How will Chris Wright's Secretary of Energy nomination directly affect global warming..

[healthmyths]

Solar farms, not panels.

And nuclear power plants.

Yes.

And again... not one link or search for FACTS!!!
A) Costs..Solar farm cost
The average cost to build a solar farm is $0.89–$1.01 per watt, which means a 1 MW solar farm would cost
$890,000–$1.01 million

What is a Solar Farm? Costs, Pros, and Cons Explained

Are solar farms a practical way to utilize solar? Find out everything you need to know about solar panel farms, how much they cost, and more.

B) In 2023, fossil fuels generated about 60% of the electricity in the United States:
In 2023, the United States generated 4.18 trillion kWh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

www.eia.gov

So 60% of 4.18 trillion kWh (1,000 watts/hour) 2,508,000,000,000 kWh.
So how many solar farm to replace 60% of fossil fuel electricity generator plants:
A 1 megawatt (MW) solar farm generates about 4,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per day, 120,000 kWh per month, and 1,440,000 kWh per year.
OR 2,508,000,000,000/1,440,000 kWh per year or 1,741 Solar Farms will be needed at a cost of $1.01 million.
A 1 MW solar farm requires about 100,000 square feet of space or 1,742 solar farms will require 3,998 sq miles at cost of $2.5 million or $9,995,791,246 + $1,759,083,333 construction costs for total of $11,754,874,579.
So who will pay this additional $12 billion and in addition here are some solar farm problems...

Solar farms face several dangers, including:

• Natural resource concerns
  Construction and operation of solar farms can damage natural resources, such as soil, water, and air. These concerns include:

• Construction and operation of solar farms can damage natural resources, such as soil, water, and air. These concerns include:
  • Soil erosion: Clearing and grading land for solar farms can compact soil and increase runoff and erosion.
    
    
  • Water contamination: Spills of chemicals, such as dust suppressants, herbicides, and dielectric fluids, can contaminate groundwater or surface water.
    
    
  • Air pollution: Solar farms generate particulate matter, which can be a pollutant in nearby areas.
    
    
  • Wildlife damage: Clearing land for solar farms can harm native vegetation and wildlife by interfering with drainage and rainfall, or by causing direct contact.
    
• Severe weather
  Solar farms can be damaged by extreme weather, such as lightning, high winds, and falling debris.
  
  
• Fire
  Fire is a major risk for solar farms, and the solar industry may be underestimating the risk.
  
  
• Glare
  Solar panels can cause glare, but anti-reflective coatings and strategic panel placement can help reduce this.
  
  
• Local temperature
  Solar farms can raise local temperatures through a phenomenon called the “solar heat island effect”.

He won't dispel what everybody sees and feels

Only those who benefit from the wasted trillions of dollars on the scam.

 

[Concerned American]

The big difference between you and me is I do a little research and copy my source! Consequently between the two of us which do most people believe? You with your personal observations or me with FACTS...NOT GUESSES! Provide facts is so easy!

I didn't disagree with your misleading "facts" Where are all of these trees? 10,000 trees being irrigated in Phoenix or Las Vegas hardly hold the impact of 10,000 trees in the Amazon rain forest. Now run along with your politically charged BS.

 

[Concerned American]

A 1 MW solar farm requires about 100,000 square feet of space

LOL, try comparing a 1MW solar farm footprint in the Mojave desert to the footprint of that same 1 MW solar farm in Fairbanks. Again, you're full of numbers and facts, that are biased toward your point but hold little credibility when applied to the real world.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

We need to get rid of fossil fuels. The planet is telling us to.

Why isn’t Florida underwater?
How many climate cluckers predictions came true over the past forty years?
None.

Unless he intends to fly to the sun his appointment won't affect the climate. It will affect the extortion scam though that causes Americans to go broke trying to pay for gas, diesel fuel and heating oil and products related to high energy prices. .

Chris Wright's nomination will dispel climate change propaganda.

Donald Trump to nominate oil industry CEO and donor Chris Wright to be secretary of Energy

Trump picked industry executive Chris Wright as his nominee to be Energy secretary and to join a new Council of National Energy.

