    Solar Boondoggle

    Thought solar was such a slam dunk, still has to be subsidized.

    And it only cost the productive taxpayers of Canada $160,000.00 per job.

    How does she know that it will result in 20% eficiency gains, and where are the guarantees on that?

    And last I checked, the efficiency of solar panels wasn't their main shortcoming...

        They are always "working" even when the wind doesn't blow, there is still lots of energy being converted to work. They need to rotate the blades to keep the bearings from brinelling, the lube oil still has to be pumped and heated or cooled, the electronics still need to be cooled and kept powered on. Lots of work going on...

          Couple of smaller trailers to haul the pieces out. Seen it.
