small scale solar like this is quite inefficient compared to grid-scale stations.

grid-scale generation is much more effective, both in cost and generation efficiency.

Can you explain a bit better on the magnitude of these differences and why they exist? Thx

Look for "Portugal: How much of the country’s electricity comes from renewables?" in the bottom quarter.

Is it hard to believe or have you not thought about it hard enough?

I'll take your word. Thanks

Except your comment and the post seem to exist in different frames of reference.

Great post! Thanks for this.

Thanks! And that is a very fair point.

I'm not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?

 

Researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.

The commentary-paper Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.

Yes. And obviously Hillary would landslide this buffoon

 

A lot of people point to trains efficiency as a way forward to minimize the environmental impact of the transportation sector. But are trains and railroad solarpunkable? Or is it just another "all eggs in the same basket" industry?
