re: #692 Walter L. Newton

I dare you to find a quote of me saying that? You can’t and you know it.

Well if you insist from your #550 on the previous thread:

The technology is not viable enough yet. There is no stand alone renewable source that will enable someone to be totally independent of the “grid.”

At the NAtional Renewable Energy Lab where I worked, they have been working almost 35 years on renewable technology, and most every scientist there will tell you, big advances have been made, but we are far from the day when all the renewable sources will supply any where near our current needs.

The laboratory has transfered technology to private industry for years, most of the time free. If there was anything out there affordable for the common Joe and Jane, private industry would have already jumped on it and you would be seeing infomercials daily.

If solar and turbines were the answer, or even near the answers, after almost 40 years of scientific research, we would be much closer to the answers.

We are not. It’s still in the future.

Hmmm that would seem to be a pretty strong statement that the technology to make viable solar homes off the grid or to deploy wind power is not possible.

It is not just that you lie about what you say, but that you lie so stupidly.

I mean that strikes me as an inability to see reality…
