Groundbreaking solar plant in Spain generates 24 hours of power

In all seriousness, its virtually impossible with current technology to transfer that power to urban areas in say northern europe.

So then we need to turn Europe into desert before we can use solar? To fight GW we must promote GW!

There's no human habitation to be razed. I remember flying over the Sudan desert on my last trip to Ethiopia (had a stop in Khartoum). There ain't a soul out there. There's a strip of vegetation along the Nile but aside from that, there's a great big nothing. I suppose solar panels, however ugly, wouldn't bother anyone. I'm sure, though, that there may be some rare animal species out there that Greenpeace would come to protect.

Yeah the animal rights freaks are a problem too. And as for humans, there are nomadic tribes. There are small villages here and there. Heck, even some o the biggest cities in the region (like Tripoli) would probably be great spots for solar panels but first we have to get rid of Tripoli.

A consortium of large blue chips are putting over half a trillion dollars against your skepticism.

Skepticism? Sounds to me like he was making a statement of fact. It also appears to me that your link proves him right. If there was a way to transfer all that power to Europe, no one would need to invest all that money.

As does Kansas.

more humps in kansas than nevada.

take out all the old people from florida and it may be pretty flat too

On the other hand, if it was impossible, nobody would be investing into the project.

So yes, skepticism.

Don't be like slim. You can read, I know you can.

Sure it's possible, you just need a really long extension cord

I drive by a solar array a lot and now hate them. They're fugly.

[Zero Sum 305]

Very cool, olé, joder. Wish we did more of that here. I'm sure if Cali would get into it a little more they'd take one rant excuse from unhappy people away.

I looked up the details. It's 7 acres, over 7000 panels. It generates a megawatt of electricity on a bright day, 4% of that on a cloudy day.

put down the dollar bills and stay out of the strip clubs.

Maybe with more solar plants like these, the consumer would pay less in their E bills. More singles for those establishments if they choose to frequent them.

All about choice. Don't take away his freedom.
