Andrew Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sounds good. Better to try and fail and learn from mistakes than to not do it at all.Just like the wind farms California put up in the 1980s are now considered out of date and very inefficient. Altamont Pass Wind FarmTehachapi Pass Wind FarmSan Gorgonio Pass Wind FarmWind power where I am is apparently very profitable. So profitable that they are willing to put up wind turbines and then transfer the power over 700km into the eastern US seaboard (boston/new york). I still don't understand why they don't sell the electricity here. I guess the gov is giving handouts causing this tragedy of the commons. Even spending millions on new transmission lines to get the power out of province. Which the residents will pay for even though they will not be receiving any of the power.

Digital Guerrilla Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 California is one of the best places to have such a facility. I am interested to see what can be done on the East coast of the US, although it might not be anything solar powered on such a scale as this project.

Now I wonder if other energy projects are in the working for the Eastern States of America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
