I should probably post this in the appropriate thread. Splitting posts is really crazy easy. Just put your cursor where you want to split it.Haven't mastered splitting quotes yet
And hit return.so sorry if this is a little confusing.

Isn't it a lot easier just to say that? I mean. Not like I'm one to talk and all.I will leave the analysis of the economics to the folks here that like to argue specifics like that. I am simply saying alternative energy sources are going to displace coal first most likely.
LOL I did! About the only cost statement I made was that DC is cheaper over long distances than AC!Isn't it a lot easier just to say that?
I'll add a little more.....DC will be bringing wind from the great plains here soon enough.I mean. Not like I'm one to talk and all.
Without subsidies there would never have been any windmills built in the USA.The tax credit ended in 2020. It's too early to tell the impact of that. But there are other federal subsidies besides that. States also subsidize their wind farms. It's not at all a fair claim that wind energy is self-sufficient on its own without subsidies and without raising rates. It's a dog turd that we need to get off the lawn.
The same can be said for pretty much all coal and nuclear generation when it comes to subsidies.Without subsidies there would never have been any windmills built in the USA.
They are too expensive and produce far too little actual electricity. The best way to look at windmills is just like aid to the Ukraine. The money goes there, the Big Guy siphons off a large portion and the media says it's G-R-E-A-T!
The plan is coming together.Saw a report today on MSM that said if Keystone XL pipeline is killed, it will kill 11,000 jobs....
But those plants support something in reality. Windmills are a waste of space.The same can be said for pretty much all coal and nuclear generation when it comes to subsidies.
Well is that not just as special as can be.Saw a report today on MSM that said if Keystone XL pipeline is killed, it will kill 11,000 jobs....
11,000 is nothing... wait til the 4 years is over and see how many are unemployed. Only losing 11,000 would be a blessing, manufacturing is going to tank, steel mills, energy workers, automotive, etc. The only ones who will make more are big tech from all the people at home surfing the web.Saw a report today on MSM that said if Keystone XL pipeline is killed, it will kill 11,000 jobs....
You forgot all those fast food workers making that sweet, sweet $15/hour!11,000 is nothing... wait til the 4 years is over and see how many are unemployed.

Lol they’re gonna be awful upset when they see a kiosk being wheeled in to replace them. Works for free, never complains, and more accurate than some booger picker who can’t remember to put a straw in the bag.You forgot all those fast food workers making that sweet, sweet $15/hour!
Later I can find the cite if you wish, but even SoCal could only produce an estimated 50-55% of its needs via solar if every private and public building that could be used to host photovoltaics in fact was so used, and that for only 5 to 7 hrs per day with generation falling off at the tailsOk. If you go back through my posts. I said the future is solar, wind,(there are others , waves for example) battery (storage really, underground caverns are Even discussed as possibilities) and DER.
Not solar, wind, and a huge solar plant at the equator!
DER is the future! Discuss!
You are an engineer. Applying current day technology to future results often turns out faulty.

Can't get much more 'distributed' than that. Maybe when we get the hover cars (using Agrav) we can pave the roads with cells (but then the shade thrown by all that traffic will decrease generation)
Yes, if you are building initial capability NOW, it might make sense. It is the reason the EU has so much more train-based travel, when they were rebuilding from nothing after WWII the efficiencies made sense. If you were building a phone network now it would certainly not be copper wiredIn the world I believe the number is over 50% I want to say 70% of the places with no electricity, it IS cheaper to build solar than new coal/gas power plants.

Let's make sure we are talking same language.
Are you referring to subsidies and credits for industrial wind farms ending in 2020?
I don't care what states do. I don't believe federal is the way to go.
When people talk about subsidies, sometimes they sound like that we got all these coal, gas, and nuclear plants without any.
Not making the claim that wind is self sufficient economically, but what has convinced you of that point?
Do you know the total cost per MW over the life of a wind turbine? I don't
And the Biden family will top off their bank accounts with PLA and CCP dollars of course11,000 is nothing... wait til the 4 years is over and see how many are unemployed.

Too busy watching Purdue OSU BB to come out to play.Now link to all the commercial products available using perovskite technology
I wouldn't advocate building out a network to carry fusion power at this time, either
Go Boilers! (Sorry Bug, but technically my degree is from Purdue even though I finished it at IUPUI. I gotta side with foszoe on this. )Too busy watching Purdue OSU BB to come out to play.
