Your Questions About Solar Energy Facts

What would damage liberals more: electing a pretty liberal Republican, or a super far left Democrat?

McCain bought into the whole Global Warming and ANWAR BS, and he is their greatest ally on Illegal Immigration. I even saw him at a photo op with another liberal Republican (Schwartzenegger) at a solar energy plant. With the exception of Iraq, isn’t he going to give them everything they want, and the Republicans are going to be blamed for the mess in 4 years when our country is overflowing with illegals and gas is 5 bucks a gallon because we can’t even pump our own damn oil?

How can you travel through the Sun ?

I have read some online books about heat shielding, the suns temp runs at roughly 15,000,000 degrees Kelvin in the centre. These are estimates as nothing has entered the sun or made it to the centre,
it’s guess work but if it could be traversed perhaps we could learn more from it. What if a vehicle could be built with a large mass of heat shielding to protect it obviosly radiation would be a factor as would heat, distance, pressure etc. I know the facts that we so called “know”, but until you actually go there you can’t study somthing unless your there. They could study mars from miles away in space but they still landed so why not our sun ? Being that if we could harness just the smallest part of that energy we would never need any other form of energy. I am aware of solar energy and nuclear power being that the sun uses two isotopes of hydrogen (tritium and deuterium). Any ideas would be appricated.

Sandra asks…

Would this be a good way to fight Global Warming at the grassroots level?

Specifically, sending an email to Steven Jobs informing him that you won’t buy any more iPods until he makes a solar powered version available.

Discussion: One of the two obstacles that solar energy has in replacing fossil fuel on a large scale is the high cost and inefficiency of solar PV cells, the devices that convert sunlight (or any light) directly into electricity. It’s going to take somebody with some vision, imagination and most importantly money to make PV cells cheap enough for evey Joe and Mary Sixpack to mount them on their roof and totally disconnect their homes from the fossil fuel power grid. Congress has the money, but since it is essentially split 50-50 these days, any Federal money is going to be spent where the most readily harvestable votes are, namely in farming states where the ethanol boom is already underway.

Its true that iPods only consume a negligible amount of energy, but that would actually make it easier to reach the goal of producing a 99.99% “green” iPod that doesn’t require recharging from an inefficient recharger on the wall thats being energized by a fossil fuel power plant somewhere. Buyers of next generation iPods would be a perfect market for such a device, and once its successful, Microsoft will of course want to play “me too” and compete with Apple in the same market, pushing along the drive to reduce manufacturing costs and increase PV cell performance.

So here’s a chance for the current Disposable Income generation to be at the forefront of the Global Warming fight and with little sacrifice on their part.

Your Questions About Solar Energy Generators For Sale

Sandra asks…

global warming? does anybody have the common knowledge to see that global warming is natural?

