  • First Solar Spreads Some Sunshine [View article]
    I'm waiting on this one to break-down. I agree with Mr Clark on this one, and once it does break down.. .watch out below.

    Tell me please how solar is better than wind turbines?? I think both are flawed. The real winner in China is coal. They are building approx 1 coal fired power plant per day!! In the next 3 years they will have added the coal fired capacity that exists today in the US -in 5 years time.

    The demand for power generation is so great, that peak load producers like wind and solar are out of the question.

    Alternative Energy's only hope is that politicians will do anything for a vote -and current popular belief in global warming will keep these in play.

  • Solar and Cash: The Big Boys Have an Answer - Do You? [View article]
    WRONG. You cannot transfer electricity from Australia to California.

    Even if they were connected by a magical land bridge, the distances are too far and all of the energy is lost in the transport.

    It would take a field of solar panels or wind turbines the size of a city, to power a city of the same size.

    What happens at night? Or when the wind isn't blowing? You're telling me that you can store the extra energy accumulated during the day to keep our city powered at night?? You're delusional.

    Who wants to live in a city that has power outages 50% of the time and is neighbored by a city of solar panels or wind turbines?? Not me, and not your local politician.

    These energy sources are used for peak periods. They are not sufficient for base load electricity. Not to mention they make no economic sense as an investment. Just keep that in mind while you play this fad.
