I just started a new thread about powering the world with solar panels. Go there.
You made the claim about an economic system on this thread.
Why run away now?
I'm not running away. But this thread isn't about economics anyway.
You are so full of shit. We had a pool using 4 4' by 10' panels on a roof slightly tipped to the north. This is in Portland, Oregon. On a warm weekend in March, the thermostat was left off, and the pool was just left to heat however much it would. Retuned on Monday to an uncomfortably warm pool. A friend has 3.3 kw of solar on his roof, side facing East, and it not only supplies all his electricity, he received a check of $250 for the period of Jan through June for the amount of excess power he put on the line. Solar works very well at all latitudes, of course, the further you go north or south, the less you get in the winter, and more you get in the summer. As well as at the equator? No, but well enough, considering that after the initial cost, the power is free.You know nothing about the science of solar power generation. Go to Washington state and see how high the sun rises the fall, winter and early spring. Not very high and the rays are diluted by having to travel longitudely (sp) through the atmosphere.
I have a pool here in Florida and have solar collectors to heat up my enclosed pool. Works fine when the sun is out. We are closer to the equator than most of the US. However, I lived seven years in eastern Washington state. The desert side with a lot more sunshine than the west side. I had a pool and had to heat it with gas. Nobody used solar panels because they simply did not work except for a couple of months around the summer solstice. Not worth the expense.
There are very few places in the US where solar electricity generation is worthwhile. Mostly in a narrow belt in Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico.
You are really ignorant about this horseshit you are posting. Typical for a stupid Moon Bat.
you are a filthy liar, where is your linkYou are so full of shit. We had a pool using 4 4' by 10' panels on a roof slightly tipped to the north. This is in Portland, Oregon.

The economics of transporting massive amounts of goods by road is just too expensive. Can't possibly be done. Then a Republican administration started building the Interstate System. Guess what happened to that too expensive to transport goods long distance on roads.Not about economics, but you brought it up.
And now you're running away. LOL!
another filthy lie by old crockThe economics of transporting massive amounts of goods by road is just too expensive. Can't possibly be done. Then a Republican administration started building the Interstate System. Guess what happened to that too expensive to transport goods long distance on roads.

solar does not work at all, it is a subsidized tariff driven system forced upon the public, of course the stupid believe, like old crock.You are so full of shit.

Anybody you teach climate science to should be asking for their money back.
Stick with coal and NG. Cheap and efficient.You want to talk about doing something that you probably think really wouldn't work. I just started a new thread about powering the world with solar panels. Go there.
Solar panels alone could provide all the energy we need.
So says the Kings fool. LOLStick with coal and NG. Cheap and efficient.
Those charts are bullshit.
Did I mention the dimensions of the Ringworld? Did I mention the Puppeteer's name? Perhaps you should try to stay relevant. It may make your arguments more cogent.You are the one who mentioned the fucking things and currently solar does not have the efficiency that fossil fuels have and don't even come close to nuclear. Last who the hell is going to pay for your global solar grid ?
No but the guys at MIT who wrote the article I linked sure as hell are.And you are an expert? You Phd in economics and engineering is from where?
But I'm not denying it. I never have and if you're going to tell me what I said then use the quote function.You tell me the same thing that other human caused global warming deniers tell me. Bullshit.