Do you suppose that man made Global Warming? Well, you shouldn’t!
Why?
You don’t have to encompass an elevated thinking ability to see through the propaganda. Here’s how to figure out the truth for yourself:
1. Have you looked at your personal outside thermometer? Records are low and snow storms thrive.
2. Seventh grade physics show that CO2’s molecular mass makes it exceedingly heavy, thus fore; it can’t lift high enough to cause the greenhouse effect.
Yes, there is a greenhouse effect, except it’s mostly caused by water vapor! H2O is, to a great extent, lighter than CO2.
3. University freshman statistics will show you that the miscalculation rate in temperature samples used is greater than the claimed temperature increase.
4. Glaciers in Greenland have recently been shown to be getting thicker, not thinner. Same with Antarctic ice, which is never mentioned by warming alarmists.
5. The stories of polar bears declining are deceit, according to our government’s own statistics.
6. CO2 is plant food! When the earth was adolescent, there was awfully diminutive oxygen. It was lethal to the minority life forms here (primeval micro-organisms as well as plants). It amplified to today’s levels partially as exhaust from vegetation and, to a magnitude, from a few “visiting” comets
7. Reimbursement of forests happens only where government owns the forest. Clandestine tenure of forests results in recurring growing and cutting. They don’t waste the economic assessment of their own land! Take a glance toward the massive forests in Georgia and Florida, owned by Weyerhaeuser & other lumber companies.
8. Sunspot activity is in a cycle in which it reduces warming radiation from the sun. This is essentially causing a cooling cycle.
9. What about recent record cold temperatures and snow storms?
10. Why is it that the big scares always mean big profits for companies connected to governments? E.g. GE owns NBC, which is scaring us. But GE makes big dollars from sales of generators, nuclear, windmills and solar to governments.
11. Those who want US to completely change our lives are immune. Think this, How about Al Gore making his millions – driving his SUVs, owning several energy inefficient HOMES, that’s plural. He tells us to stop using gas, while he is private-jetting around to give big money speeches?
12. We’re supposed to forget similar false fears. Many of the same companies made big money off the “ozone layer” scam. Remember that one? It has also proven false. But, the media which scared us about it has remained silent. Instead, they come up with a new scary theory.
13. About 7 years ago, the same government-connected scientists and insiders were trying to scare us with the coming ice age. Remember that?
14. Volcanoes and the ocean are by FAR larger sources of CO2 and other “greenhouse” gases. Many, many, many multiples of the amounts we exhaust.
15. NASA was actually caught faking “warming” data. They simply copied September temperatures and submitted the same figures for October. They then claimed October was the hottest it’s been in decades.
ok kid. first answerer, your an idoitic hippie arent you? People are not responsible for Climate change we produce 1/10th of 1% of Greenhouse gasses.
Who is at fault Its called the sun and earth….
We have gone through several ice ages and warming periods.
Al Gore is the greatest con artist and makes a fortune off of these carbon credits his companies sell. This Global warming lie he has created. You notice it’s no longer called Global warming but Global Climate change since it has been cooling over the last 20 years. But global warming ended 10 years ago at the peak of the last solar cycle. And it switched to global cooling 3 years ago when the sun shut down all major activity and went into the coolest mode ever scientifically documented. Up until 1998 the world was receiving a slightly above normal amount of power from the sun causing the planet to warm slightly. Since the sun went into standby mode 3 years ago all the planets are cooling off.
Record cold and record snowfall across North Amerca and the world this year. The melting ice we hear so much about from liberals, hippies and other kooks have almost completely refrozen to the original state. After record 11 foot snowfall last year in the northeast and New Year’s snow in Florida this year as part of a record cold year…..once again the global warming idiots are exposed in their hoax.

” According to the US National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the average temperature of the global land surface in January 2008 was below the 20th century mean (-0.02°F/-0.01°C) for the first time since 1982. Temperatures were also colder than average across large swathes of central Asia, the Middle East, the western US, western Alaska and south-eastern China.
For the contiguous United States, the average temperature was 30.5°F (-0.83°C) for January, which was 0.3°F (0.2°C) below the 20th century mean and the 49th coolest January on record, based on preliminary data’. SUCK IT HIPPIES!!!
kids, just research these facts. they’re all true. “just a mistake”??! come on! its the government!

Got any suggestions, wacky or otherwise, for topping up the battery of electric cars?

You may have heard recently in the news about the governments plan to boost electric car sales by offering subsidies of upto £5K for electric or plug-in cars ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8001254.stm ). One of the problems with electric cars is how to top-up the battery without excessive down-time (ie periods where you can’t drive the car). Have you any suggestions, wacky or otherwise, for how to do this?

My own suggestion is to divert some airflow through tubes that run the length of the car (maybe even avoiding the passenger compartment!), with miniature wind-turbines inside that help recharge the battery.
>There wouldn’t be near enough power >generated from that small amount of wind to >make any noticeable difference. Seriously.

Ever tried trying to open the door of your car when it’s traveling at 30mph or more? You might discover that the ‘wind’ is not that small!
>It would require MORE energy to move the car >and you will get less energy from the turbines >due to irreversibility’s.

Irreversibility’s of what?
>You can’t get something for nothing. The car’s motor is what is making the wind you feel. If you put a turbine out the window or in a tube or whatever, you would make less energy than you use to make the wind to turn it with (friction, less than 100% efficiency…).

I agree you can’t get something for nothing. The idea of the tubes would be to take some airflow that would have otherwise been acting to slow the car (through friction of airflow, or drag), and to instead partially convert it to electricity (via the miniature wind-turbines). I wouldn’t stick the wind-turbines out the window!
>How about putting a dynamo into the passenger side window winder. Whilst driving along the passenger can repeatedly wind the window up and down to generate electricity to help top up the batteries. This would also dramatically cut down on friends who wanted to ponce a lift somewhere as well. heeeeheeeheee.

Good idea, but with some minor problems:
Extra drag whilst the window is in the open position.
Your passenger may develop RSI.
Your passenger may develop bigger arm muscles to thump you with!
>can it run on feces?
If you could bear the stench!
