Is anyone truly surprised by the dominion reply? Shouldn’t be. Dollars rule over common sense and the environment. Dominion will lose billions if they lose lawsuit and a lot of their pockets will not be so full of taxpayer cash. Just sayin’.

Comment on Officialdom Responds to Doubts That a Renewables-Based Electricity System Will Work by usurbrain
Presently the United States consumes 122 Quadrillion BTUs [that is 122 with 15 zeros or 122,000,000,000,000,000 Btu] of energy per year. 110 of that is Fossil or not designated as renewable, e.g. Nuclear. Of the 12 Quadrillion obtained from “Renewable” only 1/3 comes from Wind/Solar. Also, about 1/3 of the so called renewable, e.g. biomass, ethanol, etc., emits CO2.
A solar panel, regardless of how “Efficient” it is can only produce name plate rated power for less than six hours a day with no interruptions by clouds or shadows from trees. Factoring in the the potential areas of the US as shown on the maps of available solar energy shows that less than 1/4 of the US will even provide rated name plate power for even six hours a day. https://www.altestore.com/diy-solar-resources/solar-insolation-map-usa/
The same is also true for Wind Power. https://www.windsolarenergy.org/map-of-best-locations-for-wind-power.htm

It is the science of consensus again, the modern way of proving something. No facts, no data but we all agree so it must be true.
Please can we go back to real science.

Comment on Study: Aussie Outback Carbon Offset Tree Planting “… not reducing emissions as promised …” by SteveZ56
If, according to Chris Bowen, “the rain doesn’t always fall” in the outback, does he have any plans to bring water from the coast to the outback to water his trees?

As of 31st October 2022, the installed electricity generating capacity in the country was 409 GW including 166 GW of RE generating capacity (including large hydro), which is about 40% of the total installed electricity generating capacity in the country. India has envisaged to increase the non-fossil fuel based installed electricity generation capacity to 500 GW by 2030.

Comment on Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute Shows January Arctic Sea Ice Now 20 Years Stable! by John Hultquist
I’m sure I have seen several statements that Arctic Ocean ice would be gone in some summer long ago.
Then, the goal was changed so that Zero no longer meant 0. (–> 1 M sq. km. now called a Wadham – – see the 1st comment by bnice)
97% of scientist would call this and inconvenient truth. Did you just hear and echo?

In reply to Duker.
Maybe I just do not understand what your point is, but your answer “landfills are toxic for a thousand reasons.” to that cited article showing a Cd leaching form CdTe solar panels “650-fold” over an US-EPA limit in an experiment seems utterly meaningless!
I can make irrelevant statements too..
“Most days the sun rises in the East!”
or “Dinosaurs roamed the earth a long time ago!”
and there is some truth in “Watch the road, man!”
