You sound like a green politico that slept during the few physics classes in his curriculum (that's a diminuitive). The goal of power generation is generating reliable power, not jobs. This is Germany's STRONG position.

This green tech ?

Strenght in green energy, like this ? ROFL.

Because I'm sick as hell having to pay four times as much for green-as-piss electricity, seeing both landscapes and nice roofs ruined by eyesores (wind / pv panels), being lectured by busybodies that's weren't paying attention during physics classes and not fully being compensated by snugness when I can say "told you so" as the inevitable blackouts become part of my daily life. That's why.

Oh, I thought it was body-laden bin instead of a bag.

Impossible. Thousands of climate scientists could not have overlooked this. It's too late for these novelties: the science is settled.

The sun's output is constant, always has been, and even if it weren't, the effect on the climate wouldn't be noticable, and even if it were, it could only be warming.

Hmm, its 2m wingspan will discourage the hawks. This weekend I was soaring my 1.5m eHawk, circling amidst a flock of 5 buzzards (larger than hawks) which seemed to appreciated the company !

I don't think so. Most of the 'stabilization hard- and software' of the birds is probably built-in into the autonomous neurological network, just like a human is able to walk/run/jump upright - which is inherently unstable - without having to consciuously micromanage all muscles that are involved.

You wsitched november and uniform. :)

Roughly (3000kg * [100..250]Wh/kg) / (100hp * 750W/hp) = [4..10]h

Take the lower limit to account for inefficiencies, packaging,...

Your 4 laws of thermochronodynamics: You can't win, you can't break even, you have to play and there is no way out weaseling backwards.

Yes, the ring pops but doesn't look half bad; the pixelated stars are another matter though... linky

If you didn't know already, that's called a Pyrrhic victory.

No surprise, as Australia used to be a continental size prison and is inhabited by descendants of criminals. Even after some generations, Australians still can not be trusted and need large amounts of positive and negative 'guidance'. Or so it seems to an outsider ;)
