Power Problems Need Bright Solution
solution #2 : "Wind power? Solar collectors? Bah! Have you ever wondered when the least amount of strain is placed on the national grid? WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING!" exclaims Southern Carniez Electra official Steffan Clinton. "We need power under our control, and cheaply. Coal has been the cheapest and most abundant power source for ages. We don't need this airy fairy wind malarky when we have cheap and reliable power available for all. True, pollution will be a bit on the heavy side but I'm sure that's only a minor problem, with how well funded our health system is!"
How did this get past the editors? This is basically saying that power is used the least during the day and on sunny days, therefore there would be no advantage to solar power... How many people actually believe that? Ever heard of air conditioners? Having spent 5 years living in Guam I can tell you that the hotter and sunnier it is, the bigger the strain on the grid. Think about it. hehe
