So the cost would be immense.
And they would mostly be generating power at a
time of day when the grid has a surplus of power.
THATS the very fundamental problem with solar on the grid.

Nope, because they wouldnt all be working for long.

My BIL, a cabinetmaker, has used a windmill to run his household, shop,
and car since the 1990s. He sells his excess to the utility.
Naturally he doesn't use electricity to heat � but I doubt any of his
neighbors have heat pumps, either. I'm sure his refrigeration is
electric. I'll bet he has electric cooking, but I haven't asked.

Forty years ago, I knew a rich man who had been a corporate president,
then a farmer, then retired. He lived in an elegant house he'd built.
He once complained that his electric bill was nearly $2.
He loved the convenience of electricity for lighting, music, cooking,
refrigerating, water heating, etc. He kept his refrigerator in the
cellar because it made sense to put it where it was cool and he didn't
want noise in his living space. If he had a few minutes to spare, he'd
cook with wood because it was more enjoyable than electricity. His
electric bill was low because he had 19th Century aesthetic values.

Because of course there is no such thing as increased demand for air
conditioning in the summer.

He clearly doesn't live in a city -- I can't imagine any City Zoning
Board allowing a windmill, and many HOAs don't even allow clotheslines.
I wouldn't mind having a windmill in the backyard, and I'd LOVE a cell
tower!

maybe
I can put a square yard panel on roof and inverter for
abt $800
since the USA has 4 times zones that fact helps...since
each roof gets sun at varying times of day
even if its not stored...what does it hurt?
we use the nukes, coal, and gas at night

Mostly when people get home from work, when the panels are producing fuck all power, stupid.
And its a stupidly expensive way to produce peak load power anyway.

No maybe about it, you'll never see 100% of anything working

And you wouldnt be able to power much more than lights and electronic appliances from it.
None of those once it gets dark.

Sure, but none of them get anything from the panels at night.

Its the cost that hurts.

Once you have those, there isnt any point in spending that $130B on a square yard of panel on every roof.
The marginal cost of running the nukes during the day is peanuts. They dont like being stopped daily anyway.

I guess that's why the Yuma County Fair warns that the Fine Arts

29 to April 3. I imagine it would be adequate on many August days.

But spread out over several time zones and millions of rooftops it's a perfect

Those can be perfectly adequately powered with the baseload power generation, fuckwit.
Its completely insane to be spending anything like $130B to replace
the existing baseload power generation for that particular load, much
more expensively.

Pity about the immensely more expensive cost, fuckwit.

After I learned that this bike organization got committed to a fight
over a mile of bike lane --he found heavy resistance from property
owners-- I decided to chip in and left my own comment...
THIS IS THE COMMENT I LEFT:
Some of the comments from property owners are selfish, some are true.
What are you going to do about a bike lane that disappears?
Better to put signs to SHARE THE ROAD WITH CYCLISTS or better yet:
1- Place liability on the car,
2- Place SPEED CAMERAS,
3- Place undercover police as cyclists,
4- Ban phones and other unnecessary gadgets.
It's a good idea to TAME TRAFFIC to protect cyclists –and
pedestrians.
http://miamibikereport.com/2011/fdot-red-road-project/#comment-543
***
I may have been given the impression above that I'm against bike
lanes. I'm not. I'm just against bike lanes that go nowhere and I say
that they are substitute for taming traffic. Taming traffic is not
easy and it may amount to a civil war of sorts as the enemy is us.
Actually, after yet another close encounter with an SUV on Indian
Creek, I'm giving up this stretch from 71st to 41st ST as NO MAN'S
LAND. I momentarily got on the road with my monkey bike to avoid this
group of people on the sidewalk, and there came this animal blasting
the horn and squeezing me. Even Pine/La Gorce are very unsafe due to
undefined space and middle isles that squeeze you. After 47st ST the
parked cars force you to take the lane, and again, it sounds like a
suicidal mission. A bike lane is the only solution in this area.
A temporary retreat is a valid survival strategy. This guy I met at
MacCycle treats the roads as a "war zone." I asked him if he carried a
bazooka and we got a big laugh.
I also met this European guy renting a Deco Bike and told him of
"Revolutions for the Planet" campaign. He told me that in Paris they
come under attack too. I'm sure they are not as mean, but I don't
doubt that in Paris there are many animals too --without the heavy
armor. I got these T-shirt that I sell --and wear-- sometimes:
"Fart de Paris"
It's meant to say, nothing special about the French.
No further reports from the front lines.

Yeah, but that bike lane is something you can take your kids too --
sheltered from traffic-- and it must take you somewhere. This lane is
next to traffic --not a chance you can take kids-- and it drops you
right in the middle of nowhere. They do it because the miles count
toward the city's "accomplishments." We got some unconnected bike
lanes like that around here and then people fight you when you ride
outside one. I bet you, the designers don't ride the lanes they
design.
This particular project touches me personally because my girlfriend's
obese son lives in that area, and we already gave him two bikes for
him and his kids, but THEY GOT NO SPACE. My girlfriend says NO WAY.

They can be evil or selfish sometimes. Maybe they haven't heard of
Climate Change.
I'm for a combination of bike paths where families are concerned, bike
lanes where the general population is encouraged to come out, and the
open road for the pros. YOU MUST TAKE THE LANE, and let the car go
around you. Or quit and stay in your home.
Yes, the campaign of intimidation is working!

I don't want to wander too much from the subject but...
KABUL, Afghanistan – For seven years, Rahim Baz Mohammad was an Afghan
police detective on a spectacularly perilous beat — a province sitting
directly between the capital and Taliban strongholds to the south and
east.
His case files bulged with kidnappings and murders. Recent victims
included a government reform official shot to death in front of his
house. In another case, a deputy provincial governor was killed when a
suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden rickshaw into his convoy.
This month, after various threats on his own life by anonymous
callers, Mohammad turned in his badge and locked himself inside his
house.
