New Report Says Solar Will Achieve Near-Global Competitiveness With Natural Gas By 20

[elektra]

Hell of a lot better then 100,000 people/year dying from health problems because of coal.

People like you really are clueless as you lie and spin everything to support your gods. Solar isn't even one thousandth as pollunt outside of a controlled manfracuturing process as coal that burns into our air.

Sad how some people live to spin.

Those 100,000 people need not of died had they not been working to provide the raw materials that went into the Vestas wind Turbine in this pic.


I know Matthew, that looking at this pic makes you believe that wind turbines magically fall to the ground and this one just did not make it, but honestly, this is an accident and wind turbines get made from raw materialsr like everything else, except in the case of wind power it takes much more raw materials. Those 100,000 people who died, they did work to produce this Wind Turbine, it takes fossil fuels to make Wind Turbines, they do not fall from the sky.

Or as the radio commercials used to say....

"Go Modern! Go Gas!"

and those for People's Coal Company (Rhode Island, 1960s) that echoed them after each "incident" with the commercial that began....

"Go Modern! Go Gas! Go BOOM!"

They stole that advertising campaign from the famous AC DC power showdown between Tesla and Edison... When Edison was designing electric chairs with AC power (and publically electrocuting circus animals) just for the Public Relations boost..

Wind, geothermal, solar, are the future. Coal is the past. Natural gas is a present transition fuel. Flap-yap all you want, no one listens or cares. The investors see where the money is at, and the grid scale batteries are in the works, which will make the alternatives much more competative than any of the fossil fuels.

Stupid fussil fuels can't compete...The renewables are per year, the fossil fuels are the total forever.

Solar Panels for the TUNDRA !!!!!

Because there's a REALLY REALLY REALLY BIG number impressive number that can produce energy for 6 hours a day on MANY days of the years...

 

[elektra]

six hours, maybe at best 1-2 hours during the fall-spring

Yes...fossil fuels can't compete..and this is why solar is...how many of, say, Amercian power generation in any 24 hours? 1%? Amazing results for something that can't compete. Well, either that or you are just dumb as a stump to say it.
