Strata Solar disclosed that their "maximum dependable capacity is 0 MW." So are all other solar and wind plants'. If 3,750 homes were exclusively reliant upon their power, they'd be dark and powerless most of the time.
Why don't we have more nuclear power plants? In seeking an answer, Duke University economics professor Michael Munger builds on Clemson University economist Bruce Yandle's insight on the regulatory alliance between bootleggers and Baptists.Â
Two new research papers from Harvard University scientists find that wind power contributes to global warming. But think of how better things will be in a thousand years.
Even doing the math in terms of land use required is enough to show how unworkable the idea would be. And that's not even getting into the question of electricity costs, the No. 1 issue to electricity consumers.
