Yes, it’s all about money. New nuclear power plants are economically infeasible and the utilities won’t buy them. The new nuclear power plants have had multi-billion dollar cost overruns and decade long construction delays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
New nuclear and thermal power plants require a huge amount of water for cooling and have to be located near a source of water. There’s not enough water to build new nuclear and thermal power plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “oil guys who transitioned to green” are greenwashing – they say they are green but they’re lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solar panels are warranted for a length of time and if the panel loses 1% per year then it would be “end of life” at 85% after only 15 years. That’s just not happening; the panel may lose about 1\/2% per year over its 30 year lifetime. It’s a lie that panels lose 2% or 3% – that would be end of life at 10 or 5 years, and be within the warranty replacement period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most panels that have dropped to 85% are replaced and the used panels are sold, guaranteed to put out 250 Watts minimum.\u00a0 They end up spending a decade or more serving in less critical areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big oil and fossil fuel industries have been lying to the public for decades and have put us into this huge global warming mess, and they _must be stopped!_<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
