This article is very interesting. It basically is saying that an elected official in the US has blocked a scheme that would help pull the US out of it’s hole on the Global Warming Swindle (GWS) and stopped the US putting solar panels in the Californian desert.
It doesn’t make any sense to me. I would say that the left hand doesn’t know what the right handis doing but it’s the left hand again. A democrat that is not in line with the whingy whiney socialist agenda of the democrats.
On the plus side it took several million in funds from environmental groups who bought the land to have it used for environmental purposes. Perhaps this was what they wanted, perhaps not but they made the big mistake of giving the land to the federal government so now have no say in the matter. You have just got to laugh. Maybe now they will realise that the government is not on their side, a very expensive, and hilarious, to me anyway, mistake.
What is going on over there? We must have renewable energy but not here where it is best placed. Somehow, I don’t see this being the end of it and with a bit of luck it will have a backlash on Feinstein and the democrats as a whole.
The socialist government is dedicated to pursuing policies which will harm the people. Simple principle – too simple for the Left.
Lord T,
I would question your statement that ‘we must have renewable energy’. {last para}
All the renewable energy sources we have, wind, solar, biomas – with the possible exception of wave power – require equal sized fast response conventional systems for the times when the wind isn’t blowing, there are heavy clouds or it is night etc. – even wave power has drawbacks in where the devices are situated and the necessary infrastructure to get the power generated to where it is used.
Another thing, the efficiency of these renewable supplies is so low at the moment as to be laughable.
Now, if they were talking about solar power satellites that beamed there output to ground stations then I would agree that is the type of renewable energy we should be considering, bit the green movement doesn’t think like that. They appear to be anti-science, or at least anti any useful science.
I would recommend reading ‘Power Failure’ by Charles Sheffield (1978), a somewhat prophetic scenario of what might happen if we let things continue as they are.
James,
As long as we are all equally screwed the left love it.
Ivan,
I believe all energy on this planet is renewable. It’s just the timescales that create the issues. I believe we need to get started on harvesting the sun and the easiest way atm is these panels. Long term, as my long term plans say, is solar farms in space transmitting power to earth.
Only real way to go outside fusion.
