If I buy an electric car, it will do infinity MPG if worked on a cash

Er, we're talking about relative fuel costs aren't we?
All fuels have a capital cost implication.
But solar has no primary fuel source such as gas oil or coal.
So you buy your panels and there are no other costs apart from repair
s if by badluck you need any..
Well, if you bought an underground tank of petrol and forget the purchase
price, that would provide free fuel too. Until it ran out. Solar panels
failing with time, exactly the same.


I don't have to fill a solar panel with increasingly expensive fuel,
it never "runs out."


It runs out every single night harry,.

* It is a one off cost. *The energy it produces

becomes increasingly valuable as time goes by..


Not really. It will always be more expensive than nuclear power so in a
world where nuclear power exists it will be worthless - or only worth
about 1/4 as much as nuclear power because it is so inflexible.

This is what renewable means, Don't you understand that? It's simple
enough.


No, I dont know what renewable means. Since physics tells us that the
universe itself does not renew.


My you ARE pretty thick.
