No thanks. Get a life. Good bye.

So long, loserboi

OK; where do I sit on this issue?? GO NUCLEAR FUSION Number one!! OK; still in the pipeline but it will arrive one day.

Now as regards SOLAR!! I am not sold on it but there is a case to be put based on the stupidity of Government policies!! The Gov has taken our electricity charges from one of the CHEAPEST in the world to now one of the most expensive and they are doing it to FORCE renewables onto us. Hence it now makes sense for us to go SOLAR to cover the fact that the Government has now made electricity unreliable in the long term and damn expensive by our standards. Before we went solar we were paying over $200 per month which included an infrastructure charge. Now; we are actually in credit paying both the Capital investment off at about $2400 per year AND we are now ahead...after our winter, about $700 IN CREDIT. We have been on solar for two years meaning we are ahead nearly $4500 bucks on what we would have been relying on mismanaged electricity from the grid. Our capital outlay was $10000 after we were SUBSIDISED about $4500 from the Gov....cool steal if you can get it. At about $30 per month not so long ago...even accounting for inflation....ie, $360 pa, it would have taken over twenty years to reach break even point.

Now it will take maybe another three years to reach break even point but ONLY because the Gov has stuffed up our electricity supply.

Conclusion: Government policies have made home solar NOW quite acceptable to protect against excessive punitive costs and the UNRELIABILITY that will come because of those running the show. Even if we get sensible policies in five years time we personally will be ahead by over $2500 after our start two years ago.

And I don't know how the Gov is going to pay the CREDIT that we have built up and will continue to accrue.

It's a damn mess.

PS: I live in subtropical Queensland, Australia.

Factoring the cost of the fuel you will just burn, green hydrogen is a far, far cheaper way to go.

Any far, far cheaper green hydrogen success stories lately?

Solar is now ‘cheapest electricity in history’, confirms IEA

The world’s best solar power schemes now offer the “cheapest…electricity in history” with the technology cheaper than coal and gas in most major countries.

""The world’s best solar power schemes now offer the “cheapest…electricity in history” with the technology cheaper than coal and gas in most major countries.

That is according to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2020. The 464-page outlook, published today by the IEA, also outlines the “extraordinarily turbulent” impact of coronavirus and the “highly uncertain” future of global energy use over the next two decades....."

Lol

Apu dumfuk believes this bullshit.

Who pays for the panels and land?

Changing over to Green isn't cheap ,you guys keep refering to initial startup costs. Once it's up and running. What are the costs. The major cost the fuel is FREE, the Sun and Wind are free. And running them is about as pollution free as you can get rather than burning fossil fuels which are running out , getting more expensive and polluting the hell out of the planet.

Yeah, trillions of dollars in startup costs for unreliable energy. Awesome!

What about all the pollution caused by producing and installing the solar arrays and upkeep and maintenance?

I don't know about anyplace else but here in Nebraska the electric company leases the land or buys it from the developer. Whatever difference you think that makes. If it's purchased that's a start up cost if not than it's a maintenance cost.

You don't think they don't pass that purchase or lease on to users? hahahahaahhhahahahahahah How much you think that land costs?

Who installed them? Who built them? Who Maintains them? what about batteries and all the cable runs?

Sun though right? hahahahahahaahahahaha you all have zip knowledge of how things run in america.

You have a lot to learn. Look it up , read !

Sounds like something you ought to do. You think it's free.

No , I said the sun and wind are free and non-polluting. Nothing is absolutely free, this is a physical world.

Ever hear of batteries ?

Ever hear of batteries ?

What percentage of solar and wind farms have battery storage capabilities?

Know why none of the fields have batteries is because they are dangerous and cost lots and lots of money to put them in and support them. you should look up up keep of a battery back up plant.
