The land area needed for coal and solar is probably equivalent. Yes, even uranium deposits are limited. noahhoward, on 42Saving the planet by paving it with mirrors, brilliant. Sure it is green, but really, just use nuclear until the of solar energy goes down. Also new grid of DC lines would need to be some interest free loans or something… Thats better use of our uranium then shooting it at Iraqis. The sheep dont want to hear that.
Thats nearly 60,000 per household powered. Good catch. steelersfan7roe, on 17Wish could digg it twice. TJ11240, on 12No energy source can provide 100 of our needs, not even coal or nuclear. think this is great move. Fusion in everyones homes…AndyStitzer, on 81Also, where does the power for these 70,000 homes come from at night. Flagstaff has more clear nights than anywhere in the world, thus we have one of the few things where you lot more out of what you put in.
Obviously their plan is on huge scale, however it is pretty clear that even if only part of this infrastructure was constructed it would help clean up our energy …TJ11240, on 01Thank you. We should consider this way also. godofblog, on 00Our powerful solar floodlight includes three adjustable lamps, each with three white LEDs to provide improved light output. California recently ran out of power because they hadnt built any plants. She paid in one month. Its the nutjob environmentalist who fear nuclear that are stopping us.
This method is similar to the way that we currently use to store trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. Props to APS. plundstedt, on 82Digg me downcawpin, on 11Dont count on it. Its little hypocritical not to give solar the same headstart. Its parabolic mirrors concentrating sunlight onto tubes of oil, to superheat it to make steam. Nothing to do with bandwidth but the electricity the server uses to stay up? dunno, maybe Im the crazy one. barfooz, on 24WhooooooshThere, in the sky! Is it bird? Is it plane? No its the joke! And it just went over your head! 471776, on 01Okay, sorry.
can imagine it nowConsumer Why have my rates gone up? Has the price of sunshine gone up?Electric Company 2010 was pretty cloudy year, and the forecast for next year is just as bleak.alanflores, on 55How the weather in Gary, Indiana? NoCt1, on 02Not good. cawpin, on 01WTF? He makes very valid and probable statement. 0crabby0, on 14So you use part of the solution, unless of course battery technology improves. ausfahrt, on 122You know bet they never thought of what to do during the night.
