Similar to a gas powered generator, and about the same cost, a portable solar power generator can be great for many uses.Florida solar powerhttp://www.sunbeltsolarenergy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-19954815472307328532012-06-05T19:41:37.773+10:002012-06-05T19:41:37.773+10:00Excellent work, BOAB, cheers...

I found this article using the USQ library database, in a search looking for the real costs of current energy provision.<br />It occurred to me that a thorough examination of these costs would be a logical starting point in a comparative exercise looking at alternatives - whether they be solar or something else. <br />This is a peer-reviewed piece of academic work. If he is, as you say, a scaremongering catastrophist, you should have no problems finding the holes in his data. All the figures used are verifiable.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-90585413943296183282012-06-04T12:28:56.455+10:002012-06-04T12:28:56.455+10:00Have a look at the background of the authors - her...Have a look at the background of the authors - here's the first one:<br /><br />Paul R. Epstein<br /><br />Epstein was among the first to recognize the less obvious health effects of greenhouse gases, from ragweed pollen to extreme weather events. He received recognition for his contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore. Gore had tapped Epstein as a science adviser in conceiving the slide show about global warming that became the basis of the Academy Award-winning 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”<br /><br />Epstein published widely on the health effects of climate change in journals and lay publications, co-authoring, for example, the recent book “Changing Planet, Changing Health: How the Climate Crisis Threatens Our Health and What We Can Do about It." He spoke often on the crisis through the media and public lectures, and educated physicians through a partnership with the American Medical Association.<br /><br />In short, a scaremongering catastrophist and a member of Al Gore's money making machine. A fully paid up member of Big Green.Boy on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452119541546978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-2896583360462656132012-06-04T12:03:29.984+10:002012-06-04T12:03:29.984+10:00BOAB
