23% of US electrical power provided by renewable first 9 months of this year

NewsWeak?

That article is from July ya dumbshit.
And it appears your map shows one county up near the pan handle.
Oh....112? We never got close to 112 this summer.
I wont even call this a nice try. Pathetic would be the better word.

Austin's unreal summer weather explained in 10 real numbers

The triple-digit temperatures started several weeks earlier than normal in late May and appear not to be going away anytime soon.

www.statesman.com

This year Austin had its hottest May ever, then its hottest June ever and now its hottest July ever.

Yet based on the most recent 30 years of climate data gathered by the National Weather Service, the beginning of August is, on average, the hottest time of the year, and temperatures should start cooling down by the end of the month.

Yeah, right.

If this summer has taught us anything, it's that the extreme heat we've experienced doesn't care about calendars or overstaying its welcome. The triple-digit temperatures started several weeks earlier than normal in late May and appear not to be going away anytime soon.

Let's sweat the details about some of the more impressive statistics from July and the summer so far:

 

[Old Rocks]

And how many Ivanpah's are being built.

None, hopefully.

What is going great guns, photovoltaic and wind, have nothing to do with Ivanpah.

Like Ivanpah, they wouldn't happen without tons of taxpayer subsidy.

The Lazard measurement of the cost of electricity does not include subsidies, and wind and solar are by far the least expensive form of new generation.

That was in May ya dumbshit.
In my 57 years I've never once had to change my habits when it came to setting my thermostat.
I put it wherever I want it.

Of course you do, we would expect nothing else of you.

 

[Old Rocks]

How much storage? How expensive?

Crap, Todd, do I have to do your research for you? Are not yet 10 years old?

I've experienced hotter temps as has Austin.
Months of temps over 100 are common here.
So fuck the leftwing Austin newspapers,I know better.

 

[Flash]

Another dumb fuck liar who has no knowledge of the facts or solar or wind. If one put solar over all the parking lots in the US, you could power our whole nation, 24/7, with storage, with nothing but that solar.

You know nothing about power generation.

Under perfect circumstance like high noon in the Arizona desert you can get almost 1400 watts per square meter of sunlight.

The most efficient stupid solar panels would capture about 150 Watts of that. And that is just when the panels are new with no deterioration that typical happens over time. Then you lose another 30% because of having to invert it. Then you have power distribution losses.

Then you have the fact that most of the world is not like high noon in the Arizona desert. Like Michigan for four or five months out of the year or Florida during the rainy season when we get rainy season overcast skies most of the afternoon. Hell the sun hardly shines west of the Cascades during most of the year and the Midwest and Northeast is clouded in most of the late fall and winter and Spring can be iffy. By the way, you obviously don't know this but the sun does not shine at night so and solar generation shuts down then. Storing power generation during the day for night time use really drives up the cost and inefficiency.

Solar does not work and it is inefficient as hell and that is the reason the idiotic solar power arrays are subsidized by the filthy ass government. If it was economical there would no reason to subsidize the damn things.

Solar is shitty technology for large scale power generation that only stupid uneducated inbred Moon Bats think will work.

 

[elektra]

Now Ms. Elektra, you are a liar from the word go. In South Australia where the first megawatt battery was used to store excess wind energy, then release it at at peak usage, the price of electricity has declined. Will decline even further when their massive VPP comes online.

And you are a complete moron, my comment has nothing to do with the price of electricity.

Are talking about this battery, that burned for three days? Sounds like an expensive shitty solution.

[elektra]

And how many Ivanpah's are being built. What is going great guns, photovoltaic and wind, have nothing to do with Ivanpah.

Right in front of you is a computer. A few seconds on google and you can find all the information you claim is not there.

Ivanpah is a simple example of failed solar that is still counted as operational and at that it is included at full nameplate output.

Ivanpah's nameplate output is counted even the months it is completely offline.

Ivanpah's actual output is not the numbers reported

Ivanpah, a great question, how many are there. How many solar panels are repirted the same way the world's largest solar plant is reported.

Ivanpah, how many more, great question, the answer is all of them

 

[elektra]

You silly ass, it is being done by private companies. And private individuals on their homes as part of a VPP. And by more and more farmers double cropping their fields with agri-voltaics. And you last sentence is simply a massive display of ignorance.

Old Crock, you are a fucking liar. As you demand of others, where are your links.

Idiot spewing lies is old crock

 

[Flash]

Inefficient solar arrays destroys forest, grassland and farmland. Contaminates with heavy metals and deprives the ground from absorbing energy that normally would go to flora and fauna use and contribute to water evaporation.

That doesn't even count the massive ecological damage done to manufacture and distribute the stupid things.

Build massive solar arrays that destroys the ecological system, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[abu afak]

If you could do it economically, it would have been done already by private companies. The private sector does everything better than government.

It's being done at a spectacular rate now.
Renewables are app 85% of New Power generation for the last 6 years.

While the supply has gone up and the demand has also gone up, the infrastructure has gone down. No matter how much power you produce until the infrastructure is improved then you are going to get blackouts. We get occasional blackouts here. We have gazillions of watts, more than we can use but we have a very poor infrastructure that is left over from the 40s. In some places the infrastructure has been improved but it's only as good as the old crap that feeds it.
