Otis Scops aka Crash Course<p>Why Cheap Renewables Won't Save Us?</p><p>An interesting look at the reasons. Here it is shown, once again I should say, that capitalism doesn't work when it comes to long-term thinking. Capitalism is about short term profit above all.</p><p>So, would the world be saved when be could kill the capitalist system?<br>Well, we would be much better off I'm sure, but unfortunately when it comes to saving the planet, or our civilisation for that matter, I don't think so.</p><p>When it comes to the energy transition, there are two main factors that are not mentioned in this explanatory video.</p><p>1. Renewables produce electricity. Wind, solar and hydro power all result in electricity production. Unfortunately electricity only accounts for some 20% of our energy usage. The rest is supplied mostly by fossil fuels.</p><p>2. More importantly, we are in a severe state of overshoot. We have been using more than our share of minerals, oil and whatever. There are just not enough critical minerals available for the type of energy transition that would be necessary for 8 billion people on the planet.<br>- And besides energy we also need food and wild nature -</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkIMf_hVOfQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=mkIMf_hVOf</span><span class="invisible">Q</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Renewables</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PV</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Overshoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Overshoot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrises</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChaos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChaos</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenNewDeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenNewDeal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenWashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenWashing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/profit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>profit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransition</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Collapse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrashCourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrashCourse</span></a></p>

Sprig 🌱<p>While many solar panels can last 25-30y, the quick advances in technology are causing some people to want to replace their panels sooner.

imdat celeste :v_tg: :v_nb: :v_genderfluid: 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦 [witchzard]<p>Looked up solar panels for the balcony (in my case, for our rooftop terrace).</p><p>After checking our electricity usage I realized that two panels would help reduce our electricity-use from the grid by 50%. On average, we seem to be using around 400W through the day. Peaks are for washing machine and oven. Washing machine is usually run in the evening but that one we can easily move to the day. Oven not so much. </p><p>Two panels deliver about 400W gross (~300W net), so theoretically it'd cover 3/4th of our needs, but because of night, it'll end up being around 50% only - if we use the washing machine during the day. We have, except for the washing machine and oven, a very steady electricity use.</p><p>So, this would reduce our overall grid-electricity needs from ~3 MWh/year to 1.5MWh/year.</p><p>Investment? About 400-600 EUR. If I deduct the government subsidy from it, I'll end up at around 300-500 EUR. And seeing how much we pay for electricity, this whole investment would have a ROI-time of less than a year.</p><p>I guess it is time I added two solar panels to the rooftop terrace, where they are also nearly invisible.</p><p><a href="https://tau-ceti.space/tags/SolarPanel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPanel</span></a> <a href="https://tau-ceti.space/tags/SolarEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarEnergy</span></a></p>
