"Where you try to put enough solar panels to make
. . the watts . . one can not grow food crops or trees."

BUT, But... if there are fewer crops, there is more CO2. Build more wind turbines! Guys love climbing 250 feet up ladders to work on them.

Nemo> Thats great . I am a solar fan, just cant figure why it is so hard to really get this going.


1.) Solar watts are expensive compared to other generation sources.

2.) Solar requires two sets of electrical generation.
. . .The cells and inverters, and the means to make
. . .watts at night.

3.) Solar panels are somewhat fragile - especially
. . .when compared to the average nuke plant.

4.) While I'm pretty sure one could plant enough
. . solar panels in Nevada to power new York city . .
. . one can not get the watts from Nevada to new York.

5.) Where you try to put enough solar panels to make
. . the watts . . one can not grow food crops or trees.

Now, I do think we should be putting solar panels on
roof tops. With an eye towards replacing expensive
peak demand watts with not so expensive solar watts.
