Our Solar/Alt Energy Future

[MisterBeale]

1. If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star bulb, the amount of energy saved could light more than 3 million homes for a year.​

look, they've been sayin' this for decades Woodz

many poco's will send a customer a nastygram re> , 'you're usage is more than your neighbors'

then they call a spark up, retro the whole house, appliances, lights, you name it

and get the same nastygram a year later....

Much of the facts that he was conveying, were true, but they were hidden by the realities that I was trying to convey. When I did a search on an engine un-associated with Google or the WEF, or Blackrock, I basically came up with energy inefficiencies, which, pretty much reinforce, that woodz and I, are talking about the same thing. . . . but the folks that are trying to push us into a "forth industrial revolution," don't want those inconvenient facts told.

. . . I wonder how much my carbon foot print increased, just to uncover that?

Poor poor Nikola, rolling in his grave. . .

Efficient wireless transmission of power using resonators with coupled electric fields

Since its introduction by Nikola Tesla in 1900, the concept of wireless power transmission has expanded in many directions, including high-intensity microwave beams, lasers and mutual magnetic induction. Far-field systems such as lasers, focused microwaves and large aperture RF links are well...

One minute it's:

I don't understand, at all what you mean. No, the crisis is made up of ever increasing demand, not, "waste."

The next:

Please post a link the shows how this "waste," is proven.

The next:

I basically came up with energy inefficiencies, which, pretty much reinforce, that woodz and I, are talking about the same thing. . . . but the folks that are trying to push us into a "forth industrial revolution," don't want those inconvenient facts told.

Who does that? Says one thing, then the opposite? What's the proper term?

Then they finish with a flourish of nothingness, injecting your typical carnival barker type conspiracy theory just for kicks and giggles, gutlessly blaming unspecified others?

"Waste of skin" perhaps?

i doubt there's much left of Tesla's wardenclyffe project Mr B , the story was JP Morgan shut him down after realizing his aim was free power to the world

which is why i question any of these 'save the planet' manufacturers , lobbyists , or congresscritters

we're a capitalist society , with (sadly) only capitalist remedies

So you figure Beale to be some sort of socialist now or what? How do you refer to your current political/economic bent, "pinko commie"?

I rave constantly about the billionaire class! Where you guys been?

 

[MisterBeale]

I rave constantly about the billionaire class! Where you guys been?

That Jeff Gibbs documentary, (produced and presented by Micheal Moore,) that exposes the billionaire foisted agenda, and that Corey Morningstar expose', who actually attended the very first several COP agenda meetings, are both far lefties. . . .

. . . I used them specifically, because I have NO PARTISAN AGENDA, I only look for the facts.

The fact that YOU reject those facts? Blows my mind away, it really does.

I continue, to not understand, why folks need to be partisan at all. The media I generally follow, just does not care about politics. Only facts are important.

Who does that? Says one thing, then the opposite? What's the proper term?

Power inefficiency, and power usage, seem to me, to be inextricably, interconnected. From where I stand, government, and corporations, want to use it, in the end, as a means of control. I don't have qualms with the statement. But it seems to me, from what woodz posted, and from what I posted, it IS both.. . . isn't it?

You have this, might I observe, fantastical notion, that corporations, and governments, are two different things. In the modern world? They aren't. Be realistic.

Why have you no more than ad hominems ?

Only for people who are fucking stupid. I converse just fine with members who aren't dumbasses intent on trolling, posting blatantly false information, and constantly showing their ass.

You want to have a conversation? Stop posting stupid shit like "it's 1973 again", like it's somehow Joe Biden's fault that Elmo produces cars with a proprietary connection but hasn't installed the number of public charging stations to support his vehicles. Every Tesla owner can charge their vehicles at home.

Now they just have to scale up the process to recycle the massive amount of windmill blades that now go to landfills.

TPI Composites does this, and is developing new ways to use materials that previously went to landfills.

Here's a simple question: if solar is such a loser why has Florida Power and Light opened 50 solar energy centers?

FPL continues largest solar expansion in America and is now nearly 50% of the way toward completing its goal of installing 30 million solar panels – a goal now expected to come five years earlier in 2025.

OOPS! EXCUSE ME. That's already out of date and it's only a year old. It's now 60 solar energy centers. They have 6 more scheduled to open in 2023.

Good song and video, but where are the microphones, hmmm?

You're joking, right? You seriously think that solar powered stuff requires "hydrocarbon sources"? Show me the fuel tank attached to your neighbor's solar powered path lights..

Hydrocarbon resources to manufacture~make such and to get it to a site where it can be used. For a start. Hydrocarbon resources to maintain and repair, then more hydrocarbon resources to dispose of when it wears out before giving back enough energy to cover all the costs in making such.

I think have told them this, like a half dozen times in this thread, but cognitive dissonance and denial is a bitch.

None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

FPL now has 60 solar energy centers installed statewide – capable of generating enough clean, emissions-free energy to power approximately 900,000 homes throughout the state.

9.5 million homes in FL, so that's about 9.5% job done.. Meanwhile, hydrocarbon troglodytes keep telling themselves that's impossible!

All that just for your neighbor's solar powered path lights? You sure?

Here's a simple question: if solar is such a loser why has Florida Power and Light opened 50 solar energy centers?

IIRC, the last time the solar fields popped up was during the Obama administration's tax giveaway, maybe '09......hay fields became solar fields here, all via fly by night PV startup companies that ran through us like chocolate exlax.

The local poco's took credit of course, but their infrastructure couldn't quite accommodate decentralizing the feedback, resulting in years of subsequent work for linesmen in line workers gear ,trucks & materials

FF to what are now aging solar fields being offered to small town municipalities via their sweet save the planet deals , where they are unaware of maintenance ,disposal , reduced efficacy via those same companies, and your simple Q comes full circle

As I've pointed out to you many times before, "the power grid" is failing largely because they've switched to refitting it all with cheap, delta-wye circuitry instead of sticking with the much safer, more reliable delta-delta standard that had always worked just fine prior. That's at least half the problem. In addition to not being able to handle the same loads, it creates RF noise, spikes, and dangerous feedback that interferes with communications and increases catastrophic shorts. Penny wise, pound foolish. Do the billionaires care? Hell no! Do you? You really should!
