can't you read?$ 36 trillion dollars, I wonder if Congress can be bi-partisan, compromise, and work together to become filthy rich.
