  • Now I am actually honestly not sure if you are actually being serious or if you are trying to troll.

    “It’d be like me “playing around with the thought of powering all of America with renewables” and suggesting our only course of action with renewables is putting a giant dome over Hawaii to harness geothermal power from the active volcanoes and then running multiple 10ft thick cables 2,500 miles across the Pacific in order to feed the mainland at a cost of 200 trillion dollars and a 100 year supply of copper. It’s an absurd and misleading proposal.”

    Have you been smoking crack perhaps?

    Yes I could have clarified that I was discussing solar but I thought the context of the conversation was enough. But sure, “renewables” was bad formulation on my part.




  • If you take a look at the comment that I was replying to, you will have your answer for the first question.

    Because it was the scenario I chose. You are more than welcome to submit your own analysis with your own scenario and eventual limitations etc.

    I didn’t include coal plants because we weren’t talking about coal plants. You are more than welcome to submit your own rundown including coal plants.

    Solar is not one of the “most expensive” forms of renewable.

    If you didn’t find the analysis helpful, you are once again, more than welcome to submit your own. The analysis is very helpful in the context of the comment I replied too.
