Renewable Energy
Doesn't looks like there's a thread devoted to this particular topic yet, if there is one I missed feel free to merge this. Anyway, to kick things off:

‘Record’ petition against Spanish tax on solar self-consumption and storage
In less than a week, more than 180,000 Spanish citizens have signed a petition against plans for a new ‘sun tax’ on use of batteries for residential self-consumption of solar energy in Spain.
Meanwhile more than 150,000 citizens signed a petition calling for the immediate resignation of José Manuel Soria, the minister of industry, energy and tourism, whose department put forward the draft law. The new tax could increase payback time for solar-plus-storage owners from around 16 years to 31 years. Hefty fines for infringement, capped at €60 million (US$67.7 million), had also been proposed, which is double the fine for releasing nuclear waste. The tax applies to grid-connected solar PV installations of up to 15kW. Depending on the size of the installation, the fee would be from €8.9 (US$10) per kilowatt for domestic consumers up to €36 (US$40.6) per kW for medium size businesses. José Donoso general director of the Spanish PV association, Union Espanola Foltovoltaico (UNEF), told PV Tech that more than 35,000 comments against the minister were presented. He said the government internet server crashed several times under the number of signatures and comments. He also said the petition had "record" numbers in such a short time. Waiting for the ministry to make a decision, Donoso said: “We will see if the rules will change, or only cosmetic change, or nothing.” A statement on Avaaz, the online platform for the petition, said: “The Ministry of Industry is working around the clock to protect the powerful electric oligopoly imposing new barriers to economically asphyxiate those citizens who wish to produce their own electricity using solar energy. Let us unite to prevent this shameful [sun tax]”. http://www.pv-tech.org/news/record_p...ors_picks=true

Poland to ban wind farms near schools, wind lobby panics
Poland’s governing Law and Justice Party plans to require new wind turbines be built a mile away from homes and schools, citing concerns about rising electricity bills, reducing costly green energy subsidies, aesthetics and health issues.
Poland installed more wind turbines in 2015 than any other European country except Germany. The sheer number of turbines has created a domestic political backlash against them. “There’s a number of reasons our country isn’t run by wind,” Dan Kish, the senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Where people are familiar with wind power, they tend to develop contempt for it fairly rapidly. Wind turbines are not aesthetically desirable and make no sense from an economic perspective. It only makes sense to politicians who take checks from green energy companies. It ain’t all its cracked up to be.” Naturally, wind lobbyists in Poland are panicking about the potential law. Poland’s plans “will tie projects up in red tape and make life difficult for developers by imposing arbitrary rules that serve no other purpose than to prevent wind turbine deployment,” Oliver Joy, a spokesman for the European Wind Energy Association, told Bloomberg. Even in comparatively progressive places like Vermont or the United Kingdom, wind farms tend to be aggressive opposed by local residents. One of most common complaints about wind turbines by local residents is that they cause “flickering” when the sun is behind their blades. This is generally agreed to be incredibly annoying and there’s evidence that it can cause headaches, sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms in people who live nearby. read full article at source: http://www.cfact.org/2016/03/04/pola...-lobby-panics/

There are a range of problems with the lefty/greens renewable energy crap
1 Wind turbines only create power when the turbines are spinning, no wind = no power generated 2 Solar, needs light, does not generate power at night Until we can come up with something that can provide the guaranteed 24/7 power that coal or nuclear generators can provide than talk of renewable is just talk |

The green energy faggots want to ban cheaper forms of energy like coal and replace it with methods that can't generate as much energy for as low of a price. My electric bill has nearly tripled in the last 8 years because of all the anti-coal bullshit.
Ironically, most of these green energy faggots also happen to be animal rights activists, yet these giant wind turbines are meat grinders for birds. They don't seem to care about the later. But I never implied these people had a fucking brain to begin with.

A question was put to the greens during one of their anti coal rants....at night during summer when there is no wind or light, how do you expect to power your air conditioner when its nearly 40c during the day and still high 20 or low 30 at say 9 pm when everyone has their air con on as well as provide energy for everything else, they had no answer Shutting down the Latrobe Vally mines/generators would mean that those green idiots would not even be able to recharge their phones and laptops yet they seem incapable of understanding that |
