Solar Energy

[GrumpysWife]

2 of my sons were working for a company building solar panels for a huge housing project in New Hampshire.

I'm just posting on this, to bump it up so I can add some more to it shortly.

Years ago they used salt as a electrical storage medium for solar. There is a company in TX looking at a new dielectric storage medium ( new type capacitor ). It has been delayed. Lithium batteries, lead acid, gel, and the list goes on. Is solar the answer - only partially. The best returns are on conservation -such as more effecient devices and appliances, etc. This from a guy who has been a fan of alternate energy for 50 years.

 

European & Asian fridges and cars consume a lot less energy than those in North America - and at least with vehicles -they can only stay in US for 30 days without being confiscated & destroyed.  Japanese model Toyota Prius - can not be sold in North America - a NA model with a much less effecient system is sold here.

Years ago just before they intoduced the Prius to NA- they had a Prius & a 2 seater in North Bay, ON to show off the concept. The 2 seater got well over 200 MPG -this was in the 90's.

All this technical stuff is going right over the top of my head, but I'm sure happy to have my half dozen solar panels on our shed roof.   Our friendly federal government gave 'em to us for free and installed them too - we jumped at the chance.   Solar has reduced our electricity bill by about a third, to around $10 a week (although we do have gas for cooking and heating water - and thats about $250 a year, or $5 a week).    We're lucky in that the energy our panels produce we sell back to the national grid until 2018 for a goodly price.    We made sure that we chose good European solar panels though - there has been horror stories of some unfortunate people choosing cheaper panels that have caused some problems.     Years ago, when we lived near the sea, we bought a yacht, and after having numerous starter problems, we eventually installed small solar panels on our boat, to keep the batteries topped up and they worked brilliantly.   And yes, its true, having a boat is like having a hole in the water where you keep chucking bucket-loads of money into.

Anyone checked Nano Solar in Calif.? They use print screen tech. to make long rolls -5 miles? Long. Much cheaper- they have their panels assembled in Germany. Originally designed for scrub land and along highways in megawatt configurations.

Thanks Sharon,

 

It may seem as all jibberish to some, but all science eventually comes down to fomulas that describe the whole universe. Jehovah is the most SUPRIME mathematician ever. To create everything it all had to be designed, using math to create it. 

 

In the New World if you wanted to learn this science you could. Your mind will be able to grap it easily.

 

This should help everyone to appreciate just how grand Jehovah really is.

 

No, I can't do the math either.
