What role will solar power and wind power play in the future?
Posted by: | CommentsRelated posts
I know the nation is an fuel crisis, not an energy crisis people. I don’t have a solar car so the sun is going to be no help in getting to the grocery store. What is America supposed to do to get these gas prices down? I feel raped when I pull away from the pumps. The politicians have no control over the prices. The big 5 oil compaines are just stuffing their pockets and the people keep paying the price because WE DON’T HAVE A CHOICE.

How is wind energy going to create jobs?
Posted by: | CommentsNot including the green jobs the free market has already taken into account.
Wind energy costs 25% more than coal. In essence our energy productivity will go down by 25%.
Whenever has productivity going down created jobs?
Do not give me the foreign oil, the only time foreign oil is used in energy production is for peeker plants. Wind can not replace that.
As an engineer I like the idea of power and all kinds of power. Also as an engineer I can not see a more expensive means creating jobs.
The 25% more espensive is from my Mechanical ENgineering hand book.
One coal generator vs. about 10,000 for wind for the same power.
where to begin.
I am an engineer.
We wast more energy at night than we currently or probale ever will get from wind.
If you borrow money to put in a plant, the building of the plant is a net zero jobs. As jobs are eliminated from other areas as you pay that back.
Wind will take jobs away from other industries, raise your monthly rate, taking jobs away from other areas.
I never said I was against wind (although we should focus on storage first) I just asked how it would create jobs.
We can still make coal and Nuclear cheaper as well. It was not that long ago the guy designed the new hopper (funny shaped) that prevented cloggs.
Thunder B,
I have evidence from several engineering manual. The link ou produced neglects the energy wasted due to the fact the wind does not blow.
If wind was cheaper it would go in under private investment. And T BOONE pickens would not need money to get it going.
qris,
Productivity decreasing does not create jobs. It may increase the job for that industry, but that means it must cost more and decrease jobs elsewhere. If you it takes a plumber 2X as long as one, you will be out more on plumbing and less on other things.
