AND THAT"S WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSHING SOLAR MANUFACTURING IN AMERICA SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO IMPORT THEM ANYMORE!You won’t have that problem with imported solar panels. Just think…..American farm fields covered with products made in China under a cloud of pollution and possibly by slave labor!
Awesome!
And the Ohio governor, who is a conservative, lowered the Ohio gas take rate. Not to long after, the current administration lowered taxes and opened American reserves as well (even though I think it took to long). That was months ago. Still over $3.50 here. Those to acts dropped it .50. The oil companies have a product we need so they can raise or lower the prices as they see fit.
But they TAX and REGULATE them!
Dayummmm, WAKE UP!
So what? Lets say one only gets 20 years of service? The 200W (degraded) output for 4 hours/day 365 days/year for 20 years is 5840 kWh. The reason Capitalists will recycle PV panels is to recover materials which would cost more to dig out of the ground than can be found in the claimed 6 million tons/year.
By golly you are right! Can't run an EV for 24 hours/day for 2 weeks!
Nobody. Because dead PV panels are a rich source of resources.
I live in it also. I teach these peoples's kids. My son is friends with their son's. The pipelines were not built by locals. They were all from Texas. And they are gone now. A lot of the drilling is employing locals, not long term. They will have all the holes drilled soon, and then what? The NG power plant employed 500 construction workers. The local labor unions had to fight to make those jobs local and not bring in outside, temporary labor. It will only retain 25 long term jobs. My nephew works for a rig clean up company. He knows all the holes will be drilled soon. That's why he started a residential concrete construction company because people want sidewalks and patios from the money they get for leasing their land. NG has no long term employment options. Where do you propose these long term employment jobs come from?
So let’s stop hydrocarbon leases and xploration and extraction and energy production that works, and damage the economy such that domestic manufacturing cannot occur —- because how will those manufacturnig plants be powered? Not by wind or solar… unless we buy it from China… chicken/egg.
I have 3 natural gas lines cutting diagonally right through the middle of my property. 30" and 36". I wish I received rent, but I knew they were there when I bought and the only thing that bothers me is I can't get NG for my home.
And how will those manufacturing plants be powered if not by hydrocarbon energy?
We have not stopped hydrocarbon production and it will not stop for many years. It's in the form of Natural gas now and its the number 1 source of electricity in America today. For the 100th time, I live in the heart of the NG boom. I am sitting 3 miles from one of the best, most efficient NG power plants in the world. They just started the construction of another one 30 miles from here. Adding options doesn't mean eliminating others.
Yes! Great! If those factories are in a location that NG is the best energy source. Other locations will use alternative sources if they are the most cost effective option.
Let's build stuff that accomplishes nothing to provide temporary jobs. Splendid.
OK. So let's say all that Canadian oil sands that's converted to usable oil in refineries on the Gulf coast hits the international market and lowers international oil prices. The Saudi's, Russians, Former USSR States, Iraq, etc... will immediately cut back production to keep the price of oil high, because it's supply and demand.
But the Pwers-That-Be want to eliminate it, regardless (or possibly even because they want) the repercussions.
And they are cutting back now without the additional capacity anyway. Because they know that we need it, we shut off our own spigots, and they can pick our pockets. Unlike when we were expanding domestic production just a few short years ago to where we became a net EXPORTER.
I wonder how many solar panels would be needed to run, say, the Lodge Cookware foundry… and how many storage batteries would be needed, not just for regular production but to cover periods of bad weather . . . Over how much acreage…
They've invested in planting a mono-crop for future harvest that lacks biodiversity compared to a multi-species forest.
Keep thinking that.
