Marjorie Taylor Greene believes generating electricity from “wind turbines and solar

Dutch Uncle said:
Agreed. However, with the current tech, wind and solar won't be enough to supply the needs of the present nation much less a growing one.

When "conserving electricity" and rolling brownouts are occurring, that's an indication of a problem. How many airline passengers would feel comfortable if the Captain announces "We'll be shutting down one engine and the A/C to safe fuel"?

Well I was referring to the home battery storage and the portable A/C units.

This one is an example.

Unfortunately, the grid is down for you atm because there wasn't enough solar power generated to fuel it.

I just turned on a light, and know for a fact that the grid is doing fine for me at the moment.

You can't simply plug your battery charger into an outlet to charge the battery. What now?

The real answer is this:
My solar panels do not work when the grid is out, for safety reasons; they do not want solar electricity frying the lineman. I would first use one of my UPS batteries. When they stopped working, I would use my Prius to charge my phone. The hybrid is better because it turns off the gasoline engine when it is not needed. A regular car just keeps running the gasoline engine, and that wastes fuel.

I keep wanting to get a major battery to store the solar power, but never get around to it. Nor do I buy a gasoline generator, because they are pains in the neck to maintain.

That's good for rural folks and even some in the suburbs. Not sufficient for the majority of Americans who live in cities or apartments.

I was continuing the scenario, dumbass... I wasn't referring to what you're experiencing as we speak.

Then you have no electricity generated for your charger to charge your batteries.

FAIL! You've now made use of hydrocarbon fuels. That's a no no. Try again.

You can't store what isn't being generated.

You can't use one anyway, because that makes use of hydrocarbon fuels and that's a no no.... you'd get excommunicated from the Church of Green.

The only way solar power would complete 24/7 stop being generated would be if the sun failed... In which case a can of gasoline will do you no good.

Emergency gasoline generators are horrible to maintain, if you had ever dealt with one, you would know what I am saying.

So about 1% of total car sales.
Click to expand...

Electric cars are becoming an increasingly popular choice among drivers worldwide. The demand for EVs has been on a good spot in the last two years despite the automotive industry facing a tough time. In fact, EV sales surged by 26% in all top three auto markets.

The first half of 2021 saw an increase of sales by 160% compared to the same period in the previous year. In the same period, China sold 1.1 million units accounting for 12% of total sales and making it the world’s top EV market. EV sales accounted for 3% in the US, reaching 250,000 units in the same period.

According to IDTechEx analysis, the sale of passenger EV cars is on track to hit the five million mark this year alone. The trend will likely continue all over the globe in 2022 and beyond despite the economically adverse conditions.

These trends indicate an accelerated switch to EV, and there are numerous factors for it. Some seek clean energy, and some try to save money, while others want to protect the environment.

The scenario where there is no sunlight, but we have plenty of gasoline?

There is absolutely no way to replace solar energy. Right now solar energy cannot fully replace gasoline, but we can survive without gasoline. We cannot survive without solar energy.

No such scenario is being talked about. Pay attention.

I'm not trying to alter the sun, dumbass. That's what leftists are trying to do (they want to block a bit of its radiance in the name of global warming).

We can continue with our current QOL with hydrocarbon fuels. We cannot continue with our current QOL without them... Solar and wind simply don't produce enough energy to do so.

My humble advice is to fund getting off planet ASAP and leaving all the idiots behind. :thup:

Possible. I won't live that long unless space alien do-gooders move in to assist. LOL

On thinking it over, I think I might have overstated it when I said, "very possible", and should have said, "slightly possible."

Musk is making some interesting advancements in space flight. I could see thousands of people leaving Earth in 30 to 40 years, with some of them self identifying as refugees. Musk's plan is for it to be a one way trip, in a good way. They go to Mars, and make a new life on Mars, mostly never returning to Earth.

I should live long enough to see colonies on the Moon, in space and, possibly, on Mars.
