Where's the integrity or do we all...
just side with our pocket books,
I think there is a lot of intellegent people out there who value ethics in argument, one being the truth is based on facts, whether it personally benifits the individual or not.
Have you seen the latest greatest offshore windfarm?
The power it supplies, if using a straight line economics, as the proposal states, using today's prices (not factoring in any maintenance or repairs, monitering or managment...the proposal doesn't state)
- the design & manufacturing with site approvals, construction and connection to the grid won't pay for itself for almost 130 years . (lifespan?)........
If it can't generate enough power to justify it's own construction & up-keep. Why or how would this ever get built ?
This is why it requires a HUGE underwriting by the government.
So which part of this is Amoral again. (hummmm, it costs more than it's own projected lifespan of production will produce....?)
If you want to have a intellegent conversation about offshore electrical generation we should start a conversation about tidal driven power generation.
Sorry about your pocket book but wind hasn't been able to pay for it's own deconstruction after it was proven non-sustainable last time, for reference you should see the Altuna eyesore..... (kinda looks a little like Greece economically speaking).
Is my thinking flawed or is there some "mystic" justification for ignoring economic factors in the green energy sphere-a-scope to somehow shift the subject to another topic and never complete the equation.
No matter what the better idea is - doesn't it have to be self-sustaining ?
Moreover, wouldn't that be consistant and inherent with all sustainability conversations?
Does this movement seem to be content with the one legged stool discussion-(.... can't stand on it's own),
Does this present a intelectual challenge to anyone else, especally if there is such a thing as morality that includes - earth, enegry or sustainability ?
