Hahahaha Q is actually an extraterrestrial!
Democratic voter on why he is 'furious' with Biden https://video.foxnews.com/v/6294305320001
I wonder if Malania is Q, sometimes...
That was good. Unfortunately, the people who need to hear this will likely dismiss this man as an 'Uncle Tom' and will refuse to accept it because of the source (Fox News). Even the Obama's speaches and policies were crafted by the former vice president of fox news, lol.
Assessing Virginia’s Hidden Wind And Solar Costs
https://townhall.com/columnists/pau...irginias-hidden-wind-and-solar-costs-n2602527
the 2020 “Virginia Clean Economy Act” still requires that utility companies close all fossil fuel generating plants – and replace them with wind and solar power by 2045.
The VCEA also stipulates that “not less than 5,200 megawatts” (rated capacity) of that “clean, renewable” power must come from offshore wind. That translates into 370 14-MW turbines, 430 12-MW turbines or 865 6-MW turbines off the Virginia coast. Construction of the first 180 has already hit cost overruns and could reach $10 billion.
The offshore turbines will supposedly power 660,000 homes. But that will happen only when winds are blowing at speeds required for full rated capacity, perhaps 40-45% of the year, sporadically and unpredictably. When winds do not cooperate, Virginia will need backup power.
The VCEA says utilities must “build or acquire” 3,100 “megawatts” (megawatt-hours?) of “energy storage.” This likely means battery modules. If Tesla 85-kilowatt-hour modules are used, some 37,000 would be needed – to provide several hours or days of electricity requirements, depending on how widespread a blackout might be following a hurricane or other storm, or simply amid inadequate wind.
Virginia’s carbon-free energy plan doesn’t contemplate new hydroelectric or nuclear power. It mostly means thousands of onshore and offshore wind turbines and millions of solar panels, covering 10-25 times the area of Washington, DC – depending on the types of turbines and mix of wind and solar power. Hundreds of miles of new transmission lines will bring this far-flung electricity to Virginia urban centers.
Threats to raptors and other birds, bats, whales, dolphins and other wildlife are significant. But the act “declares” that all these installations are “in the public interest,” because they will help “combat climate change.” That suggests that environmental reviews could be fast-tracked and cursory.
The 'CO2phobes' are deranged and extremely self-righteous.
Clean energy is nice but what good is it if it all needs dirty resources and dirty energy to back it up? As it is they estimate energy losses at 20% or so from transmission losses. If your energy comes from stored battery power they too have a less than 100% efficiency ratio and limited lifetime.

If your energy comes from stored battery power they too have a less than 100% efficiency ratio and limited lifetime. So that compounds the energy losses from generation to use.
One reason why energy production should be very local (and no Hempy, that does not mean national); preferably located at each residence. Any form of (contemporary technology) energy transmission encounters power losses.
