Solar and Cash: The Big Boys Have an Answer - Do You?

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.

Solar and Cash: The Big Boys Have an Answer - Do You?

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.
