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

So you are charging your car during the day using solar power, which means you can't use it during the day. This is your solution????!?
 
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 save fuel"?

Wow. An actual argument and reasoning from you. I'm impressed. Keep it up.
 

So you expect people to charge their electric cars using a home generator, powered by natural gas, propane, or oil. Gotit.
 
I just turned on a light, and know for a fact that the grid is doing fine for me at the moment.



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.

So you freely admit that you are hooking up your solar power system up in an illegal and dangerous manner. Gotit.
 
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.

Uh...not quite.

He is suggesting a home generating system. That generator is fueled by natural gas, propane, or oil products. All so he can charge his electric car.
 
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.
You apparently aren't aware that the Sun sets each day.
Emergency gasoline generators are horrible to maintain, if you had ever dealt with one, you would know what I am saying.

I have no trouble maintaining any of my generators.
 
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.

Still might proud of that 1% of total sales, eh?

No, EVs are not clean energy. They are not energy. They are a car that has to be charged from somewhere. Unlike gasoline cars which can be refueled in a few minutes, an electric car requires hours (and in some cases DAYS, depending on the charging system available) to 'refuel'.
 
The scenario where there is no sunlight, but we have plenty of gasoline?
No, he is not talking about that scenario. However, since you bring it up, THIS scenario is repeated each night.
There is absolutely no way to replace solar energy.
So how do you survive at night?
Right now solar energy cannot fully replace gasoline, but we can survive without gasoline.
Solar panels are piddle power, dude, even during the day.
We cannot survive without solar energy.
Solar panels are not plants, dude.
 
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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You've been watching too many science fiction movies!

Mars is a planet not much bigger than our own Moon, and therefore has a very thin atmosphere. Mars also have very little water, and that's in the form of ice.
NO matter what you do, it will never be a garden spot.