More importantly maybe he will dispel the hoaxes revolving Global warming by 1.5° C as a risk to human survival!
For example everyone blames CO2 but what about the heat from concrete, i.e. "urban heat islands"???
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, daytime temperatures in urban areas are on average 1-6° F higher than in rural areas, while nighttime temperatures can be as much as 22° F higher as the heat is gradually released from buildings and pavement.

This is a perfect example of how the biased MSM not covering stories like the following:
Where were the BIASED uninformed MSM covering this story?
The Earth's climate sustained 4,000 PPM of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere 500 million years ago when the Earth was average temperature 500 million years ago was likely significantly warmer than today, with estimates placing it around 24°C (75°F) with occasional spikes reaching as high as 36°C (97°F), compared to the current average of around 14-15°C (57-59°F).

Earth got even hotter than we thought during past 500 million years

The average surface temperature varied more widely and was even hotter than previously thought during much of the past 500 million years, according to the most rigorous study so far

More fundamentally... where did the 4,000 PPM of CO2 come from, i.e. were there any fossil fuel generated CO2 , cars, electric generating plants, humans???

This idiot will do as expected, on climate change... go backwards, until he is tossed out.

And a bunch of dummies with no college education will hee haw about how great he is.

I provided links substantiating my facts! How f..king dumb you are to criticize the numbers I supplied.
So you suggest that the Mojave desert has 3,996 square miles to hold the 1,742 solar farms to replace the 2.5 Trillion kWh that are generated by fossil fuel electric generating plants...Right??
Hmm... let's see.The Mojave Desert is located in the southwestern United States, spanning parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah American deserts, spanning roughly 47,000 square miles.

study.com

So you are willing to destroy nearly 10% of the Mojave desert with 1,742 solar farms?
YOU are so f...king dumb you have no idea what these numbers! For example how would this 2.5 Trillion kWh get transferred to the rest of the USA? And I've not even figured out how much land would be needed in the Mojave Desert for the transmissions towers! But see I'm evidently smarter than you to consider that aspect which again dummies like you have no idea!

Go back and read. That footprint would be miniscule compared to what would be required in Fairbanks. You present alot of numbers but they don't take in reality. Just like your contention that the urban forests that you base it on, would provide the same benefits as millions of acres of rain forest. I'm done with this conversation. You obviously are trolling anyone that disagrees with your narrative.

YOU make claims but never prove them.
So dummy!!! What does Fairbanks have to do with solar farms?
I suppose you'd have all solar farms in New York? Or Alaska?
It doesn't make any difference where they are located as the issue is replacing fossil fuel plants will require billions of dollars with solar farms. And with dummies like you supporting EVs, you can add another 25%
According to various studies, by 2050, the additional electricity needed for electric vehicles (EVs) could represent a significant increase, potentially requiring between 15-27 terawatt hours (TWh) of new power generation annually,

Correct, the only actual warming the Co2 FRAUD has is from surface of growing urban areas. Aside from that, Earth climate data is precisely

NO WARMING in the ATMOSPHERE
NO WARMING in the OCEANS
NO ONGOING NET ICE MELT
NO BREAKOUT IN Cane Activity
NO OCEAN RISE
NO RISE in SURFACE AIR PRESSURE

WHICH I AGREE WITH!!!
Dumb ass Biden's "I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM

What I would have agreed with Biden is if he made a statement like this..
"Fossil fuels are an important and daily supplier of ALL Americans and our government should be helping "fossil fuels" to reduce CO2 emissions WHILE helping the fossil fuel industries migrate to renewables when economic conditions are equalized, i.e. continued use of fossil fuels BUT helping the industry to improve CO2 emissions while also improving renewables."
But this dummy didn't think beyond the voter he was "guaranteeing to rid fossil fuels"!!!
How economically stupid!

We need to get rid of fossil fuels. The planet is telling us to.

That means no more wind turbines or Solar panels which get manufactured with fossil fuels.

Back to the horse and buggy is the democrat's policy
