Better windmills :D This green energy hoax barely sustains communities on earth, why would sane someone risk on Mars? Mission needs reliability - we have nuclear power sources reliably working for decades, powering bigger things than calculator.
- knz 9y agoCan you explain what you mean by "green energy hoax [that] barely sustains communities on earth"? Renewables are part of having a diverse power grid and because of the investment needed they are situated in areas with consistent/reliable wind/solar radiation. I drive past the massive wind farms of Minnesota and he Dakota's regularly - they are almost always generating electricity. My understanding is that the US has significant potential renewable energy reserves. Edit. Wikipedia suggests that about 14% of the US grid is currently renewables (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_Unit...) - that seems far from "barely sustaining". The map of potential for wind alone suggests great potential - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wind_power_potential_map.jpeg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wind_power_potential_ma...
