Renewable Energy Sets Record in USA

Yes well your knowledge of electrical theory leaves much to be desired.

I know the two most important things about electric energy......
1) if you flick the switch, the lights go on....
2) if you don't pay your bills, the lights go off.....

Well I hope that you'll be happy paying vastly increased bills for the dubious pleasure of seeing windmills all over the landscape. Here is the Australian experience, you have been warned.

doesn't seem to be much difference in the cost of production til you start considering some of the more obscure solar technologies......

It is subsidized certainly, but good use of tax monies. At least someone in government appears to be thinking long term.

And 15 years ago no conservative would have said what you just did, but all liberals did. And 150 years ago all conservatives supported slavery, and no liberals did.

Liberals = first to promote positive change, the wave crest
Conservatism= always having to say "I'm sorry" (or lie about history)

Stop trying to make excuses for your stupidity and stupid actions. You are failing as usual.

To make wind turbines you need large amounts of rare earths like neodymium produced in China which is incredibly polluting. You also need coal to make the steel so when you add it up they are not so environmentally friendly as portrayed by the likes of Zippy.

Why not be honest and state that to buildany generator requires rare earth materials and steel, liar?

Science does not back up your point. It sounds good. But you can't fight the laws of physics. It isn't a problem solved by technology.

You are a funny fucking moron.
You don't believe in peak oil yet you use an opinion piece which relies upon peak oil theory to prove it's point, written by a politician with NO science background whatsoever.

What a lame, stupid joke you are.

You fucking idiot.

And if you think that they can you didn't pay attention in science. Don't be a science denier. The laws of physics are immutable

Sunlight strikes the Earth with an average density of 1 kilowatt per meter squared you fucking retard.
That is an immutable fact.
Your misinterpretation of the laws of thermodynamics is not factual.

Man you are truly pathetic, you are starting to sound like Rune or Nostradumbfuck. Well done, keep it up. I know that I am right when both the Left and Right use tired old memes to attack me. If you weren't so ill informed and just downright fucking stupid you'd know that BP has more wind farms than any other oil or gas company in the USA.

Why would BP invest in worthless tech?
Lying loser

I don't know how good a lawyer are you but you know little about The economics of energy production.

"Four bottom lines up front:

It would cost over $29 Trillion to generate America’s baseload electric power with a 50 / 50 mix of wind and solar farms, on parcels of land totaling the area of Indiana. Or:
It would cost over $18 Trillion with Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) farms in the southwest deserts, on parcels of land totaling the area of West Virginia. Or:
We could do it for less than $3 Trillion with AP-1000 Light Water Reactors, on parcels totaling a few square miles. Or:
We could do it for $1 Trillion with liquid-fueled Molten Salt Reactors, on the same amount of land, but with no water cooling, no risk of meltdowns, and the ability to use our stockpiles of nuclear “waste” as a secondary fuel."

Hey liar, America's baseload is already covered by our 20% nuclear and 6% hydro.
As tidal current generators come on line baseload becomes even less of an issue.
Shut the fuck up.
 
Tell that to history fuckballs.
For untold millenia renewables were the
only energy sources.
What a complete and total ignoramus.
 
Sorry snowflakes, your data includes hydropower.

The actual amount is a pittance:
Wind = 5.6%
Solar = .9%
Geothermal = .4%

All of these come at a greater cost in funds and geography than the benefits they produce.

I find the argument that these ancient forms of energy are somehow the future or that they could even come close to meeting the energy needs of a growing advanced economy to be naïve at best and moronic at the worst.
