The National Renewable Energy Lab has already crteaed an application to do pretty much what you’re looking for. It’s called pvwatts, and is linked below.What you do is click on the map for the city nearest you, then enter the size of your proposed array, it’s tilt, and orientation. You’ll get a month-by-month printout of the expected energy output. This is based on historical measurements over almost 40 years, so takes into account local climate, such as fog, rain, and altitude.If there is no reference city near you, you can still use another version of the program to do predictions for an arbitrary location.

]]> Comment on Citizens Oppose Comanche Peak Expansion before Atomic Safety and Licensing Board by Leia http://texasvox.org/2009/06/09/citizens-oppose-comanche-peak-expansion-before-atomic-safety-and-licensing-board/#comment-17148 Tue, 22 May 2012 03:37:19 +0000 http://texasvox.org/?p=3817#comment-17148 Photovoltaic cells are one element of the engrey equation. The technology is, however, suffering from an inability to be scaled to commercially viable levels in a cost effective way. Commercial solar may well also be restricted by NIMBY-type regulation delays that further reduce commercial potential.Government’s role should be in assisting in the research needed to turn the technology from promising theoretical to practical solution and to keep the regulatory/licensing nightmares from halting projects for decades.

Thanks for ptsniog it on the old blog. And can I say, the view is lovely! You’re such a professional!I took a wonderful class form a HMB author (medicals) and she starts with a VERY simple list of external conflict, internal conflict, and a one sentence premise that essentially is the heart of their conflict. And she writes her ENTIRE book from that. Which I think is brilliant, because you’re starting with the ever so important backbone of the book, the internal conflict, and writing out, so to speak. Instead of the way I’d been doing it which is starting on the outside and meandering for a while until I finally find what the heart of the story. Amy

The concept is fine — whether it can be accomplished at scale and whether the geology is right in every coal-burning region for storage with no leakage is another question. Given that, making CCS the core of our climate policy is risky.Electric cars + coal needs to be far more efficient than ICEs to reduce carbon emissions at a time the economy is growing (in China).

We’re combing it with wind turbines (as we are in a windy area and that might be the better choice for power supply in the long run Time will tell.

This would be possible be incorporating a vertical design, with tanks contained underground. This solution would also eliminate noise and odor concerns.

A similar sized water recycling facility was built in Santa Paula CA on just over an acre of land.

]]> Comment on NOAA says last 12 months are warmest on record . . . and Texas helped. by Anonomous http://texasvox.org/2012/05/08/noaa-says-last-12-months-are-warmest-on-record-and-texas-helped/#comment-17114 Wed, 09 May 2012 05:36:30 +0000 http://texasvox.org/?p=15147#comment-17114 No surprise to me–there is a little known effect that is going on. The production, processing, and eventual burning of that “clean natural gas” is increasing our air volume, which can cause unusual climate effects. I published a paper in Test Magazine last year.
