It's a solar project in NEVADA.

Are you familiar with the climate of NEVADA? The arid, dry desert state?

Are you aware that 80% of Nevada is owned by the federal government?

Did you read the article you screen-capped? Where it says that the project will be funded by a private company, and built on federal land? (land that would otherwise be unused)

Solar energy is viable in certain regions– such as the desert. (Where it rarely rains and there is hardcore sunshine throughout the year.)

The other part that makes this project intriguing is the use of lithium batteries for long-term storage. The biggest knock on renewable energy production is that they typically do not possess the means of long-term storage.

The reason Trump greenlit this project is because it is funded by the private sector, and makes use of the desert's most readily available resource– sunlight.

If you don't live in the desert, then solar energy is a poor investment. Burn fossil fuels to stay warm.

As you said, facts matter.

I was born in Houston.

The idea that Texas could transition to a wind-based power supply is laugh out loud funny. I didn't even realize such an idea had been executed. Because I would never describe Texas as a "windy" place.

Hawaii, on the other hand, makes much more sense for this type of power source. Tiny island(s) in the middle of the Earth's largest ocean, surrounded by massive air systems moving across the water.

Do you know why the polar vortex is not habbening in Nevada? Because it is protected by an enormous mountain range. Texas is not. That is why the Texas desert is a bad place to try this kind of crap.

It's all about infrastructure. You're not building this thing in a vacuum.

Can you protect your energy infrastructure from the elements?

The benefit of Nevada and Arizona is that they don't usually experience extreme weather conditions (except for heat).

Texas gets it all. Hurricanes. Tornados. Floods. Heat. Snow/Cold. That's a lot of things to consider when planning massive infrastructure projects.

This guy does a pretty good job explaining the downside of heavily investing in renewable energy infrastructure, before the technology is ready.

I don't think McConnel is about to destroy the base of the party. He's just destroying our support for him and his faggot friends.

Nobody will miss that weak little bitch.

>Trump not firing Wray is a tell.

Agree with this.

Not sure what to make of it, though.

I don't know who any of these people are, nor do I care.
