Solar is NOT more expensive than fossil fuels in the long run. The problem is that there is an up front infrastructure cost. But in the long run, solar beats fossil fuels by a country mile.

Correct. People like PIO! fail to take into consideration the cost of the infrastructure that was "previously" paid for when deciding what is the cheapest way to go. That is a shortsighted way to look at economics. Good for those trying to make a fast buck. Not good for future generations.

The advantage solar has over fossil fuels is that all you need is land to set up a solar farm, and access to the electricity grid to connect. Fossil fuels companies hate that because they cannot control where the sun shines. They would if they could.

Sometimes you seem like an intelligent fellow.

When you post things like,

"If I did run for office, free energy would be my central theme.

We could run the whole country on solar and wind within 10 years. Our energy would be essentially free . . ."

you sound like a moron.

Let me also say this. I've been studying this issue for awhile now but I've never talked about it on these boards until today.

I'm a numbers guy, so I've looked at the numbers.

I'm also a technology guy, so I've looked at the technology.

This is very doable. To coin a phrase, "We put a man on the moon", so we can do this too.

But free energy is MUCH easier than a moon shot. We already have the technology to do it.

I'm asking again. As a voter, would you support free energy?

Wrong! We NEVER put a man on the moon.

This sounds an awful lot like Flagpole.

You aren’t fooling anyone, Flag.

Nope. Fat Hurts is not me.

WEJO, DO AN IP CHECK, AND IF I LIE, BAN ME FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

Speak for yourself. I worked on the Apollo program—engineering design. The only part that made it back to earth—the capsule.

You were a shitty engineer who designed this POS out of curtain rods that a kid in elementary school could build. No blast crater either explain that to us.

1) Oil generates an infinitesimal fraction of the electricity in this country. So even starting out by comparing solar/wind (which generate electricity) to oil is ignorant. Solar and wind are more expensive than natural gas fired generation which is the predominant fuel for new power generation.

Your assumption is that the uses of electricity will remain constant in the future. Dumb conclusion.

Oil supplies 40% of the energy needs of the USA. Home heating, and transportation are the major oil users. But there are alternatives that will run on electricity for both energy segments. In NY 8% of the electricity is produced using oil; which is burned to create heat (hot gas to water converted to steam) that drives turbines--hardly minuscule as you claim.

Nope. Never made or implied any such assumption. As such, your entire post is invalid.

OK, so you wish to remain ignorant. That is something that I will never understand. But I do accept your right to continue in ignorance.

I'm flattered that you would remember my little global warming quiz.

For yours, I pick letter B, but you have it backwards. The fact is, businessmen ARE investing heavily in solar and wind. It will replace fossil fuels eventually because it is cheaper in the long run.

My proposal is that we use government-industry partnerships to speed up the process and gain strategic economic and geopolitical advantages. Plus we get "free energy".

OK, so you wish to remain ignorant. That is something that I will never understand. But I do accept your right to continue in ignorance.

Oh, please do enlighten me.

Look, I know what I'm talking about. Investment in clean energy is exploding because people who run the numbers find out the truth. Solar power, wind power, and electric transport are the future. That's why Tesla is worth the same as GM, even though GM sells more cars in a month than Tesla has delivered in its lifetime. And if Elon Musk wasn't so flaky, Tesla would be worth even more.

But that's just one example. Look at the Saudis sovereign wealth fund. They are falling all over themselves to get into clean energy. And they aren't doing it to save the planet. The Saudis want to keep making money when oil is no longer the key.

America has a huge opportunity here. If we blow it, we will be beholden to the terrorists for many years to come.

How old are you?

You first. My guess is that you are mid-20s.

Yes, Hillary did attempt to do that. Agreed. Glad she lost!

And how are you distributing this energy to everyone? By electric cars? Lol

How do you get your "energy" now. How is it being "distributed" you? Does it pop out of the ground where you stand when you need it? Please think before you post.

I don’t get it from the Midwest. lol

I'm definitely not Flagpole. In fact, I think I was the first to say his guaranteed Hillary victory was pure bull. You can go back and see.

I don't think we sound alike at all.

It’s just a knee jerk reaction. Whenever something moronic posted, we all assume it is Flagpole.

I don't mind if you think it's moronic. New ideas always sound nuts until you understand them.

You really should keep up with the state of energy technology though. Those of us who do keep up are saying the same things I am saying. The idea of going all-out solar is just a logical application of the current state of our capabilities.

And like I said, it's already happening. The question is just whether we will lead the world and gain the advantage or fall behind and become slaves to the nations who seize the opportunity.

Germany’s renewable experiment is failing.

Will Trump donate $1 million to charity like he said he would? Doubtful.

Yes, Germany went all-in on rooftop solar. The problem is that Germany doesn't get enough sunshine to fully solve the problem with today's solar panels.

But the US has a distinct advantage. Most parts of our nation get lots of sunshine and solar investments pay for themselves in a few years.

And we have this huge untapped resource in the midwest deserts. A solar deployment of just 10,000 square miles in Arizona can power our entire nation. And that's with current technology.
