On the one hand, I think community involvement in energy generation is a good thing. On the other hand, these projects are made financially viable via subsidies added to everyone's energy bills. Indeed, project documentation makes clear that their efforts are only made financially viable via the feed-in tariff. <a href="http://energyinstalls.co.uk/why-you-should-get-free-solar-panels-in-bristol/" rel="nofollow">Bristol Cost of Solar Panels</a>Richard C.

Peak demand is most likely to occur on a cold winter evening, at which point solar will be of no use at all.

Communism by it's very nature is anti logic and it usually ends up feathering the beds of the elites. Indeed, the EU/western style communism, is doing very nicely thank you - the political elite in bed with the corporate paymasters - I mean what's not to like and if I were a betting type - I'd surmise most of the Balcombe residentzia - most of the majority are retirees from the bureaucratic Nomenklatura and corporate............insurance, banking sector et al.

I...I also like comparisons with renewables output. In 2013, we had 16.5 TWh of onshore wind, 10.9TWh of offshore wind and an alleged 2 TWh of PV solar. Dividing by 8,760 hours in a year, that's 1.88GW of onshore wind, 1.24GW of offshore, and 0.23GW of solar on average through the year. Drax power station produced 27.1 TWh in 2012 (and 26.2TWh in 2013 as it increased its woodchip burn) - basically as much as ALL the windfarms, both onshore and offshore.<br /><br />Put in terms of oil equivalent (using GCV of 42MJ/kg, 7.5bbl/tonne) we get 29,000 b/d for onshore wind, 19,000 b/d for offshore wind, and 3,500 b/d for solar - 51,500b/d altogether, or just over 2.5 mtoe p.a. Wytch Farm alone has produced over 60 mtoe so far - probably more than the lifetime output from all these windfarms and solar panels.It doesn't add up...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811591306049850735.post-81505068603440548462014-04-04T06:30:51.138-07:002014-04-04T06:30:51.138-07:00Excellent post!

It is this sort of reality which is missing from most of the debate about energy, etc..<br />There is one key element needed to make the comparison complete: how to address the intermittancy of solar? Some form of energy storage will be needed to harvest the solar output and make it available overnight and on dull, rainy days. As the viable technology for large-scale storage (Pumped hydro) is not available in areas like Balcombe, maybe each house will have its own chunky battery-pack?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414727412709149467noreply@blogger.com
