Subject: RE: BS: Problems with Solar Energy
you do not need daylight to make electricity. you do not need dams or coal or gas or uranium.

remember the 12 mile long space tether deployment that ended up snapping under the stress on a space shuttle mission years ago? IT WAS GENERATING/COLLECTING OVER 3 MILLION VOLTS WHEN IT BROKE.
A rose bush generates between 50 and 100 volts here on earth by simply being made of water and being exposed to wind and a magnetic field.
Tesla could put solar energy to shame by just having a sufficiently long wire in the sky to provide electricity. Yes it would be a hazard to airplanes and cross eyed geese but apart from the carbon footprint of manufacture and installation, it is sustainable and clean. If we could make it of spier webs and carbon bucky tubes it would be 16 times stonger than steel and light weight.

Never mind, of course it wouldn't work, so don't even try, besides the fox news for hire types would buy a 100 million dollars of ads and e-perts to sell you on why it would be a waste of money and time.

A personal friend of mine, Victor Telenco, improved solar cell performance 30 years ago and progress is still being made today by making them as archectectural film and other improvments.

the biggest problem with solar energy is



oil and its ultra rich cabal.




I wonder where that tether is now and how it rates with other space debris.
