    But aren't all those models based on not doing anything (or not enough) to mitigate the problem? I do agree that the rate will slow but its because of the efforts being put into fixing/reducing the problem. Its a bit like the ozone layer hole that was a crisis a while back, solutions were put into place due to the modelling based on not doing anything. Some people on the planet need to prodded into action because they think its not affecting them then you don't have to do anything, they haven't grasped the need for forward planning yet.

    pretty much most of the solar jobs are infrastructure. why not include all the infrastructure jobs for the others as well. Is that one coal miner with a shovel or a huge digging machine that needs maintenance from a digger manufacturer who has to build the digger in the first place?

    "You seem to be laboring under the illusion that one power source has to do it all." unfortunately this is the standpoint of most detractors, they can't seem to think further than one source.

    If you want to refute that claim you'll need a table that goes beyond 2011 and is not just CO2 before you can judge

  12. looks like you'll need to investigate a local micro grid to work with your neighbours - here's an example of one in a business park https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  13. From the info i can find solar panels work better in cooler temps and snow being highly reflective also helps it perform better than in the heat, hopefully enough to go some way to combat shorter daylight hours. There are also panels out there that can heat up when snow is detected. The major problem is lack of storage, once more people have battery storage at home, it'll become less of a problem for the networks. Its still early days and these issues will eventually be ironed out.

  14. I don't expect they will use a snowplough

  15. Sounds like a great case for home storage

  16. thats why you don't put all your eggs in one way of generating power, a few turbines can add to the mix. but if you have enough storage, you can get through a few days of low generation

  17. they could probably put up a turbine or two to add some extra power generation

  18. So if the roads are being cleared of snow for use, why not clear the solar panels too? I would expect in such areas they will have thought about a plan for clearing the snow off in these circumstances.

  19. Re:Bye Theresa on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    yes but the coalition agreement made for a more stable government and it put the country before party for a change. And it helped keep the right wing tory nut jobs off camerons back, look what happened since the end of the coalition. ad hoc agreements will make the government look unstable especially to governments/businesses outside the UK.

  20. Re:Bye Theresa on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    when a coalition happens, BOTH manifestos are basically null and void because they have to create a new one for the term of government, a large swathe of the UK voting public is just too dim to understand things like a coalition and this naivety about politics has been highlighted after the last 3 voting opportunities.
