Read the last part of this post.

The last I knew, the Sun never orbited Earth and the Moon orbits us only once each month...

Waah, ok... I want to see you prove it. If it was as easy as that, why wasn't it done yet?
--- Quote from: BuriaL on August 07, 2009, 02:25:47 PM ---You could put them on the roof, if the roof have the right angle and accessability. Most roofs have pretty easy access, since they need to be checked once in a while, and in europe we need to remove snow and clean the pipes.

You don't know how much civilian infrastructure overhauling this will require. Are you seriously considering putting delicate solar panels atop roofs of every each residence? That's not even considering how many generators and transformers you'll have to redistribute to residential areas to produce and transport usable electricity to anywhere it's needed, since energy production will then have been decentralized.

No, they aren't. An 'efficient' and ecologically safe geothermal reactor can only be placed around plate boundaries where molten rock reservoir are sufficiently pushed upward near to the Earth's surface. Otherwise you have to drill downward, which in itself requires megawatts of power each day for many years, and you also have to use a lot of refrigerant to drop water's boiling point to increase the geothermal steam's pressure. Otherwise the steam will condense before it can reach the turbine if the distance between the surface and the heatsource is too great.

Gravity is not magnetism.

Hmm..youre right :o actualy didnt know there were a difference. Strangely enough..
AceHigh:
Yeah, who could have thought that gravitation is a phenomenon where objects with mass attract each other. ::)
You sure as hell wouldn't be stupid enough to apply the general theory of relativity here, would you? ;D
On more important note: It takes more energy to produce a solar panel, then what energy it will produce in it's life time.

I think i slept though that in class ::) apparently there are some holes here and there in my knowledge. I do feel kinda stupid if this is something everyone should know x(
Unless youre creating solar panels for space exploration you get more energy back.
If this study is correct then..
Look at page 11.

AceHigh:
Energy.... what about the cost?
--- Quote ---Installing photovoltaic solar panels on your roof will cost you more than you save on electricity bills before the panels have to be replaced
