From FB comment Paddy Mendez The money spent on fusion research is wasted because thermonuclear fusion is *already* available, free of charge, to anyone who wants it. That wasted fusion money could have instead been spent on “pure scientific research” and “a great many advances [could] have come from them and many more to follow”

<< Making hydrogen is hard, but researchers have solved a major hurdle. >> The article doesn’t say if it’s electrolysis. But the efficiency must be better than electrolysis for it to replace electrolysis. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-07/uota-mch071921.php I think it might be more practical to combine a solar array, electrolytic hydrogen generator and other equipment into a single

Polysilicon shortage Quote: << The latest global PV industry outlook published by trade group SolarPower Europe, has indicated tight supply of the solar panel raw material is expected to persist this year but the trade body said it would be unlikely to drive further price rises. >> https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/07/22/polysilicon-shortage-will-continue-through-2021/
David Cowlishaw It has been more than ten years since that article was written / published, but there still hasn’t been a “water powered car.” So what has been your excuse? You used the excuse that the “oil barons” took this invention and made it disappear. I know this for a fact. In the next

Their interfering turbulences multiply their effect 3 to 4 times. And they kill no birds. This article is more than 5 years old. Nothing has occurred. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2016/04/29/stanford-small-wind-arrays-can-outperform-conventional-wind-farms-with-no-bird-kill/
Important Info What really angers me is the cynical propaganda that has been spread by the fossil fuel proponents that the electrical grid can’t be stable without “base load” from thermal power plants. This lie must be buried as soon as possible by research studies and as much proof as possible by real world experience.

😧Do you have any concept of how big a 100 GW wind and solar farm is? That’s ginormous! 100 000 000 000 / 1000 * 4 equals 400 000 000 solar panels! 😱😱😱 Or 100 000 000 000 / 2 000 000 per turbine equals 50 000 wind turbines! Okay let’s say 200 million solar

The cost of green hydrogen must come down or else the gas turbines must be used as a peaker plant during the time when high demand causes electricity price to spike. As the percentage of renewables increases, this may happen more often. But that will cost consumers. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/07/14/hydrogen-fired-gas-turbines-vs-lithium-ion-storage/
This article wrongly assumes that the solar panels are no longer usable after 25 years. But they can still put out 80% or more of their power after 25cyears. Some panels are sold as used 250 Watt panels for $50. Others may be shipped to other countries for use in areas with no electricity. https://electrek.co/2020/08/24/where-do-solar-panels-go-when-they-die/
This Free Energy ropeway carries 300 tonnes a day using no power, just gravity. It was built in 1924, and is a mile and a half long.
