Re: Finite fossil fuel
This is what I am talking about with nuclear and its issues.
'Nuclear Industry in France in Crisis,' 20 Reactors Shut Down - EcoWatch
If a fossil fuel plant has bad parts or safety oversight it shuts down. If it's solar it stops producing. If a nuclear plant has bad parts and safety over sight we have chernobyl and fukashima.
The issue with solar panels in northern climates are not just related to the amount of available sunlight. They also have to do with the maintenance costs due to snow, ice, drops in battery efficiency, etc.
But time and time again these have been shown to have negligible effect on solar panels. Drops in battery efficiency is a red herring. Most installations do not even have batteries, excess electricity is fed to the grid. Also, gel and agm batteries which are a much better choice can be stored indoors.

bump for forever
Again I ask.
You did not address what I asked.
Show me the information in the article that is wrong. The specific information. You are making blanket assertions but are not addressing the particular article I posted.
This should be simple. Quote part of the article and refute the point they are making.

The sweet sound of silence
I will take your lack of addressing the actual issues of the article as evidence that you have no argument to refute the article.
Thanks for playing.

What is the greenhouse effect? | HowStuffWorks
You claimed to refute the evidence in this simple article, but in actuality never addressed it at all. Are you able to refute the evidence and conclusions or not? It is really basic stuff. A serious take down should be quite easy for someone of you scientific expertise. (that is, if the evidence and conclusions are wrong)

Re: The sweet sound of silence
The last refuge of one that has no support for their arguments. The personal insult.
Thanks for the concession.

Re: Worse than we thought
Facts and evidence prove that you are an idiot or a troll or both. Facts and evidence disprove the premise of your statement.

Wind Turbines Are Not Killing Fields for Birds
Dear Leader continues to lie about climate, energy and renewable energy.
Wind Turbines are way down the list of killers of birds. By orders of magnitude.
quote:
Wind turbines have not been found to diminish home values of nearby properties or cause cancer. According to numbers aggregated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, cats are a bigger scourge to the overall bird community than wind turbines. The most recent estimate places the number of bird deaths at the paws of cats at 2.4 billion. Collisions from wind turbines on land killed a small fraction of birds in comparison to the damage that cats and glass buildings cause to the general bird population. Land wind turbines were responsible for over 200,000 bird deaths while collisions from building glass are estimated to be responsible for nearly 600 million bird deaths.

I could not find any other topic this was appropriate for and did not feel it qualified for a new topic. If there is a better thread please let me know.

Re: Texas Toast
If the oceans are indeed rising, they will be rising at every point of every coastline on the planet, yet all we've heard about for the last twenty years are the problems at the grand total of TWO locations - Tuvalu and Shishmaref. Funny, that.
