[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1676543, member: 32659"] In the post above I meant to say 10,000 MW provides power to 7,000,000 homes not 70,000. Fence, maybe disaster was the wrong term for Goergetown. The city got grants to go 100% green and it was a total failure that cost a ton of money. I totally agree that wind, solar, hydro, and battery storage are all great options when it comes to producing power. However the public needs to be properly informed of how each plays a role in the bigger picture. Coal plants are dirty and will soon be a thing of the past, Nuclear is just too costly but Combined Cycle Natural gas is a surprisingly clean way to make reliable power. Allot of plants are even using city waste water in the cooling towers and sending it out cleaner than it comes in. One of the big pushes is to have all battery powered cars in the near future. Elon Musk is the main inovator and even he agrees that there isn’t enough power available to support going to 10% EV. All industries have “disasters” it just part of doing business. Has anyone seen the stack of used up wind tower blades piling up in the desert? Nobody Knows what to do with them. Not sure if anyone on this board except maybe Fence has filled with diesel at the EZ mart in Hamilton, Tx on a hot August afternoon but standing on that white concrete with no awning will melt you. Imagine living next to 25,000 acres of mirrors on the same day with a good south wind. Sorry for the long post. I really do believe in innovation and protecting the environment but think we need to be realistic about it and not just try to find something that fits a false narrative. Hope everyone has a good night and a great day tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
