Solar Power Roi
Solar Tri-Brid System Power Output Twice That of Traditional Photovoltaic Electrical Generators
BALTIMORE -- Kalahari Greentech, Inc. released a statement today explaining the return on investment benefits of its Solar Tri-Brid System.
SOLAR -- POWER OF THREE
Solar Power Questions:
NISSAN LEAF car's...Mommy...where do the electrons from the wall socket come from?
They come from fossil fuel coal and oil burning power plants...and when Electric Cars catch on in popularity, what do you think is going to start happening to your ELECTRIC bill? Now and tomorrow...and Solar cells are great IF you own a home, and plan on staying for 20-30 years to get back the ROI, but then, will you own a LEAF for 20-30 years, and who stays in the same home for 20-30 years.
Will you also need a second car to make real road trips, or does hanging out at charging stations with kids screaming:"are we there yet?" seem appealing?
Very creative. I enjoyed the performance. Please don't be offended if we examine the suppositions and offer a creative story of our own.
The "electrons" come from many things depending upon choices that are made and will be made. In the US a majority of electricity is NOT from coal (48% and falling,) oil has always been a very small portion of production(1%.) 20% is Nuclear. 21% is natural gas...1 Electric cars are approximately 6 times as efficient as the internal combustion engine.2 The price of electricity is roughly equal to gasoline at about $4.00 per gallon but since you can go 6 times further it is more like paying $4.00/6 = 67cents per gallon for the fuel. If you do this at night the price is likely to be half so about 33 cents per gallon.3 It is true that you will not own a Leaf for 30 years as a smart consumer is going to trade it in for an even more efficient vehicle and those solar panels will be long paid off and giving you an extra income from the electric company.
So here is the bedtime story as promised: When I was little children we used to have places called gas stations. When the supplies of gasoline were not enough you had to go there and wait in long lines for the fuel that was getting more and more expensive.4 "But mommy, could the little children have fun filling up the car with gasoline like we do putting the induction paddles in our own garage?" No children, it was too dangerous for children to do. Even sometimes adults would set fires by talking on their cell phones when pumping gasoline.5 "Mommy, did people like going to gas stations?" No children, the restrooms were scary, the gasoline smelled funny and even the snacks were always some kind of junk food. Now we don't have to make any special trips because the car charges while we sleep at our home. When we go on our trips we stop at restaurants and stores where they charge our car for free in their parking lots. Mommy, I am glad we don't have one of those cars that need a gas station.
