I thought comparing capacity factor instead of capacity would be more fair, but I got roughly the same result. Elwha's capacity factor was, at one point, 39% [0], and capacity factor for wind turbines in the US is ~35% [1]. However, we

I'm American and have lived most of my life in American suburbs. I don't like them very much, and I don't like the imperial system. I don't think denser development is a short term solution, but I don't like short t

The liberal talking points used in the survey (2nd Amendment should be repealed, religious liberty is used to justify discrimination, structural racism exists) are also just repeats of the same argument we've heard a million times over

That's a poor comparison. We can't control when we get solar power, and we can't easily store excess solar power right now. Hydropower is available on demand. Green sources of electricity like this are worth building today, b
