Ummmm, the topic is Nova Scotia.....lots of ocean there LOLal_keda wrote: Wed Jun 11, 2025 4:24 pmI've done plenty of research, and where I live we have more sunny days per year than windy, and solar is easier to install in currently underutilized spaces.

If you did a little research, you would find out solar is not as efficient and reliable as wind power.
As I said, Scandinavian countries and England and Germany have a lot of windmills as they researched and picked the best solution
And the way to add more solar without clearing more land is to use land that currently isn't covered with solar, like parking lots and roofs.

So do both. Not a problem.
And put the windmills out at sea. Lobsters will eat blenderized gulls.

Then why did you change the subject to Europe and Scandinavia?Canucked wrote: Fri Jun 13, 2025 6:03 amUmmmm, the topic is Nova Scotia.....lots of ocean there LOLal_keda wrote: Wed Jun 11, 2025 4:24 pmI've done plenty of research, and where I live we have more sunny days per year than windy, and solar is easier to install in currently underutilized spaces.

The topic was also renewable energy, and like the man said, we can do both.

Never changed the topic to Europe and Scandinavia...used them as examples of where wind power was working very well. We could learn a lot from them.al_keda wrote: Sun Jun 15, 2025 6:08 amThen why did you change the subject to Europe and Scandinavia?Canucked wrote: Fri Jun 13, 2025 6:03 amUmmmm, the topic is Nova Scotia.....lots of ocean there LOLal_keda wrote: Wed Jun 11, 2025 4:24 pm

Oh and, the topic was "Two leading environmental groups are giving a thumbs up to Nova Scotia’s ambitious plan to dramatically expand its fledgling offshore wind energy industry."
Sorry for your comprehension limitations.
