    Well, let me know when your head is removed from the sand and you're willing to look at the data. What you claimed about demand and generation is the opposite of the data....

    It's funny to me how these statements keep getting recycled. Bowerbird says that batteries don't have to be lithium and then shows me a system with a tenth the energy density...

    So you can't find a day where the peak demand happens during peak solar production?

    Oh, you're planning on putting 1300kg of vanadium battery in your basement? Can either of you find me a day in this data when demand was highest during peak solar...

    The system has to be equivalent or superior to our existing system, does it not? Or are you suggesting that people should just not have power from 10pm to 9AM when the solar...

    I don't have a coal mine in my basement. California is pushing solar owners off the grid, intended them to put these hazards in their homes.

    And once again, I am laughing at the bad levels of comprehension of a great many here. If one really wants to "go green", you really have to get rid of every thought of "New...

    Pumped hydro requires special environmental features. You need a mountain to pump the water up. Not so great in the flyover states.

    Does not matter, because no matter how you cut it, California is not "self-sufficient" in a great many resources, including water and power. They get on their high horse and...

    Exploit / Servicing Same difference. If Enron didn't "exploit" the problem, how much energy would California have had to use?

    Super posts but, if I may, it seems you have albedo and absorption percentages turned around. The average albedo is around 30%, not 70% You may be correct. I don't think...

  26. Fangbeer replied to the thread Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds.

    The Earth's albedo isn't uniform. Deserts, for example, actually have a higher albedo than rainforests. 70 is an average that is greatly affected by small shifts in the tails...
