Germany managed to produce 35% of peak electricity demand from solar power on Friday and 50% of peak demand on Saturday.
You guys still think it so outrageous to abandon fossil fuels?
There is a sexy widget on this website that shows you the figures:

When they can make a full size (or even mid size) electric SUV or pickup, or something along the lines of an electric Mustang GT that can perform the same as their fuel combustion counterparts then we'll talk. |
It may come as a surprise, but there is more to life than penis overcompensat- I mean, big automobiles that make cool noises 'n sh** |
Then I guess there's room in your mouth for my SUV, too....... |
I'm not into guys, but there must be a place in your area where you can find some sweaty manlove |
It hasn't escaped my attention that you seem to follow my posts and reply to them with at least something.
Your boy Kraichgauer seems to have an affinity for me me, too........ |
I think perhaps you take me wrong, I appreciate your humor and try to engage you in a similar manner. Personally I would definitely want to see electric vehicles that can match performance of conventional vehicles

Try generating solar power at night. See how successful you are.

You misunderstand how Germany uses solar power. During the day when the sun is shining they get as much of their electricity as possible from solar. During that time they reduce the power output from nuclear and fossil fuels. At night, which tends to have lower electricity demand anyway, the nuclear/fossil fuel plants will produce some more electricity to make up for what is no longer available from solar. Essentially solar panels are just used to save nuclear/fossil fuel when they can. And it has reduced their CO2 emissions.

I'm hoping that solar/wind energy will be utilitzed more in the future. Oil isn't going to be around forever, and we could still use it for many other produces besides for our vehicles and nuclear power is increasingly worrying.

not taking the amount of turbines in the world into account and the new generation turbines jsut as i told you the last time you started down this road
@snapcap | Quote: | | Scientists say that, even with the increased radioactivity, the levels in the tuna are still within the limits of what is safe to eat. |
just because you detect it does not make it dangerous, you have several radioactive materials in your body right now and most of it natural.
fruit is radioactive, especially bananas and brazil nuts, they will even set off some on site radiation detectors when they screen the workers at the start of each day.
all this shows is that we need more education and training, it shows little about the actual technology.
besides what alternatives do people have if they dont want green or nuclear energy in the future?, oil is finite and is becoming more and more expensive, not only because of demand but also because of increasing cost of extraction.
ethanol? that would require we use some land for farming it, on a planet where we even today are having trouble feeding people, even in the west, though much of that is down to greed and ego.

It's still relatively safe, but if you had the choice, anyone would take the clean fish over the swimming cancer. It's over time that these events will become more numerous, and by the time it's too late to do something, that might be it!

Think anytime soon they are going to separate the glowing fish from the non glowing fish at the supermarket?

i didnt see any radiation figures in the article whcih leads me to suspect its probably trace amounts, meaning in the case of tuna heavy metal poisening would kill you well before the radiation would.(some of which comes directly from leaded fuel)
that is why its ridicoulous, well that and the fact that nuclear power doesnt have to be inherently unstable, you can construct safer alternatives with less waste.

That's a pretty bizarre picture. I'd never heard of that happening. I'm assuming it must be pretty rare considering the number of non-exploding wind turbines out there. x But I see no reason why some clever engineering can't solve that. From what Oodain says it already has.

In any case, you were responding to a comment about solar panels, not wind turbines.

How are we getting hung up on aesthetic appeal with this topic?
Just place the panels or windmills or what-have-you strategically such that their visibility from common tourist destinations is minimized. Coal, oil, and natural gas plants are hardly pleasing to the eyes. |

From your article:
Scientists say that, even with the increased radioactivity, the levels in the tuna are still within the limits of what is safe to eat.
More unfounded scare mongering.
Tsunami - 28,000 deaths
Fukushima - 0 deaths
I can't recall there ever being such a global media panic over an event that killed zero people... |
