Topic: wind and solar energy is supposedly stupid?
Anonymous A started this discussion 7 years ago #86,297
There's a guy that says solar power as well as wind power.... Is stupid. It takes a long time to get them going, the maintenance is a bitch and if you also take into consideration the energy you need to create "solar cells" and "windmills", then it's just a pipe dream to think it can ever replace coal. He said, that we ought to choose between nuclear power and oil or coal.

Yeah, but expecting it to work large scale and replace the energy created by coal and oil? Won't work. Supposedly, the energy need is growing faster than we could set them up to meet the demands.

Outdated old tech solar panels are going to be a massive expensive recycling problem soon enough.

If you generate more power than you use, your energy provider will send money reflecting the amount generated to you.

'supposedly' = 'I believe some random shit I heard from a non-authoritve source and I am too lazy too confirm it myself before potentially spreading bullshit information.'

Yes, I best be careful about what I mention around certain people. Or else, it's a life sentence for misinformation.

I've seen some really gross wind turbine mechanical failure leakage. I'd imagine hydroelectric mechanical failure could be gross as well.

I hate it when batteries leak in your electric things
or when you buy an electric thing that was made a few years ago that came with batteries and the fuckers leaked out all over in there

@988,839 (Dead !Pool..v42s)It's so gross! Maybe not as gross as a nuclear meltdown but pretty gross i imagine.

Honey? How are we going to use the Internet? It's cloudy! We can't power our solar Internet turbines! We don't have enough clean coal for the coal furnaces! We don't live in a world made out of batteries or any way to move power from one place to another!
