people dont understand the inputs into solar as well. i have a massive solar array that powers my entire large home. i also have 2 automated arrays that track with the sun that feed into the grid and we get paid for that. if you have ever worked with solar you know it is not going to replace petroleum. its not possible. the inputs are hi…
people dont understand the inputs into solar as well. i have a massive solar array that powers my entire large home. i also have 2 automated arrays that track with the sun that feed into the grid and we get paid for that. if you have ever worked with solar you know it is not going to replace petroleum. its not possible. the inputs are highly toxic and hard to mine and finite. our home is also a very modern FLW style passive solar design so it heats in winter bc of all the windows on the south side and the giant overhangs cool in summer. its also run on geothermal. and back up electric. and back up generator. and back up battery system. these inputs are expensive. they cannot replace nor be scaled up in that way. in the winter here in canada we have at LEAST 50% of the time no sun. NONE. how are we going to run everything on solar but no sun? and the inputs required to build a new car are greater than the energy required to fuel older ones. so the concept of everyone buying an electric car that most cannot afford is a joke. essentially it is has a greater energy footprint. my oldest son drives a hummer. we'll leave it at that.
Yes, and again yes to what you say. When we renovated our farm house we wanted to do solar or wind but our contractor didn’t know anything about it. I am glad we didn’t do wind and our place isn’t set up for solar because we have a lot of trees around the house. We did install geothermal and it seems to work well for us. We are able to stay warm in the winter and our bill in the coldest months goes to about $400. I knew I”d resent paying for propane. We get tornadoes so don’t want it on the place. I’d love to hear more about your back up. I have talked about a back up solar generator but am not sure it would be strong enough to operate our geothermal heat pump.
I so agree with you on the expense and rarity of inputs. I don’t think people have any idea what they are in for with the sacrifice they’ll have to make. I think its about taking control and destroying capitalism.
