Mole333, perhaps can provide a technical analysis of the megawatt generating capacity of the "renewables" you propose that will replace generating plants as they go off line due to old age and increased CO2 politics?

Perhaps break it down by catagory such as Windmill, Solar, FuelCell ( fossil fuel? ), Biomass, any others you propose?

Perhaps also outline the other logistics factors such as location of Windmill Farms, will they be located in what proximity to NYC? How many square feet / acres of solar panels will be located at what locations?

What other factors do we need to consider to keep NYC street lights on in order to keep civil order and violent crime under control, not to mention comfort AC, water pumping for sewer and potable water, communications systems, refrigeration to maintain food preservation and distribution, fuel depots to maintain various transport, etc etc

I'm truly curious what solutions to these challenges you can offer because I for one am continually baffled by the promises being made by politicains, and demanded by the Environmental Lobbys - yet seem to me to be a little beyond current technology.

Perhaps as you provide your anaysis also indicate time for roll out and implementation.

Feel free to provide any supplemental references that are available, as I try to keep a rather extensive library on this type of stuff.

Its a 20 year hobby for me so I'm just curious about the answers, and I suspect our readers would like to know what our options are so we can get to work and make things happen.
