<p>Willem, 99% of muslim women are treated like cattle they have no say. They still practice female genital mutilation it's not the same there. I'm not advocating abything except not cutting our own throats so to speak.</p>

<p>Stephen,</p>
<p>You advocate white people having more children so Muslims would not dominate?<br/>That would be a race to the bottom.</p>
<p>I rather advocate offering female Muslims more money, beyond normal amounts, to incentivize them to get with the program. <br/>Money talks, even in Muslim countries.</p>

<p>Normally I agree with you Willem, but, in this case that idea in 4 or 5 generations the world would be ruled by muslims by shear numbers. They are already out populating all others by 5 to one. And by their doctrine are mandated to out procreate all others. In no way do I support my family being dominated by muslims.</p>

<p>This program would be run by private NGOs, which may, or may not, receive funding from governments.<br/><br/></p>
<p>This program has nothing to do with eugenics.</p>
<p>This program is forward looking, because it rescues the remaining flora and fauna from continued extinction.</p>
<p>Life on earth is not possible without a thriving flora and fauna.</p>
<p>The program is totally random, based on free will.</p>

<p>This has nothing to do with elitism, or black, white and yellow, or the defense department. Just Google</p>
<p>If humans spread wider and wider, the flora and fauna will continue to disappear, as they have for more than 150 years.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If there were only about ONE billion people, and they would use 1/4 the energy of what they use now, wind and solar and hydro could provide all the energy they would need.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There is no hope of doing that with 10 billion people gorging on goods and services.</p>

<p><strong>FORTRESS VERMONT, A MULTI-BILLION BOONDOGGLE FOISTED ONTO RATEPAYERS AND TAXPAYERS</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/fortress-vermont-a-multi-billion-boondoggle-foisted-onto">http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/fortress-vermont-a-multi-billion-boondoggle-foisted-onto</a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Depending on how much the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, variable/intermittent wind and solar often supply too much or too little electricity. The solution of the<strong> 100%-in-state </strong>proponents is to store unused electricity in batteries (or some other medium) and then dispatch from storage as needed, 24/7/365, to maintain ISO-NE-specified grid conditions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The<strong> 100%-in-state </strong>proponents propose a $1.2 billion <strong>down-payment</strong> on “Fortress Vermont”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- About $900 million would be for new electricity storage systems, during the 2020 – 2025 period, and tens of $billions thereafter, if their plan for 100% in-state renewable electricity were implemented.</p>
<p>The battery capacity would be about $900 million/($375/kWh) = 2400 MWh, i.e. 600 MW delivered for 4 hours. See Notes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- About $300 million would be to pay wind/solar system owners whose electricity outputs would be curtailed during high winds and very sunny days, during the 2020 – 2025 period.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: The NREL states the average turnkey capital cost of grid-scale, 4-hour, battery systems was $375/kWh in 2018, and projects $250/kWh for 2025, $210/kWh for 2030, and 155/kWh for 2050. Such battery systems would absorb solar during mid-day hours and release it during late-afternoon/early-evening hours. See figure ES-2</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73222.pdf">https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73222.pdf</a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: NREL defines the 4-hour duration as the output duration of the battery, such that a 4-hour device would be able to discharge at rated capacity for 4-hours. In practice that would mean that the device would charge for more than 4 hours and would nominally hold more than its rated energy capacity in order to compensate for losses during charge and discharge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FROM FORTRESS VERMONT TO FORTRESS NEW ENGLAND</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If all of New England were as foolish as Vermont, and <strong>Fortress Vermont</strong> were to become <strong>Fortress New England, </strong>with build-outs of wind and solar everywhere, and gas and nuclear plants closed, instead of a “down-payment” of about $1.2 billion, about 122/6 x 1.2 = $24.4 billion would be required to install 122/6 x 2400 = 48,800 MW of battery storage systems during the 2020 – 2025 period. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>About 122/6 x 0.9 = $18.3 billion would recur every 15 years to replace the battery systems!</p>
<p>Additional multi-$billion "down-payments" would be required after 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In case of a randomly occurring, 5 to 7-day wind/solar lull, about 122 billion/365 x 6d = 2 billion kWh would be consumed.</p>
<p>The 48,800 MWh (or 48,800,000 kWh) of storage would provide electricity to New England for only 3.5 hours of those 6 days; wood and refuse burning and hydro might provide another 1 - 3 hours.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All that, and more, would be shifted onto ratepayers, taxpayers and debt, to support massive build-outs of heavily subsidized cripples, called wind and solar, that could not even exist on the grid without the other generators and/or grid-scale storage systems. See URL.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/cost-shifting-is-the-name-of-the-game-regarding-wind-and-solar">http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/cost-shifting-is-the-name-of-the-game-regarding-wind-and-solar</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FORTRESS PROPONENTS OPPOSED TO LOW-COST CANADIAN HYDRO ELECTRICITY</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>FORTRESS folks, who tirelessly peddle their heavily subsidized, expensive, variable/intermittent wind/solar electricity, that requires expensive, grid-scale, storage and expensive grid augmentation/expansion, absolutely do not want low-cost competition from <strong>any</strong> source, especially if that source would be 1) <strong>low-cost, say 5.7 c/kWh, and 2) would require</strong> <strong>no storage and minimal grid augmentation/expansion</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>VT-DPS employees, on loan to the legislature, “are helping” legislators write a FORTRESS VERMONT bill that specifically limits Hydro-Quebec to about 33% of the Vermont electricity fed to grid. That way, FORTRESS folks get to play their expensive “islanding/fortress” games with the other 67%.</p>

His vague explanation of solar cost effectiveness is unclear of where he starts his value cost to value outcome. If it's from the mining then the cost is never overcome. And wind is a sick joke, with the destruction of the land and mountains never to be replaced there is no plus side. And whining that billionaires that seem to exhibit a god complex that puts a burden on those that aren't rich like them "Gates and Grantham" are just two, is just sad. So his is that it's his paycheck and his banner that is being soiled, it's more than a grain of salt I take this with. </p>
