[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5664600, member: 58386"] I never said solar farms could supply 100% BUT the well established facts whether you want to accept it or not those big old coal and nukes which take a battalion size group of people to run them simply cannot compete in a deregulated market. Instead of 200 or more people to run those old things the smaller gas plants that can be put up in half the time employ only a couple of dozen and the solar farms 2 or 3 with nowhere near the pollution. And the cancelled gas power plant I mentioned earlier. The one turbine was designed to go on PJM and the other was to go up north. Andy Ott of PJM told the developers that they would have to find a way to cut 70 million dollars out of the construction cost if they had any chance of competing in a deregulated market with no guarantee that they would even need the power to begin with, Not to mention the fact that the amperage losses from trying to push power through those old grid lines is substantial. And BTW global temperatures have been slowly move up for the past several decades. The most important fact however is that I've not heard a single qualified climatologist who will tell you that it's not going to get worse. [/QUOTE]
