WAVES NEVER STOP, just different sizes, & TIDES happen twice EVERY day, & yet we have yet to even begin tapping them. I read that some of President Biden's Infrastructure bill will begin doing research on Wave & Tidal Generators. Public demand from all political sides could turn the tide, pun intended.NEILCAR » 17 May 2022, 6:26 am » wrote: ↑ If you could get all of the so call renewable generators online at the same time (and that is a big IF due to maintenance, no wind, and no sun) they would produce around 17%-18% of the U.S. energy needs .... I would politely point out we are NOT in a position to switch to renewable energy ... yet.
Presently the renewable energy companies earn far more from tax benefits and subsidies than they ever earn from the energy they produce. These companies could not be in business without the subsidies... These companies only exist because of the free money the U.S. gives them. So I would suggest that the technology isn't there yet to sustain renewable energy ... yet.
