  1. But......as in your original assertion still more expensive than fossil fuels. Did you forget? Try upping the Adderall.
  2. Expensive batteries and your seemingly non-existent pumping stations which would be net energy users and therefore not viable as cheap energy sources.. ........and........ Your original assertion that renewable energy was cheaper than fossil fuels. Which again it is not without subsidies. Do try to keep up with your Porky Pies.
  3. Pumping from where to where? Sun and wind were never mentioned. Lots more Porky Pie.
  4. Absolutely, come and join us, it's fun. Well you do have an odd concept of "up".
  5. Yup $18k for one battery? You said cheaper than fossil fuels. The round-trip efficiency of PSH varies between 70% and 80%. Although the losses of the pumping process make the plant a net consumer of energy overall, the system increases revenue by selling more electricity during periods of peak demand, when electricity prices are highest. If the upper lake collects significant rainfall, or is fed by a river, then the plant may be a net energy producer in the manner of a traditional hydroelectric plant. Next
  6. We need subsidies.... Why..... Well haven't you noticed it goes dark at night and the wind doesn't always blow.
  7. Which require government subsidies. In the United States, new Treasury Department figures show that subsidies for wind and solar dwarf all other energy-related provisions in the tax code, costing $31.4 billion in 2024, and are expected to cost taxpayers $421 billion more between 2025 and 2034 based on the subsidies in the Biden-Harris climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act. The 10-year cost of federal tax expenditures for wind and solar has increased 21-fold since 2015. Federal tax expenditures for the investment tax credit (ITC) and production tax credit (PTC), which are the primary drivers behind the deployment of wind and solar energy, are, by far, the most expensive energy-related provisions in the federal tax code. Between 2025 and 2034, the ITC and PTC will account for more than half of all energy-related tax provisions. That total does not include the tax credits for electric vehicles, which amounted to $14 billion in 2024 and are expected to cost $105.7 billion between 2025 and 2034. So much more expensive. Porky Pie.
  8. I said short lived 'attempt', Iran at the that time was more a monarchy.
  9. Canada West Mandarin, East Punjabi. The rest of us have a way of speaking.
  10. So why does/did Iran have/need centrifuges, were they/are they being used to make cotton candy enough to pacify all 72 virgins?
  11. No, just remove the playground. Why are you supporting Iran?
  12. Which episode of Star Wars did you write the script for?
