  1. You need to look into perpetual motion. It is a very big energy saver.

  2. And to prolong battery life you don't want to go much below 50% charge. So 30% of nameplate range. In the summer. Chicago winters will have less range. Due to the cabin heaters, window defrosters, etc.

  3. There are losses even with DC. Converting the generated voltages to a voltage the Hydrogen generators require.

  4.  @fablearchitect7645  Regular and easily controllable output. Vs intermittent and seasonable. BTW the amount of mining for wind turbines and the necessary batteries is not mentioned.

  5.  @paulpinecone2464  If we make the rotating mass larger it will solve a lot of problems. Rotating a larger rotating mass will increase gyroscopic forces. Very handy when you want to increase the bearing loading and the amount of material in the support structure. It is good to see the kind refutation you provide.

  6. Water availability is not a problem.

  7.  @jimhigens5464  Not familiar with Beers Law are you. If water vapor is doing 99.99% of the absorbing adding CO2 isn't going to do much. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

  8. To stop global warming you have to take water vapor out of the atmosphere. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

  9.  @paulpinecone2464  I don't know of any uses for electron scrapings.

  10.  @fablearchitect7645  Here is what I said to you: @fablearchitect7645 Regular and easily controllable output. Vs intermittent and seasonable. BTW the amount of mining for wind turbines and the necessary batteries is not mentioned. ==== BTW if you want gas turbines to respond like inverters - add inverters to turbines. It might lower costs or improve performance enough to be worth it. Wind is still intermittent and seasonable. I have made some money from power engineering - Naval Nukes to aircraft generators.

  11. To reverse the crisis Water vapor needs to be removed from the atmosphere. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

  12. The power plant size required greatly centralizes energy production.

  13. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

  14. If you studied water vapor light absorption vs CO2 you would know global warming was a hoax. Water vapor is 100 times as prevalent as CO2.

  15. Other than the daily intermittency. And clouds.

  16. As long as China keeps building a coal plant a week what the US does is insignificant.

  17. Yes. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

  18. Exact Frequency grid operation is more important for clocks than for grid operation. The grid easily tolerates 1 part in 1,000 variation. People like their clock variations to be on the order of 1 part in 100,000 - about 1 second a day.

  19. The high peak to average ratio of renewables (zero solar at night - all night) causes large problems in grid design.
