Anyone following this thread please not how Rand chickened out whe he
realized his mistake about unit time. Will he come back and admit it?

I made no such mistake, you moron.

Yes, you did and aren't man enough to admit it.

Agreed!!!

Worse than that! Mosley either kisses your ass or killfiles you, there
is no in between. If your a celebrity, astronaut, etc. he'll fall all
over himself trying to impress you, anyone else is scum...

Real nice fellow this Mosley and to think he's the Third, or is that
'turd'?

On Tue, 8 Jan 2008 11:02:36 -0000, in a place far, far away, "Michael
Martin-Smith" made the phosphor on
my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

A view of space.com's solar section is quite revealing; it appears that 58%
of Chinese are prepared to replace their domestic heating boilers with solar
systems when their old ones expire, and that China is mass producing such
solar boilers at a growth rate of +25-30% per year, and developing cheap
mass produced solar voltaics.

It is ironic that China should be set to outcompete the capitalist West by
supplying solar water heating systems at prices affordable to millions of
their population. Be sure they will also be exported in millions soon
enough.

Why on Earth can the capitalist West's environmentalists not stop talking
about rationing, carbon taxes, and restrictive regulation and get on with
building solar water systems at $1,000 fitted per house and photovoltaics
at $1,000 per installed kilowatt/hour.

As someone who has looked into such systems in south Florida, it would
only be possible to get to such prices currently by importing free
Chinese labor. And your $1000/kilowatt/hr makes no physical sense.
The figure of merit is dollars per watt or kilowatt (not even sure
what you mean by kilowatt/hr).

After spending the past 15 years looking at PV costs, I can say we
went through the following incarnations;

(1) PV cost is too high - use Concentrating PV (CPV) to lower these
costs
(2) Optics costs are too high - use molded PET to form water cavities
(3) Cooling costs are too high - focus light INSIDE water cavity and
insert CPV die there
(4) Tracking costs are too high - use holographic lens array in focal
plane of fisheye lens
(5) Installation costs are too high - wire up 2,200 panels at a time
with 4 field connections per acre
(6) Land costs are too high - reclaim spent surface mines and get
paid for the land and for reshaping it

Unfortunately, all of that has been more than doable for the past
decade, and yet there's still not one m3 of Willie H2 to behold, much
less made cheap enough to get your CATS even close to what China is
currently doing and improving on.

Are you sure you still believe in our method of government, and of
it's faith-based puppeteers of big-energy profits at all cost and w/o
remorse, that seldom if ever tell the truth, and much less willing to
share our hard earned loot with the warm and fuzzy likes of William
Mook?
