Global Warming Revisited

[AEON]

Solar now costs 6¢ per kilowatt-hour, beating government goal by 3 years

On Tuesday, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that utility-grade solar panels have hit cost targets set for 2020, three years ahead of schedule. Those targets reflect around $1 per watt and 6¢ per kilowatt-hour in Kansas City, the department’s mid-range yardstick for solar panel cost per unit of energy produced (New York is considered the high-cost end, and Phoenix, Arizona, which has much more sunlight than most other major cities in the country, reflects the low-cost end).

Solar is a hoax.

Solar power = glorified hyper photovoltaics

I don't get the jokes :0

Seems to be good news ?

Or it could simply be poking at an unpopular personality here, just because

Naw....

Or could it be just poking fun at science deniers in general?

Naw... easier to assume, play victim, poke with a stick and then flee

I got your joke. The photovoltaic one not so much.

Ohhhhhhhh yes of course.

Sorry been spending too much time being pro-nuclear in space... don't find photovoltaics funny at all. I hate them.

People like me are why it's not glorified hyper photovoltaics. It's real.

Erm. I'm also not sure that meme applies here.

Cmon guyz.

The meteorologists who I've been hearing have said you can't point to a particular storm and say climate change caused it, but you can probably say it is exacerbating the situation.

Yes, I think there are some cc deniers that will continue to willfully ignore blatant evidence.

As pointed out professionals are dealing with it now or planning for soon to be changes esp with rising sea levels. Besides of course low lying areas of the USA - for instance; there is a chain of beautiful islands off the southwestern tip of India called The Republic of Maldives that are are the flattest country on the earth. They average four feet above current sea level. A lot is around three feet or less. This is eventually a totally threatened place.

Another striking comparison are the more historical photos of glacial areas say 50 or more years ago and now. It doesn't even have to be that far back in all cases to see dramatic differences. How someone can "argue" with these two examples...

In the zoological and horticultural arenas animals and plants used to more warmer have been moving north bit by bit as the climate changes, as well as the converse those that need cooler climes are heading further north as well.

LN7 What is wrong with photovoltaics? [unless you were making a counter joke that I didn't get]
Solar energy is mostly based on pvs , right?

In space exploration, there's a general irrational fear of nuclear power systems and nuclear propulsion systems. Legitimately irrational.
