"It's a battery."

LOL.

On renewable energy, Interior’s Burgum offers a case study in willful ignorance

People keep trying to tell the Trump Cabinet secretary that battery power exists. He keeps saying foolish things about renewable energy anyway.

so, how much electricity does a solar panel produce when there's no sun?

How much electricity does a barrel of oil produce when it's sitting in the barrel?

If that ever becomes the case I think government spending will be the least of humanity's problems.

Problems with Wind Energy


Windmills (turbines) and their storage systems face challenges regarding intermittency, environmental impact, and logistical hurdles. Key issues include unpredictable wind speeds, the need for large-scale energy storage, noise/visual pollution, and difficulties in recycling turbine blades.
Key Problems with Wind Turbines & Storage

• Intermittency & Reliability: Wind is not consistent; turbines require a minimum wind speed (approx. 4 m/s) to operate and must shut down during high winds for safety. When the wind stops, storage systems or other power sources must fill the gap.
• Storage Limitations: Storing massive amounts of wind energy for low-wind periods is technically challenging and expensive.
• Environmental & Wildlife Impact: Turbines pose risks to wildlife, specifically birds and bats, and can disrupt habitats.
• Waste Management: Turbine blades are difficult and expensive to recycle, leading many to end up in landfills.
• Maintenance & Technical Issues: Gearboxes in wind turbines are prone to failure, often requiring repairs before their expected lifespan, and they also require specialized lubricants.
• Noise & Visual Pollution: Turbines produce noise that can cause health issues like tinnitus or sleep disturbances for nearby residents, alongside altering landscapes.
• Location Constraints: Ideal windy sites are often remote, necessitating extensive and costly transmission infrastructure to transport energy to

A simple search in yahoo countering these claims will show that there is alot of statements that simply aren't true or just made up here.

How much electricity does a barrel of oil produce when it's sitting in the barrel?

Probably not much at all. I don’t think oil produces much electricity to begin with. It’s generally fuel which is used to power electricity.

yea, I see a lot of here, especially recently.

Serious question, do you know what "fuel" is?

Yeah, McGibbs and Scruddy tend to bring the avg IQ of any board down.

Serious question, do you know that solar energy and oil are not the same thing?

 

[Mcgibbs]

Yeah, McGibbs and Scruddy tend to bring the avg IQ of any board down.

Didn’t I call you out on something recently and you failed to get back to me about it? Tuck your tail back between your legs and run along little doggy.

I'm guessing he watched Landman to be that wrong

Solar is great, but I really wish we would install in the urban environment vs in a field or cutting down a forest. There is a solar field in SC where they clear cut to install. So stupid.

Welp, I guess you're sticking with the idiot routine. Best of luck.

On top of federal and state buildings. Figure out a way to make sidewalks out of solar panels. Outside the box thinking to improve the energy infrastructure.

Cover parking lots with them. Creates shade to reduce heat island effect, keeps rain off folks. Rooftops of big box stores. So many areas.

There is a company that already makes solar walkways/roads.
But we should put them up everywhere. The issue is our grid is so old and out of date that it couldn't handle tons of small solar input.
