Then there is wind. There are places where the wind never stops, the Allegheny Front for instance.
Pennsylvania has been getting high winds for the past two months. Sometimes as high as 30+ mph sustained gusts. They should be producing enough electricity for the surrounding states.
“China was going to hit us with rare earth,” he said. “Now, everybody says, ‘What does that mean?’ Magnets. If China refused to give magnets because they have a monopoly on magnets because they were allowed to — it happened over a 32-year period — there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world, there wouldn’t be a radio, there wouldn’t be a television, there wouldn’t be internet, there wouldn’t be anything because magnets are such a part — Now, nobody knows what magnets are, and not overly sophisticated, but to build a magnet system would take two years.”

Pretty good idea posting as the middle card you are. A non-sequitur irrelevant to the matter we're discussing.
Aren't you a little old to be crying when you can't find your binky? P.S. all bold is the same thing as all caps - a clueless person with a rageboner.
We can back Jasmine Crockett up to a line of windmills and let her naturally breaking wind turn them.
A very attractive lady.
Lately it's been the first one, I haven't run into the other claims for a while.
True enough, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Google less and less. It just irritates me that the company thinks it knows what I want better than I do, especially when I know that their 'summary' is artificially slanted towards whatever the company WANTS that I should believe rather than what's actually real.
Legally I'm a software engineer despite not having a degree in engineering or computer science.
Not much I can do about it. That's my job title and what I put down when I am told to provide accurate information to a government agency.
You may certainly petition the legislature of my state in order to force my employer to change their job titles. But it's out of my hands (I also do not care)
People call me as they wish, you are right. Over the years, I've been called Optical engineer, Optical scientistElectromagnetics scientist, Systems design engineer, even process chemist! Depended on what I was doing at the time. Since it is a recognition of my abilities, and meant positively, I take it as a compliment. The Process chemist thing was a little weird, a strange short part of my career.
The only place where it really "matters" is in a courtroom, where the lawyers get all atwitter about degrees in specific fields. Then the person can be an incompetent, but as long as they have the degree, they are somehow an expert.
If you thought that, you are probably American, and therefore badly educated.
In most of the world, an engineer designs engines - and/or their control systems. (Whether petrol, steam, or electric - or even hydrogen).
Oh please, more the memss of universally stoopid 'murricans. Is your hatred of us overcoming what to 99.99 percent of us see is an obvious joke?
For what it is worth the person running the train is called an engineer. For what it is worth, part of the engineer's job is operating the old coal fired engines, their power transmissions, their water consumption, and boilers
This is not dissimilar to today, where engineers are responsible for smooth and safe operation of many facilities. And as a bit of eduction even though I'm a stupid 'Murrican, Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Occasionally one of us murrican morons can edumacate those who are smarter than us.
But we cannot get our betters to have a sense of humor.
Solar has an unexpected use. End of line extensions. When there isn't enough ugga-duggas left to meet demand at the last sub-station, solar comes to the rescue.
Placing panels is so much less expensive than getting new right of ways, running new lines, maybe even moving the substation, when new housing developments and businesses need their electricity. And please people, storage batteries are no longer science fiction. There are even bolt on solutions for arrays that don't have tehm now.
Then there is wind. There are places where the wind never stops, the Allegheny Front for instance. At this point, our new wind installs are less than before. The reason? At the moment, what we have now are supplying the power we need at the moment.
especially with how tepid the results are for the money poured in, it seems much more the case that we are seeing a lot of nakedly cynical playing of the 'give us what we want, lest the chinese win' by people who are otherwise on deeply shaky ground
I'm ok with it as long as I don't have to bail it out if it fails.

A brain enema would be preferred.
