The key problem with Yucca is scientific misconduct with data fabrication that taints the site beyond recall. Once the USGS scientists engaged in that, there is no clear way to understand what else may have been compromised. http://www.senaahq.bravehost.c...
Ah, you are innumerate. The T in TWH stands for tera, 1000 times (that means multiplication) the G in GWH which is how many write gigawatt hours, which is what you asked about.
As pointed out by James Hansen in his book "Storms of my Grandchildren" it would take a small factory dumping chloroflorcarbons into the atmosphere to prevent the next ice age. It is trivial.
Depends on where you live. In China your vote probably does not do much. In the US, voting for President Obama has set in place a climate policy to cut emissions 83% by 2050. In Canada, there will be an opportunity to pull the country out of climate rogue status coming up. Australia fluctuates based on voting. In Germany, you can vote, but the direction they are taking is already pretty settled. In India, the new PM Narendra Modi has written a book about climate change called "Convenient Action: Gujarat’s Response to Challenges of Climate Change" http://www.narendramodi.in/con...
"Possible permanent changes include the melting of the ice sheet covering Greenland. That would boost sea levels by as much as 7 meters (23 feet) and threaten coastal cities from Miami to Bangkok along with island nations such as the Maldives, Kiribati and Tuvalu.
The scientists said they have “medium confidence” that warming of less than 4 degrees Celsius would be enough to trigger such a melt, which would take at least a millennium.
Other effects the report flags include reduced food security as production of crops such as wheat, rice and maize in the tropics is damaged, melting of Arctic sea ice, and acidification of the oceans."
Irreversible is sometimes like trying to unscramble eggs. Loss of the Greenland ice sheet is like that because rebuilding it would take an ice age owing to the loss of altitude upon melting. We're not going to allow another ice age.
“Without additional mitigation, and even with adaptation, warming by the end of the 21st century will lead to high to very high risk of severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts globally,” the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in the draft.
You must hate the governator. About 2.2 GW installed so about 4 TWH annual production. Looks like that more than covers lost hydro. http://californiasolarstatisti... Hasta la vista, baby.

When you understand the math, you'll understand that you are mistaken.
Not at all.
Wrongly so however. http://www.rmi.org/Knowledge-C...
Correct, and because of solar, it does not need to produce in daylight. Great save by solar.

Leaving it alone is accomplished through the demise of our decedents.....
Most likely 110% since 1950. http://www.realclimate.org/ind...

Do it in the face of a Republican Congressional Aide.
Is that you Judith?
I was reaching for revolutionary opinions but could only get the benign shelf....
Ah, you one of those kill all the humans types: "just by leaving it alone and waiting long enough." So, who is going to do the waiting around?
Really? http://www.engineering.com/Ele...
RealClimate is an expert site. That is where you will find reliable information.

The report is getting slammed by sloppy thinkers. Judith Curry's conceptual difficulties are detailed here: http://www.realclimate.org/ind...
Like I say, you don't do math even when it Has been done for you. Don't ask quantitative questions if you don;'t want quantitative answers.
That is what hydro is for.

A million solar roofs baby!
