I dont find any of it amusing
These solar panels force to consider a 17.5" wide pot belly stove burning coal right in front and only a couple feet away from a 125gallon gasoline tank right beneath the fiberglass. That configuration could blow me to kingdom come.
I am just going to get a deep cycle battery and a 200watt heat ceramic fan.
I give upComment

it might be here already, some images of floating solar panels here..

Japan is probably the country with most floating solar arrays because of limited open real estate. But even using all of those lakes and ponds will only get them a very small percentage of power used.
If you look at the South-West US desert area you will see many giant solar arrays being built or already in operation. Still even with the 100's of MW solar arrays in that area it provides less than 1% of the power used in this country. When you talk about providing power to cover 50% of the needs, the amount of land with good sun insolation is mostly in the desert which is 1000's of miles away from the users on the East coast. That requires some pretty big extension cords across the country.
It still comes down to the amount of real estate required for a electrical generating plant. For a 600MW fossil fuel or nuclear generating plant you only need about 100 acres, A 600MW solar array would require 1000's of acres.Comment

some are on the ocean.. like this one stuck out in the tropical indian ocean http://www.solarpowertoday.com.au/bl...-the-maldives/Comment

Off shore wind farms are very efficient and cost less to build then solar arrays. One turbine can provide 3MW of electricity and take up less space then a solar array as well as survive the harsh weather.
Big trouble in the US is the "people" that live near the coast don't want to see those windmills and have put up many roadblocks to getting them built. Seems stupid to me when one of the islands off of Maine get all their power from diesel generators which is very expensive yet don't want wind turbines in the water within site of their homes even though their electric rates will be cut more than half.Comment

not bird baths. They need to be placed away from people altogether. There are
dozens of very detrimental effects from them that aren't obvious at first glance.
Plenty of documentation now. I'd better not get started. Bruce RoeComment

Its not just the coast people. Those wind turbines are gigantic industrial machines,
not bird baths. They need to be placed away from people altogether. There are

I know of the earlier designs had some problems but IMO wind turbines causing detrimental health effects now falls into the same category as cancer from cell phone usage and HV power lines.
A person has a better chance of getting sick by eating processed food or abusing pharmaceuticals.
Then again you do have to watch out for them microwave ovens.Comment

Two things anyone will quickly notice when in or around a Wind Farm. It is very loud, and dead birds and insects littler the landscape. You sure cannot say there are no health effects to the birds and insects. But then again I do not care. Not something I can control.MSEE, PEComment
