14* and snowing like a mofo with winds of 25+ mph..... expecting 8-10” of snow by morning

old guy · 02-15-2021, 11:14 PM

Had to do an airport run tonight and along the way is a solar farm, all of the panels were covered with snow for as far as the eye could see

and that was before tonight’s storm had even started

The problem with solar. The sun has to shine in it. If 1/8 of the panel is covered. You lose 50% of the output of that panel. If 50% is covered. You get maybe get 10 to 15% output. Leaves, snow, dust, bird chit, or anything else blown on to the panel will cause problems. Renewable power depends on nature. Nature is not dependable. Wind turbines operate within a narrow range of wind speeds. Something like 6 to 23 mph. Too slow. Won't make enough power. Too much speed, and they come apart. If you do the math. At around 25 mph. The tip speed of a 90ft long blade is close to the speed of sound. In high winds. They lock the blades to keep from spinning, and turn them to neutral position.

Renewable power also get tax subsidies. They operate at a lose. The subsidies make up the difference. If you eliminate the subsidies. They would all go under within a month. Their cost of MegaWatt is just to high compared to natural gas.

There you go using logic and facts again. Don’t you know we live in fairy tale land?

You Guy’s have a Great Day

God-Speed · 02-16-2021, 05:48 AM

Good Freezing Tuesday Morning All. 7* this morning with a high today of just 27* with a 20% chance of wintry mix.

So once again stay warm campers.

Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands.

old guy · 02-16-2021, 06:28 AM

Saw an article this morning that Jaguar will be all electric by 2025

And another one bites the dust

Rusty · 02-16-2021, 07:55 AM

I'z up.

I got to stop staying up late when I'm working.

It rained until about 2am here. Temp is 31F with a high of 34F. It's going to drop to 12F tonight. Brrr.

Looking outside. Everything has a coat of ice on it.

Happy Nuclear Tuesday, you glow in the dark bumble heads! In my previous life as wildlife biologist me and many of my peers have stated the same facts that Rusty and other have shared and we are not heard by the politicians and those with a green agenda above all other things. I fought tooth and nail to keep windfarms out of my region and was successful. Now there is one small 5 tower farm near town and a large several square miles of windmills between us and Hoover Dam. It is an eye sore and will kill lots of migratory birds along with displacing pronghorn antelope and mule deer that no longer use those areas as part of their home range. I am not a total hater of solar as I think it is fine and should be on the rooftops of homes and businesses in the southwest CA to Texas to as supplemental form of energy. Just as with all thing the red tape of regulation should be streamlined just as the did for vaccines currently. We know more than ever about nuclear energy and how to tame it, use it and deal with waste including recycling or repurposing the waste. Anyway now that we have solved that problem yawl stay warm and keep the right side up and pointed in the right direction. Off to the salt mine to make that bread. Got bills to pay and stuff to buy in my effort to keep the economy going. Be well and have safe and sanitary day!

I'm not a NIMBY type person - when I lived in N IL, I could see the dome of Dresden nuclear power plant from my back porch - but nuclear is not very eco-friendly. Mining/refining the materials for the reactors produces a lot of pollution. "Disposing" of the spent material is just an accident waiting to happen; we can't build containment structures that will survive what Mother Nature can dish out over the millennia required for the material to decay.

The only real solution is a lot less consumption of energy. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how to get usage down.

With the way things are going in Foggy Bottom, we won't have to worry about energy... it's going to be taxed out of existance... or there will be civil war...

Because 70M+ people that voted for the Orange guy are evil and must be 're-educated'....

Why else does the Guard remain in DC?
