  • Solar's Dead Cat Bounce May Be Over [View article]
    Peter,

    How is that useful? There is no way to store AC power which is the real problem. So on a cloudy or calm day....we just shut America down? We can not store the power for when we need it.

    24 hrs a day the power companies produce for peak hour demand, because there is no way to store AC power. So we have a horrendous amount of excess power produced every day.

    Very expensive, poor performing solar panels made with toxic materials, when we will just have to learn to do what we should have done in the first place. Store AC power!

    Chill water at night so you do not need power for air conditioning during the day. Use wave currents to raise ocean water and dump it back in through generators during that ONE peak demand hour every day.

    Compared to the solar idea, we might as well build a moon base!

    The bottom line on power! Like it or not!

    The problem is no storage method for AC power. Power companies produce for the peak demand hour, 24 hours day. It can take days to bring a large generator on line. There is massive power wasted every day.

    About 15 yrs ago power companies in North America formed one large grid, so they could share excess power and shut down their peaking generators (95% wasted power). Today manufacturers will chill water at night for their air conditioning at the POWER COMPANY's request.

    Peak power consumption is one hour of the day (if that), the rest is very wasteful. Solar and wind?......... Sunny and windy days are completely inconsistent........... so we still need a way to store AC power!

    Which is where the focus should have been from the very start.

  • Why It's a Good Time to Consider Chinese Stocks [View article]
    Does anyone have thoughts on PGJ? I have been waiting for a retrace. It had a great move for several years and then I dumped near its peak about a year ago.
