1. It is funny, we just believe the US is not still in the nuclear energy game, the US military is full steam ahead developing the technology, would it not be sweet if they actually let the citizen get in on the reliable and cheap energy

2. Most of Euan’s articles on the renewable energy industry seem to boil down to the same scenario… this industry is comprised almost entirely of bullshit. Well, maybe 60% bullshit and 40% taxpayer subsidies.
   As Thomas E. just alluded to, I think nuclear energy is the easy and obvious solution. The fact warmists will not even consider using it is pretty undeniable PROOF to this guy that their agenda has nothing to do with actually reducing CO2 emissions, but everything to do with hobbling western societies.
   BTW, I have full confidence that man eventually will learn to efficiently harvest power from spent fuel rods, so I don’t listen to environmentalists carping on that subject, either.

3. … and to hobble the middle class who struggle to keep up with the unnecessarily increasing energy costs … most of which flow straight into the pockets of “green” energy cronies. The middle class is being destroyed by these “green” Socialists … just as Marx designed.

4. Most of the renewable energy advocates have no idea how to design a system, let alone what needs to be taken into consideration when doing so.
   There are a number of factors that will influence how an RE system is set up, such as load demand and location. Merely plunking a wind turbine generator or array of photovoltaic modules in place isn’t enough. Those need to be co-ordinated with when the power they produce will be required, as well as when that power will actually be available in sufficient quantities.
   As far as the super batteries that were described in the URL, I remain skeptical. Their effectiveness and reliability needs to be clearly demonstrated first.

5. Then you got Turdo thinking he is helping the MIDDLE CLASS. He’s destroying the MIDDLE CLASS and some people don’t seem to see it here in Canada. 2019 OUT with the LIE BRAL gov’t.

6. many RE advocates just know how to collect their G SoreA$$ pay check. They are technical illiterates, and math stupids. I’v challenged a few to inform me of “technical” or how climate change works, and all I’ ever get is links. And then there are those who babble on “impressively”, but wrong on just about every thing, these I think are paid shills. Yes I think that some one is paying fools to post on blogs and FB.

7. About that giant lithium-ion battery that’s been causing green hearts to flutter:
   “The lithium-ion gargantuan is housed in two trailer-truck-size green metal containers. It sits atop a 10-acre former landfill…..”
   A comment:
   “Amortized over the 10-year battery life at 5% interest, $692.kWh means and annual cost of $89.62/kWh, or $0.25/kWh each day,, while $1572/kWh means $203.58/kWh each year, or $0.56/kWh each day. These are lower bounds on the capital costs of the electricity from the battery, which would apply only in the very unlikely event that the battery is entirely discharged and completely charged every day.
   This simple calculation should be enough to reject the battery scheme as hopelessly uneconomic”
   In other words it’s a go.
