What an astounding amount of condescension, unsupported assertions, and strawmen. Not even worth responding to.
Thanks for the belittling. The issue here was not in any way related to it being in Maine. Solar was a CURE for grid problems. If there was...
Here is an interesting statistic and projection: Sometime in 2006, China surpassed The United States in PV panel production. They have been...
Many people on this list could probably take out a loan, put up a solar electric system, and reduce their (monthly) electrical costs. Why aren't...
It is a bit confusing. On the right, are the various finite resources Each circle's area represents the total available energy from each resource...
Solar is hugely easier on the grid than nuclear, and in fact makes stressed grids *better*. Our local Electric company just spent multiple...
I don't see any particular reason that nuclear is faster to deploy than solar. One is invited to look at the current growth rate for both for...
I remember someone here giving the figure of 1kW for turning the engine (in highway stealth mode). That would be 3413 BTU/hour. Gasoline (at 50...
Sure it is. Since a car which gets better gas mileage will be worth more on the used car market. The amount more a rational person should be...
No it isn't. They can just compute the TOTAL spent on a given car. This would help people who are both choosing a new car, or buying a used car....
When comparing CARS, it doesn't make any sense to assume the value of some variable, when you can just use the total, with absolutely no...
No need. It doesn't matter, since used car prices reflect the value remaining in the car. Depreciation over the life of the car is *exactly* the...
*Some* incandescents make white light. Others make yellow, or even red light, that just isn't very popular. Halogens start to get up into the...
Black body radiation is a characteristic curve, with a peak. That peak uniquely describes any example of black body radiation (and it...
Irrelevant to the current discussion. The question was about how we got here, not where we are going for here. And you really seem to enjoy...
And you have given NO reason why percentage of people starving is a better metric than total number of people starving. As if the misery were...
Please don't firmly reject something that I didn't say. I do say that I don't see how number of people with TVs is a better metric for global...
I haven't even finished reading this, but couldn't let this pass. Never before have so many humans done so poorly. There are more starving...
All other things being equal. But of of course they aren't. Oil is getting more expensive to extract. Its problems are getting more expensive...
Depends a lot on the EROI for the shale oil. Most I have seen don't even make it worth doing except for the subsidies.
