Has anyone considered that sticking all those wind vanes up in the air will slow down the prevailing winds, resulting in air stagnation and further increase Global Warming!?!?!?!

how big a breaker do you need for that mf'er? No idea But some of the big yard breakers at TVA, they use compressed air to open and close them. Use to could hear that about 5 miles away while in a deer stand.

Long range DC power... I must admit I never finished my EE degree, but everything I know still says that DC power is inefficient over distance, ... DC has lower line losses over long distances. Voltage conversion on DC adds losses but the net result for long high voltage DC transmission is greater efficiency. Supposedly the skin effect causes some losses even at 50/60Hz. In Tesla and Edison's time the DC voltages were very low compared to AC which caused the efficiency difference. Modern power electronics make 1+ MV DC possible. Skin effect causes some losses but the big one is the induction losses.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Don’t know about that one but one wog produced some calculations tha showed the solar panels would decrease surface temperatures and increase rainfall. So, basically if they just put up enough solar panels they turn Morocco into England.........

The Bonneville Power Administration energized its high voltage DC transmission line in 1970. It goes 850 miles from the Columbia River to Southern California. It can carry 3100 MWs of power.
