Solar Energy 50 years late and still in the big talk, no delivery phase. [View All]

I might add it is still prohibitively expensive, for all except anti-science daydreaming brats living on trust funds.

Oodles of money and subsidies have been dumped on it, but the total energy output of the scam, 50 years of bull, still can't produce as much energy in this country as two large Areva EPR can produce in a year in a two relatively small buildings, with a correspondingly smaller environmental impact and without the destruction of huge tracts of land.

This can be determined by simple data and mathematics, although this will not deter dangerous fossil fuel apologists, like the BP funded Amory Lovins and his admirers here from complaining about nuclear energy.

The data is here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/alternate/page/renew_energy_consump/table1.html

By the way, the reason that nuclear power is the largest, by far, source of climate change gas free energy in the United States is that the United States built 104 reactors in a twenty five year time span. I note with due contempt that the anti-nuke complaints about nuclear power delays constitute a case of arsonists complaining about fires. They deliberately, out of ignorance, encouraged the destruction of the intellectual and industrial infrastructure in this county, filed specious lawsuits designed to appeal to ignorance and then remark that nuclear power plants are difficult to build. Not in Japan. Not in China. Not in India.

Why not in those countries? Because they couldn't care less in those countries what illiterate anti-science light weight bloggers with no educations think.

According to this, um, data, the solar PV dangerous fossil fuel greenwashing anti-nuke industry, funded by the likes of BP "beyond petroleum" has been able to produce after 50 years (and trillion ton quantities of dangerous fossil fuel waste dumped) just 0.091 quads of the roughly 100 quads of energy used by the United States.

0.091 quads = 0.096 exajoules if one can do math, which leaves the anti-nuke cheering and chanting cult out of following it.

As I often note, the number of seconds over the last 50 years of "solar will save us" dangerous fossil fuel greenwashing is still 31,577,600 seconds, and thus the average continuous power production of the entire solar industry in the entire United States is just 3,000 Megawatts, ignoring the thermodynamic losses for a putative and toxic energy storage industry.

Still, dangerous fossil fuel apologists, inspired by BP funded rhetoric, banality, limited and selective attention and denial of what has happened in the last 30 years of their unchanged denialist bullshit designed to attack the world's largest, by far, source of climate change gas free energy - at the very hour that the entire gulf of Mexico, including parts of Florida are being destroyed by one of their paymasters, come here demanding we throw money down their ignorance pie hole.

Cretins, all of them.
