Solar and wind farms are an abomination on the landscape.

And this is so much better?

China depends on coal for most of its energy. Solar cant meet demand

At present. China has set itself a goal for transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables, and they are actually ahead of the schedule. At the rate they are going, they will make that goal easily. In the meantime, they are going to make a bundle as the Iran war has shown everybody that they cannot depend on foreign energy sources anymore.

As of 2024, approximately 35% of China's electricity is generated from renewable sources, including hydropower, wind, and solar energy.

Current​

• In 2024, renewable energy accounted for about 35% of China's total electricity generation, which represents a significant increase from previous years.

• The total renewable energy generation reached 3.46 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2024, marking a 19% year-on-year rise.

• In 2021, renewable energy contributed about 29.4% of China's electricity generation, indicating a steady growth trend.

• Projections suggest that this share is expected to increase to 36% by 2025, in line with China's goals for carbon neutrality and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.

Looks like Obamas failed mirror field that was shut down as a total loss. Thanks Obama

Yes, Ivanpah was a failure. A 2.2 billion dollar failure. It was far too complex, and relied on technology that was not yet proven. Unlike photovoltaics that is simple and rapid to install, and requires very little maintenance. While that failure was significant, it had very little effect on our citizens, unlike Trump's trillion dollar unnecessary war in Iran, which is going to damage our and the world's economy.

"Located on 450 acres in central Maui, between Kūihelani Highway and Maui Veterans Highway, Kūihelani Solar-plus-Storage is producing 60 MW of renewable energy supported by a 240 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system to supply 15% of Maui’s energy needs.

AES Hawai’i has a 25-year power purchase agreement with Hawaiian Electric that went into effect on May 31, 2024, to provide renewable energy for Maui’s power grid at 8-cents per kilowatt hour. In addition, the project is offsetting the need to import two million barrels of oil to produce electricity for Maui.

AES Hawai’i President Sandra Larsen noted that this is the company’s first utility-scale solar project on Maui and the latest example of how AES Hawai’i is committed to supporting the State of Hawai’i’s 100% renewable energy and decarbonization goals of 2045."

Hawaii’s largest solar facility—Kuihelani Solar-plus-Storage—begins generating electricity for Maui

The Maui News KAHULUI—AES Hawai‘i has commenced operations on Hawaii’s largest solar facility—Kūihelani Solar-plus-Storage on Maui—an impactful renewable energy project generating enough power for 27,000 homes at 8-cents per kilowatt hour, the lowest renewable energy cost in the state, according...

great, let's cut down tropical forest or is this land already cleared for pineapple that will now be covered with solar
and thus no more crops

you can't have it both ways

YOU can, it's called putting solar on businesses and homes......NOT cutting down trees, not covering up farmland

How many trees died for this?
how much land for rice and other ag?

nuke plant would be 100x more power, land longer and hail or wind won't damage it

again, if the chinese are so smart well this is NOT smart at all

micro reactors are way better all the way around and they are modern

nope but copper and metals are not going to extract themselves, are they?

and my post you laughed, I invested in solar and the company from HI, Obam's so called birthplace
went under and I lost money.......yeah solar is a great investment........NOT

Mothballed carriers have two small reactors and submarines have one. They can be converted to generate power in much less time.

The Navy doesn't not "mothball" nuclear ships. The systems are designed for propulsion, not efficient power generation. The ships use highly enriched uranium (i.e. weapons grade) which really should be turned over to civilians. By the time the Navy would "mothball" such ships the reactors have reached the end of their service life. Being old and worn out the maintenance costs skyrocket, the danger of accidents to to wear and tear, and materials degradation due to radiation exposure and absorbtion make then unfeasible for civilian power generation.

Sure a Navy ship can pull up to a pier, run some cables and provide niche power for a short time, but lone term as infrastructure? Not going to happen.

There is no "shadow fleet" of "mothballed" nuclear carriers, ships, and subs, they are disassembled and scrapped.

Hell they wouldn't even allow the USS Enterprise to become a floating museum because of the reactors.

The reactors can be used to generate power in any context. The small modular reactors are much like th ones used on ships. Nuclear is the future renewables are dead

I was addressing your statement that "mothballed" Navy ships can be used.

No they can't. There aren't any. The are disassembled and scrapped.

Secondly, the design and function of the ships is propulsion, not electrical generation. So while they can be used for some electrical generation to run ship systems, they are not designed for large scale electrical generation for civilian use. They are inefficient.

Navy reactors have reached the end of their service life, they are no condusive to continued application in the civilian sector.

I'm not saying small modular reactors don't have their place, I'm saying you aren't getting them from Navy ships.

No there are not.

They were/are scrapped. There is no mothball fleet of decommissioned Navy ships.
