I've stated many times in this thread alone that I'm in favour of this technology, but its the limits of its application that I wanted to discuss. To just celebrate it is a bit blind to me.

Do you see how the two issues are different? (No pun intended)


While you may be right overall in that statement, we must not lose sight of the fact that every techology has its limits. To do so would be to do us all a disservice. To object to discussing its limitations doesn't sit well with me.


You do yourself no favours here.

You are just repeating what I have already said. As I previously stated, all technologies have limits. That's a given and accepted. If you wish to see others as blind, so be it. I personally don't have time for that. As I said, before, you have raised your negative points about Solar Thermal. I don't have to agree with you and I don't happen to agree with you. As indicated, with all the negatives, my overall view of Solar Thermal's potential is overwhelmingly positive and this is reflected in my representations of this technology.

People are free to form their own views. I won't say much about nuclear because I don't know a huge amount about it and I don't have a great deal of interest in it. I will however say that nuclear energy also has its limits of application. The parameters of discussion are common the technologies are different. That also is a given. I'm interested in Solar and Wind energy, so naturally I will tend to discuss these topics in their respective forums. Some people are interested in other topics.

Also contrary to your representation, I don't object to discussing limitations of any technology. I have discussed many issues relating to your perception of limitations to Solar Thermal, however this type of discussion can go on forever and I don't have time for that. Others are welcome to carry the baton for either or both views, but I have indicated my overall position on Solar Thermal energy and I don't need to elaborate any further. I'm not going to continually debate every single point you raise. Others are welcome to jump in. I have expressed my overall position.

I'm not aware of anyone in this forum, who is the sole authority on this topic. Thus the more separate views the better. People can make up their own minds as well they should.
