This thread is about "Electric Power Plants"Sunny Boy wrote: ↑Sun. May. 27, 2018 11:45 amSure bet for solar and wind ?
My winter need for electricity is ten times that of summer.
When I need electricity the most, the days are many hours shorter, the sun angle is much lower requiring a change in panel tilt angle to gain best performance. The weather is heavy cloud cover most days of the winter months that further reduces output, the solar panels often get covered with wet snow requiring someone to go up on a roof to clear them - possibly several times a day ? No thanks.
Here wind is very inconsistent. Even the many large windmills on ridge tops north of me in Madison County are often not turning whenever I drive by. 15-20 years ago it was common to see trucks carrying windmill parts to new sites. Haven't seen any in the last 15 years. I think the wind power idea is now becalmed.
Only sure bet is lots of "solar companies" took our tax dollars and went broke when the "green power" demand didn't match the hype.

Yup. And how many of those green energy companies on that list I posted that failed,....had "big board rooms" ?
