After dropping out of the race in February, 2020, he set his sights on the mayoralty of New York City, and briefly led the Democratic primary polls before losing the nomination to Eric Adams. This month, Yang declared his next pivot. As he published a new book, called “Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy,” he announced that he is starting the Forward Party, which he hopes will break the “duopoly” dominating American politics."

    You just don't get it. Solar is horribly inefficient and you can't get around that. The watt density of sunlight on the planet averages 1.4 kw per meter square. That isn't going to suddenly change. The efficiency of solar panels is at best around 20%. That means you get about .25 to .3 kw per meter square out of that in DC power. You have to convert the DC to AC to make it useful as well as make sure you have the correct voltage. Since solar panels only work roughly half or less of the time, you need a way to make power when they don't work. That means duplication of your generation system at greater cost and possibly installation of a storage system if necessary.

    This means that to get a kw day of power out of solar, you need about 5 kw of installed capacity and 3 kw of batteries or other storage.

    Hydrogen or ammonia as a portable fuel is very doable--WITH NUCLEAR. It is grotesquely expensive with solar.

    The others from your link are absurd

    Ocean / tidal is incredibly inefficient and expensive. That's why nobody is doing it.
    Biomass is no different from fossil fuel only less efficient.
    Hydrogen is only possible with masses of cheap electricity to make the hydrogen to begin with and that requires nuclear.
    Proving once again how ill informed, and ignorant, any right winger is. Have you ever heard of INNOVATION? If left to flat earth types like you (luddites all) we would still be using horses, and buggies. Fortunately though we have had a history of free thinkers willing to take a gamble on an idea. Free thinkers like Edison, Tesla, Marconi, and the list goes on, and on. So now we have thorium being used to replace uranium, hardened timber to replace steel and concrete, bigger generators, more powerful wind turbines that use less wind flow, and again the list goes on. Oh yes, biomass is being used to electrify small towns.

    Times are changing, and fools like you will be left wondering in amazement at the changes made.

And from such people turn away"

    I really like Kati Porter.
    She was a student of Elizabeth Warren at Harvard Law School.

    So was Michelle Wu, a young Asian broad currently leading in the polls to become the new Mayor of Boston.
    This bright kid has a future as well.

    Warren is a brilliant teacher as well as legislator. I just wish that she had a more local accent. And also that she or Bernie were President.

    You just can't stop lying. Why is that?

    Solar thermal is extremely efficient, and if you bothered to read the link you would see that it is becoming more efficient in a lab setting right now.

    Law is a liberal art. It isn't a science. It isn't something to do with engineering or business. It's a simple liberal art.

    You cannot get more than 1.4 kw out of a square meter of ground in sunlight. That's fixed. A solar panel can never be more than 100% efficient and right now the best ones are about 20% representing about a 5% increase in efficiency over the last 20 or so years. PV solar is DC electrical power. That requires an inverter (static or dynamic) to turn it into AC. Solar doesn't work when the sun isn't shining.

    Those are irrefutable facts. PV panels also work best at top efficiency when the sun is at a 90 degree angle to the panel face. When it isn't there is a decrease in efficiency. That is a fact too.

    Solar thermal like at Ivanpah is so inefficient and expensive two more plants on the same design have been cancelled and there's no plans to build any more. It's actually worse than PV solar and PV solar is terrible.

    LMFAO. So why didn't you just say she spent years in college studying law?

    Solar thermal for Hydrogen is not the same as solar thermal for electricity generation. But you know that.

    Why can't you stop lying?
