Re: Senate passes bill approving Keystone XL oil pipeline Associated Press By DINA CA
Your concern about the birds is noted. :roll: If that's our biggest worry, we need to eradicate cats. Solar kills perhaps 28,000 birds per year. Cats kill at least 1,400,000,000 per year and perhaps as many as 3,700,000,000 per year. The neighbors cat hunts birds visiting my feeders every day. Poor cardinals and chickadees....
And solar is already "competitive" but it's not a substitute for gas or coal. Do you think it will take "centuries" to figure out the storage?
Neat photo. That's the solar station that commercial pilots complain about for blinding them if they get within 200 miles of it. It is also frying thousands of birds that get near it, including many endangered species.
Solar will ill never be competitive until an economiCal storage method is developed.
