The US could Save $5.6B a year if it Switched from Coal to Solar – study

[HenryBHough]

The only way to eliminate fossil fuels is to adopt a multi-path approach:

Solar panels for if/when the sun shines through the clouds.
Wind for when the wind blows - but not too fast.
Converted former coal plants fueled by:
Vegetation that died in the shade of the solar panels.
The carcasses of birds murdered by the wind-machine grinders though they'd have to be dried in natural sunlight when it's not dark or the skies are cloudy.
See, it will only take patience!

I know what GDP is. Are you trying to say those jobs don't pay well?

Yes, I was confused by your choice of words.

Jobs with lower productivity tend to pay less.

Is English your first language?

You're confused about economics, physics and now English?

Says the guy who thinks low productivity means low pay.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You're funny.

If you have any studies that show that low productivity jobs pay a lot, post 'em up.

 

[ding]

You don't need a study to know that low productivity and low pay are two different things. You only need to look up the definitions.

So what is your first language?

Congress.

Like everything else "the devil is in the details" regarding so-called financial sense. Most people would put the junk on their roofs if they could get their investment back in a reasonable length of time but it ain't possible. Solar panels use haz-mat materials so toxic that they make them overseas. If sky scrapers could lower their cost of energy by placing solar panels on the roof they would do it but sadly it ain't happnin because you need a freaking football field of the ugly suckers to heat an average home in the temperate zone of North America. The Dutch scrapped windmills about 400 years ago and the technology is starting to fail today not to mention the extinction of migratory birds. If the junk worked you wouldn't have to extort money from good old Uncle.

Of course they're two different things.

If you have a list of low productivity jobs that have high salaries, post a few.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Congress.

Those are negative productivity jobs.

I don't know what a low productivity job is. You aren't using that word properly.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I don't know what a low productivity job is.

What you need to do is look at the GDP created by a sector and divide that by the number of workers needed to create that GDP.

It involves math, so I can understand your confusion.

Pie is not a necessity. Energy is.
Bread is more of a necessity to make it:

"There'll be bread overhead when we're all dead."

Or you could just say they are low paying jobs, dummy.

Feel free to install solar panels on your roof.

I mentioned productivity, in response to a claim about productivity.

Idiot.

Idiot.

Except he used productivity in the proper context. You didn't.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Increased productivity is a good thing.
Replacing high productivity fossil fuel jobs with low productivity "green" jobs is a bad thing.
