Hi all... Airforceone actually posted a pretty good topic for discussion... Except it was full of derogatory remarks that would not promote discussion... So I cleaned it up in the hopes of seeing some civil discussion...
I give full credit to Airforceone for the research and ideas presented... And hope that he will join us in civil discourse on an excellent topic..
So let’s actually debate renewables on its own and leave c*****e c****e out of the subject and take a look at renewables from a health issue and what it would do for our economy.
Solar and wind power are creating jobs at a rate 12 times faster than that of the rest of the US economy.
The renewable energy sector has seen rapid rapid growth over recent years, driven by reduction in manufacturing and installation costs. Jobs are growing at a rate of 20% per year. There are 4.5 million jobs in renewables which is up from 3.4 million in 2011.
Now compared to f****l f**l technologies which are typically mechanized and capital intensive, the renewable energy industry is more labor intensive. More jobs are created for each unit of electricity generated from renewable sources than from f****l f**ls.
(IMPROVES PUBLIC HEALTH)
Air and water pollution emitted by coal, natural gas, fuel, is linked with breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, cancer and a host of other serious problems. Estimated cost to the public health $74.6 billion a year.
(INEXHAUSTIBLE ENERGY)
We will not run out of strong winds, sunny skies and fast moving water.
(STABLE ENERGY PRICES)
Renewable energy is providing affordable electricity across the country right now and can help stabilize energy prices.
Although renewable facilities require an up front investment to build they operate at a low cost because the fuel is free.
Renewable energy technology cost have declined steadily. Example the average cost to install solar dropped more than 70% between 2010 and 2017, wind dropped 66%. Cost are expected to drop even further.
F****l f**l prices vary dramatically and are prone to substantial price swings. No price swings with renewables; the fuel is free.
The US now has 500 wind power manufacting facilities that support 50,000 jobs just in manufacturing and over 600,000 jobs total. Solar has a total of 347,000 jobs now and that has doubled in number since 2012 and now has over 10,000 companies that generate $17 billion to our economy.
As the industry continues its rapid growth the demand will accelerate for massive job creation.
According to a 2008 analysis by the Renewable Energy laboratory to power the US with solar is about 0.6% of the US land mass.
The Jobs analysis provided by AltEnergy stocks which found 5.3 jobs per $1 million for f****l f**l investments versus renewables 16.7 jobs per $1 million. If Americans would drop their love for f****l f**l and were all in on utilizing free fuel to generate electricity it would create an economic boom in this country like non other in our history.
Solar workforce in 2017 increased by 25% wind increased by 32%. How many jobs created in the coal industry versus renewables.
Just think about the health risk from breathing in this garbage and the water we drink, polluting our oceans, and forget about c*****e c****e.
It’s estimated that by 2050 most of the world will be powered by renewables.
Hope everyone can enjoy this topic and remain civil...
