you are about as whitty as everyone else that has to revert to name calling to try and win and arguement.
you helped prove my point - they all lie!!!!

What I will not vote for is a man affiliated with a party that has deteriated this country over the past 8 yrs and for a man that says we will continue down this same path.

This coming from a guy who resorts to name calling at the beginning of almost every post.

Keep posting, you keep me entertained.

Solar power is lacking because it isn’t that efficient. iirc its like this... The light the solar panels pick up is only a fraction of what the sun puts out. They don't have the technology yet to use the full output of the sun.

Think of it this way, the light energy the sun puts out is incense a rainbow of colors that the solar panels absorb, today’s solar panels only take in one color or so (lets say white) well you still have all of the other colors that are reflected off as heat energy so your solar cells **** in a sense, until they come up with a way more efficient cell. Right now at best I think that the cells are only 20% efficient

now that that is done, McCain will pwn all....

Not efficient?

Dude...how much energy does it take to power solar panels? minimal to none //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

So any gain in itself is efficient.

Perhaps not an effecient use of money.

100% agree on that one.

Used to have a solar powered hot water heater, it broke down and it was too expensive to fix so it stayed broken. Maybe I should fix it one day :/

Very true but you are wasting alot of potental(sp) energy , as well as having to have huge "Farms" of solar panels just isnt cost effective for now.

If/when they have a solar panel that is say 80% eff (give or take), I do belive that is the way to go.

iirc the light energy that the sun puts out in one day is enough to fulfill the worlds needs for a full year. Tell me that not potentail(sp)

We need more windmills. Wyoming is nothing but a big ol windy state of ****. I say windmill farm the whole fukn state.

Meh, I really dont know to much about wind mills and shit but I just think that they are to big and cumberson to be resourcefull at all. I mean there are some places that they will work great in. but they are very costly and need constant maintance work. From what little I have read

I think that it will tkae a combanation of all or some. I dont think that we will be able to survive on just Solar, or just hydro. I honestly didnt know that we used that much hydro energy

Solar panels are expensive because they are not mas produced. So do you think society will do this on their own?

I actually hope gas hits 6, maybe 7 bucks a gallon.... ONLY to force us into action. As long as gas is cheap, we will never change the way we do business. When gas hits a price that pains us, we will make changes.

Solar would be cheap if it were used on a large scale.

Hell, i can remember 500 dollar VCRs 25 years ago.

I remember 500 dollar dvd players when they first came out. Now you can get one for 20 bucks.

HD tvs that i paid almost 4k for are under 2k now. Prices will always drop when the itema are mass produced. There is not a need to mass produce solar as long as there are other cheaper sources of energy.

I want govt involved to speed up the process. You think restraunts and bars would have stopped smoking inside on their own? hell no, it was govt that mandated a change.

You think new home makers will put on solar panels if they dont think it will make them a buck? if all home makers were MANDATED to use solar panels, it wouldnt hurt any of them, as ALL new homes would have them and people wouldnt have to make a choice.

Honestly...and this is my opinion...

If the hippie naturalist fegs would get over themselves and see the benefit of nuclear power we would have PLENTY of energy. I remember reading that we only are utilizing around 10-15% of the energy they are able to produce. Build a few more and let them run at a decent capacity and we could power the nation efficiently and cost effectively.
