2022-05-27 Wind Turbine End-of-life Waste
Comparison of wind turbine waste. There really is no comparison – coal power plants generate hundreds of times more fly ash waste than wind turbines, and fly ash is toxic! Compared to coal, wind turbine waste is insignificant! Wind turbine blade waste generates 0.163 kg per MWh over a 20 year period. A coal power

2022-05-25 DoE SETO: Solar Must Double In Next 3 Years
Let’s get going! Time is wasting! It’s got to be done ASAP! << The US Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) said in order to meet 2035 targets, solar deployment has to double in the next three years, and ultimately ramp up to 100 GW by 2035. >> https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/05/20/perovskite-solar-cell-technology-on-the-road-to-commercialization/
2022-05-23 More Concentrated Solar Must Be Installed
I believe that more concentrated solar systems should be installed. The one I’m talking about is the trough reflectors that heat the fluid that is stored in insulated tanks and can keep running the generators after sunset. These solve the energy storage problem, especially when the day might be cloudy or raining. There is a

2022-05-16 Australia Too Much Solar Eating Itself
There are times of the day when rooftop PV solar is generating more power than is being used. The utilities had to pay users to use it and the prices went into the negative. They have to remotely turn off some solar. What I see is that they should build several pumped hydro storage systems

2022-05-07 Nuclear Energy Is Not The Answer – 7 Reasons
https://eu.boell.org/en/2021/04/26/7-reasons-why-nuclear-energy-not-answer-solve-climate-change The 7 reasons why nuclear energy is not the answer to solve climate change Analysis New nuclear power costs about 5 times more than onshore wind power per kWh. Nuclear takes 5 to 17 years longer between planning and operation and produces on average 23 times the emissions per unit electricity generated. In addition,
