Energy Lecture for the Week: Solar Power and Electricity Due to the naturally occurring high pressure systems in Arizona and New Mexico there is less cloud cover. I wonder why Arizona wasn't mentioned, the region in and around Yuma Arizona receives the most amount of sunlight hours compared to anywhere else in the U.S. Too much "influence" from Mormon Uranium Interests? Or what is the problem, oil companies, SRP, APS, did you eat too much of the "real" baby back ribs in a secret ritual? What's the problem? Cloud cover can now be controlled by using geoengineering. Moisture laden air masses can be dried up by over spraying them with condensation forming particulates. Hence, intermittent solar energy production due to passing clouds isn't as big a problem as we thought. In regards to passive house design. Vacuum panel insulation could be used in the construction of houses, thereby bringing down the amount of heat loss to or heat ent

Access to clean drinking water is essential for life and is often difficult to find in an off grid situation. One way to obtain relatively reliable amounts of water is to use an atmospheric water generator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator Though, the atmospheric water generators for sale can be quite expensive: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/17439918886460344661 In essence atmospheric water generators are dehumidifiers with filters that render the water potable. So one very inexpensive way to build your own atmospheric water generator is to buy a compressor based dehumidifier and then run the water through a series of Britta type filters or one can even distill the water. A dehumidifier with a pump that automatically expels condensed water is most convenient. https://www.google.com/search?output=search&tbm=shop&q=dehumidifier This would be ideal for people living off grid or living in a stealth van. The dehumidifier cou

Energy Lecture for the Week: https://upload.cat/88c540674dbe828d (please excuse the file hosting, I had some problems uploading the video to youtube. There is about 50 seconds of some anime video game advertisement before the video but if you wade through it you can view the video.) Though it was quoted that we get about 10 W/m^2 of electrical output from a solar panel, most people who install solar panels can get about 100 W/m^2 an order of magnitude more. This implies that total amount of land area needed for solar panels is 1/10 that quoted in the video or about 1/2, taking into account conversion and transmission losses. Also, due to the naturally occurring high pressure systems in Arizona and New Mexico there is less cloud cover. I wonder why Arizona wasn't mentioned, the region in and around Yuma Arizona receives the most amount of sunlight hours compared to anywhere else in the U.S. Too much "influence" from Mormon Uranium Interests?

Capitalism vs. Socialism Lecture for the Week: How FDR and Keynes Tried to Save Capitalism RT On Contact: The state of the planet and the looming food crisis Geology Lecture for the Week: Groundwater Contamination It might seem like the economy is prior to the biosphere but, a biosphere that supports life can exist without human economic activity but, human economic activity CANNOT exist without a biosphere that supports life: One way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from traditional combustion engines would be to use carbon scrubbing technology in the exhaust stream: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_scrubber Some of these carbon scrubbing methods are regenerative meaning that the scrubbing material or mechanism can be made to expel the carbon dioxide. Afterwards, the scrubbing material or mechanism can then be used again as a carbon dioxide scrubber. Now, in order to not simply shift the carbon dioxide from the exhaust stream into the e
