Separate names with a comma.
I can't find anything on raw numbers, but percent changes, but my impress was it was somewhere around 2 billion tonnes/yr.
The reason pot is grown indoors is to wildly increase the THC content by controlling the lighting and humidity very precisely. The THC in this...
I think the 2W/m2 is a fairly specious argument. He's talking land area as if land dedicated to wind power couldn't be used for other purposes....
naw, doesn't allow more energy, but the storage of excess capacity is way cheaper which means the production factor of said plant is higher which...
Solar thermal plants are much more efficient than PV (well, typical non-multi junction space quality stuff) so you'll capture a lot more energy...
Molten salts are an incredibly efficient way to store/release heat. well over 90% efficient, so it's a pretty good mechanism. Burning coal is...
Well, for starters, just increasing efficiency would cut the amount of coal, oil, uranium needed by a very large amount. Solar, esp solar thermal...
uh, your number are off by 2 orders of magnitude on the PV production. Our house of 4 uses 250-450 kWh/mo, so that number is way off too... but...
the 400 pound gorrilla with a lot of western power generation is water. The amount of water required to run a modern thermal plant is staggering....
Foruntaly for CA, the tsunami threat is low. There are loads of faults, but they're transform faults, not thrust faults. It's convergent plate...
Again, here in CO Xcel is shutting down 1 or 2 old (and pretty small) coal fired plants. Another couple are being converted to run on NG. This is...
It was actually a NG subsidy. The state loses $321M/yr due to this particular tax credit. I can't remember the details, but special interest...
I'd love to see the subsidies for fossil fuels go away at a minimum. That's probably the most effective way to start taxing them. Get rid of the...
I have neighbors that did the solar city thing. they have an excellent yard for it. Did a ground mount system (3.5 kW IIRC).
and it's of course a lot more competitive when you factor in all of the externalities along the mine to boiler path for coal.
Agreed. The number of terawatt hours that could be eliminated in the US by simply picking said low hanging fruit could power large amounts of the...
interesting. Well, at least that $150K the Kock brothers don't have anymore.
massive amounts of insulation to cut AC costs might be even more effective than small solar arrays. Both would be better.
Re: Sea-Level Acceleration Based on U.S. Tide Gauges and Extensions of Previous Global-Gauge Analyse Like continents, threads do that...
Re: Sea-Level Acceleration Based on U.S. Tide Gauges and Extensions of Previous Global-Gauge Analyse yes the PMT 55 mYa. The important bit to note...
