Bingo!
I've always said sailboats were superior to floating tubs with infernal combustion engines.
Next would be to outlaw overbloated pickups and rolling hotel rooms.

Next would be to outlaw overbloated pickups and rolling hotel rooms.The big pickups are just the result of government meddling in the
market place. They mandate a certain CAFE but they exempt large trucks
so the manufacturers build more trucks, where the profit is, to
subsidize the econoboxes, that barely support the price it costs to
deliver them.
The current dream is that we will embrace EVs and drive up the CAFE to
40MPG but they still haven't figured out where the electricity to
charge them will come from.
The same greenies who want solar and wind farms will fight tooth and
nail against building the transmission lines that bring that power to
where it is needed and those rights of way don't exist now.

Here in the southern states there's a good case to be made for rooftop solar combined with lithium battery banks and inverters. That requires no new transmission lines at all. I'd consider buying an electric car if they had one with either a 600 mile

Here in the southern states there's a good case to be made for rooftop
solar combined with lithium battery banks and inverters. That requires
no new transmission lines at all. I'd consider buying an electric car
if they had one with either a 600 mile range or a really fast recharge
time, maybe the time of a quick lunch.
about net metering is a great example. Folks who can afford a 5 figure installation on the roof want FPL to pay them full retail rates for
excess power and let the less fortunate fund maintaining the grid and
the administration costs. They also expect tax payer subsidies to
install their solar and pay for $8,000 of their Tesla..
You do have a point tho, without batteries, we still need the grid, particularly if we are charging EVs that will not be home when the sun
is shining.
Batteries will be about $20k if a Tesla is any indication and they
last about 8 years. Again, it is a rich person's toy subsidized by
those who can't afford it.
Do we know how insurance companies will feel about solar after the
next big one? That might be a show stopper far all but those who can
afford to just walk away from a $15-20k loss.
Many of the best wind farm sites are in rural areas where rights of way
are relatively easy to negotiate.
As for right of way space, you can't be that sanguine about that being
so easy either. Those goobers are far more likely to believe the
rumors about the dangers of power lines.
Europe, which tends to have greater population density than the United
States, is going all in on wind farms. I haven't heard of >any
transmission line issues there.
This isn't Europe. We seem to take property rights more seriously. You
are also talking about much longer transmission lines. At a certain
point I2R losses start eating into your transmission capacity. It is
no accident that generating plants are close to the users.
I am sure we will come up with an answer eventually but it is probably
not going to involve current technology, at least not at a price we
will be willing to pay.

They still have not explained how you can have several megawatts
coming down in an RF beam and not be a hazard.
In a world where a significant part of the population thinks we are
being poisoned by lots of stuff, I think this is a non-starter. Anyone
who got cancer within 100 miles of the ground station would be calling
Morgan and Morgan.

They still have not explained how you can have several megawatts
coming down in an RF beam and not be a hazard.
In a world where a significant part of the population thinks we are
being poisoned by lots of stuff, I think this is a non-starter. Anyone
who got cancer within 100 miles of the ground station would be calling
Morgan and Morgan.
Part of the problems they need to cure. ;)

This company appears to be picking up where

Yeah they just need to revise everything we know about high energy
physics.
The down link will have to be in some remote desert area like the
Trinity site, far from anyone or any protected animal that might get
fried.
OTOH if something did go wrong with the telemetry we could bake every
living thing in LA county so it isn't all bad. ;-)
