The power revolution - winners and losers : Comments

By Peter McCloy, published 27/5/2015

I have a grazier friend who invested more than $1 million in solar panels for his properties in the earliest days of such schemes. They are returning 17 per cent per annum

As I said, you're not even entertaining.

Luciferase,
I realise that as a peer-reviewed paper from engineering experts the piece I'm linking to below isn't quite up to your preferred quality standards. Please forgive me, but I thought it was important you got in touch with the deluded fools who produced it as soon as possible, so they don;t go throwing any more money away!

Best let Peter Lang know, they'll want to hear from him as well, I'm sure.

Thank you for serving up this recycled dung. You've completely and utterly pinned yourself to the mast of the good ship "Wishful Thinker", as if that was not already obvious.

I'll cite a peer-reviewed article at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcc.324/pdf and raise you.

Jokes aside, I've got three words in relation to WWS, "affordability", "intermittency" and "storage". The web is chock-full of rebuttals/critiques of all aspects Jacobson's farrago of brain-farts, so I'll not add to the cacophany.

Sweet dreams.

"The web is full of"

Code for, "I have no ideas of my own, so I trawl the web hoping to find stuff to feed my confirmation bias".

In this case, it's also a revelation that one hasn't read the cited reference, which was for a paper published on 27 May this year.

I think perhaps its not the web which is full of it...
