I couldn't help laughing at this one. It really sums up the situation:
That's a funny thing really, because I have the same feeling about how an obviously bright person such as yourself can believe some of the ideas you have advocated for here. I cite the discussion we had on whether the Challenger Disaster was a real accident, or a NASA plot, and whether the Apollo missions faked the video of Armstrong and Co walking on the moon. Differences in political affiliation are not the same and the choice is about judgement and weighting of information.saneagle said:No, I don't care what you post. I find your posts entertaining and fun while I try to figure out why you don't get it. I love puzzles. You will get it soon, though. Maybe you came to this one late in the game too.
Saneagle's installation is more representative of possible projection. Inverters are not expensive and dead easy to replace. SW's situation is different. He rents his house from the council. With hindsight, the council should not have installed his solar panels. If you involve too many parties in a small installation like his, expect expensive maintenance cost.Those inverters do seem to fail with alarming regularity.
Making good 220v, 50hz, not as easy as one might think.
I assume this applies to all Solar and Wind requiring Expensive maintenance, repairs and replacement?
I wonder if they factor that into their fake "projections"?
It gets even better. Tulsi gabbard has just been appointed Director of National Intelligence and Matt Gaetz Attorney General. That's going to get the rats running for their lives. The next 12 months is going to be very exciting when they get to the bottom of the Jan 6th "insurrection" and the Russia collusion hoax. They'll probably keep the Epstein and Diddy files locked so that they can use the evidence to control those involved, like the dems did, except it'll be against them, not for them. There's going to be a lot of people, who hated Trump suddenly having a change of mind and saying how great he is.would you be ready to vote for a woman potus?
We know Trump is too old, he'll spend his last days on the golf course and nobody is going to blame him.
JD Vance and his billionaire backer, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk will call the shots. So let me rephrase that question: would you vote for Nikki Haley if she was a candidate because the billionaire boys will run the show anyway?
I think that something of the sort of the Desertec plan is the real way forward in low carbon electricity. It would require a big investment in undersea cables to get the power into Europe, but ultra high voltage DC is the way to do that.There is the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project . Deep sea cable linking the Sahara to the UK.
Initial costing: £22 billions. Note the ratio between battery and generating capacity.
quote:
1.5 GW of renewable generation, 22.5 GWh of battery storage and a 3.6 GW high-voltage direct current interconnector to carry solar and wind-generated electricity from Morocco to the United Kingdom.
I can remember from environmental studies at university 50 years ago, they told us about towing icebergs to the Sahara and Arab countries for fresh water. Like your idea, it sounds great until you try it.I think that something of the sort of the Desertec plan is the real way forward in low carbon electricity. It would require a big investment in undersea cables to get the power into Europe, but ultra high voltage DC is the way to do that.
Desertec failed mostly because of the instability of the North African world (Arab Spring Disaster) which collapsed a variety of governments and allowed terrorists to spread into the vacuum.
I suppose the simple answer is we lack the technology to harness the energy from tide and wave.Anyway, why would you want to bring electricity all the way from the Sahara, when there are terawatts in the sea all round our country just waiting to be brought in? Have you ever tried sailing in the Bristol Channel or fishing from Southend pier?
