It was hard enough to build an ap1000 and an ap1000 don't think anyone is doing that again anytime soon

Yes the abundance of corn is also terrible.. I'm not going after anybody simply saying I don't know that covering up farmland with solar panels is always a great idea

You haven't heard of solar farm leases? https://www.agriculture.com/common-offer-to-lease-farmland-for-solar-panels-usd1-000-an-acre-8604982

Maybe you missed where I said I'm a fan of multiple energy sources.. but they don't always make sense in every area .. yes Kansas and West Texas should put up wind turbines and solar in the Arizona desert But I'm not ot sure replacing farmland in south Georgia with solar is a good idea

why not? because it will never grow back ... however i dont have a problem with that in this case as the damage is done (then again why not just keep mining the hole?)... I still don't like the clear cut of acres of scenic mountain tops for windmills either though

i dunno i probably would have preferred they planted trees back or let the forest take back over

here is a quora discussion on a similar topic https://www.quora.com/Is-it-good-for-the-environment-to-chop-down-over-16-million-trees-in-Scotland-to-make-way-for-wind-farms

it doesnt take a rocket scientist to realize the physical footprint of wind and solar is larger than many other forms of electric generation.. ive driven down that road before and after the wind turbines were installed.. it went from a fun and beautiful scenic drive to a wasteland of obscured...

dont really need to its the internet.. but there is a whole facebook group dedicated to it https://www.facebook.com/groups/835899539823505/

i dont find it funny at all that they cut down an entire forest and call it "clean energy"

https://www.powermag.com/clean-air-program-makes-shawnee-power-plant-a-winner-2/

I'd throw hydro and synchronous condensers on the list as well.. also I'd rather have clean coal than wind turbines in some areas like what used to be the beautiful forest covered mountains in west Virginia where they clear cut the trees and replaced them with wind turbines it's one of the...

My point is that we need diversity in energy sources and our goal should be energy independence and that existing nuclear plants are relatively cheap sources per kw and have zero emissions, 24 hour runtime, and very low land use no reason to get rid of it

Until a hail storm hits Solar is great in the desert but ain't working in a place like Manhattan.. you can make up a turbine replacement cost in a couple days of high market pricing Part of the reason solar is cheap is because the panels are subsidized by Chinese government And no we never...

Gas turbines produce electricity at a lower cost per kw than solar and have a higher capacity factor and a longer lifespan they are thermally very efficient economics matters

That was a typo.. future of nuclear was over I meant Of course economics matters that's why gas and coal are so great it's very cheap

I used to work in nuclear but when trump got elected over Hillary in 2016 I figured the future of nuclear was over and that seems to be the trend Without government intervention we'd be burning nothing but coal and gas

Seems like you'd like nuclear if it is anti capitalist, right? Every utility is subsidized especially wind and solar that's a poor reason to be against a technology Hell I wouldn't have solar panels if the government didn't pay for a 3rd of it

except he's not in kentucky he's in california where the price per kwh is much higher.. his COP is barely above 1 so probably it would have been cheaper to heat with gas as-is often the case in extreme cold

i was joking really.. but on a serious note i doubt there is enough solar out when it is near 0 degrees.. at least my solar would not be near enough to keep up during those temperatures i take it youre more of a socialist then?

That sounds expensive.. have you looked into gas heat? it could save you tons of money

Your two links are added government programs while his link is a reduction of government oversight As a free market capitalist I'm all for less government

I'm not debating that a gas top uses more energy than a convection.. im debating the opposite You said you can use 2x more energy while consuming less... The sentence is missing part of your point.. consuming less (fossil fuels) Which is what I originally said

I rode by today would have been nice stopped in bluff though free charge point diner across the street is great 👍

Going to the mesa Verde RV park near entrance of national park still nervous though any wind plus extra hot ac blasting may force me to detour to bluff.. ABRP says keep below 60 to make it with 10% I just ran the Moab to page / lake Powell leg stopped in bluff went through Mexican hat beautiful...

Yeah the nav doesn't know about CCS chargers I will just put bluff as my destination I've found ABRP is pretty good if you dial in all your settings about 277 wh/mi is my calibrated 65mph efficiency.. the problem though is you never know how the wind is going to blow that day which makes a huge...

You are not using 2x the amount of energy then are you? Understand?

Using and consuming mean the same thing.. I assume you mean consuming less fossil fuels though Also lemme just say nothing heats like gas I hate heat pumps give me my natural gas furnace when it's -10

ABRP says I can make it direct if I drive slow the alternative is to go through bluff Utah and use a CCS charger

Plan to drive from page to Mesa Verde just east of Cortez really need this to be open in a week

Now do air conditioning

Sounds like the fuse did it's job (hopefully).. 3rd party charger should pay for new fuse hard to believe it's that expensive though

looks like they got 72% vote.. think that'll be enough? or do you still think he'll walk away with "nothing" lol

😂 Mine came with a Tesla USB drive for that and I never touched it.. some people use for FLAC files too

What do you need a USB drive for?

220.. 221.. whatever it takes

I was very reliant on the allsups Francis energy chargers and I brought a dryer adapter for my airbnb stay but yes southern new Mexico is pretty sparse for fast chargers thank God for Francis energy Found a free level 2 in las Cruces that helped me get back to cloudcroft but didn't really need it

lol what the actual f*ck are you defrosting in june in so cal? im familiar with june gloom but defrost i am not

this guy is running 235 / 255s https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tpms-on-non-factory-wheels.324250/page-2#post-8300873

Firestone did it.. running 235's in front and 245's in the rear its smooth as butter ran for 7k miles now thousands of them on AP

I thought they were building the model 2 no?

i think its hard to talk about "brand damage" without talking about the pulse of america (and the rest of the world)

i love the rivian but im trying to figure out what i'd use it for... the occasional camping trip it would be nice.. but its a worse road tripper than the model y and a worse in town / commuter car than the model y... i find it hard to justify for my needs and it cant really tow either ... ive...

Yeah my ground speed is no good either but at least the wind works

Would Elon not be earning tax in Delaware?

Sadly for Delaware they probably miss out on oodles of tax revenue in this scenario wouldn't they?

I doubt he'll walk away with "nothing"

What did he lie about? that the board was independent? Thats subjective not a lie

i think it comes down to would tesla be where they are today without musk at the helm? i highly doubt it

how did he not follow the contract in the compensation case?
