A New Hope for Beating Back the Regressive Green Movement
Some people do not understand that solar produces DC current which must be stored and then to be useful to the average person converted to AC current so after harnessing whatever amount of power from the sun it then has to be sent to a battery bank (which requires maintenance, and usually additional components) then this stored energy must then be converted into Alternating Current or AC of 240/120 volt to be useful requiring even more components including switches fuses circuit breakers, arc fault protection and even more, not to mention the cost of installation.
After all that if it is cloudy or winter time you have low level to no level power going to your battery bank, then you might have to add a generator (diesel or gasoline or natural gas) so after you put it all together you have a huge expense with unreliable resource due to weather conditions or failure of any of many components, you would also need someone to maintain and troubleshoot you equipment to get you back on line, wind is almost the same but it is even worse not to mention killing birds plus even more mechanical parts to fail requiring dangerous maintenance to the equipment which if you do not have redundancy built in and just one turbine you might be without power for quite a while!
My car will work on gasoline and costs less than $2,000,000 and with about 10 gallons of gasoline will go for about 260 miles, there is no way to make it work with wind or solar power, so in the meantime we must use hydroelectric, coal fired and nuclear power plants so we can all have a decent life! Let them make solar and wind more cheap than current technology and I’ll buy into to it but not until that time!
