Video: The Mystery Flaw of Solar Panels

‘Real Engineering’ video describes the inherent but unreported flaw of solar panels – they degrade in efficiency as soon as the leave the factory. At the outset, a typical solar panel has 20 percent efficiency.

In other words, it is capable of translating 20 percent of the energy it receives from the sun to convert into useful energy. But this number falls off a cliff during regular use and a lot of potential energy is lost.

Scientists have been looking for the cause of the problem in the photovoltaic cells, as explained in the video below:

    Who can figure out the mystery of why investors and engineers, etc install geothermal energy plants where heat flux is less than 1 W/m^2? This is smaller than average insolation at north and south pole.

    It’s actually easy to solve, unless you are a climate “scientist”.

    Photovoltaics is a crude, one time, molecular erosion parlor trick that never recovers a fraction of the investment energy to mine, refine, combine and distribute these green koolaid eco trinkets. PV produces 1.5 watts/sq-ft at 1.5 volts, for 6 hours per day. This is intentional shift from efficiency Carbon fuel and hydroelectric power by demonic warlords.

    The real shocker is the expenditure on battery backup, where $3 billion will buy you a ludicrously miniscule 100 megawatt battery!

    The astronomical cost of shifting to non-carbon based energy sources would literally send humanity back to the Stone Age, with consequent population decline; annihilation of the species, per the Satanic purpose for destroying the globe’s economies. Let’s make this abundantly clear by noting the shocking cost for just one critical component of the United State’s energy needs:

    STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE

    The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve is currently at 635.2 million barrels of oil. 635 million barrels of oil equals 1,079,123,092,000 megawatts. 1,079,123,092,000/100 = 10,791,230,920; 10,791,230,920 X $3.6 billion[1] = $3,884,831,310,000,000,000,000,000,000 (octillion).

    The United States’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2017 was $19,390,000,000,000 (trillion). Battery storage to replace the strategic petroleum reserve would cost more than 100,000 GDPs!

    THERMODYNAMICS AWOL

    Climate change mechanics conspires to do away with the physics of the atmosphere, where action and reaction is abandoned. When a new gas molecule is introduced into the dense troposphere, dislocation takes place, where if the new molecule is denser than the atmosphere (contains less heat energy), such as carbon dioxide, the gas molecule sinks displacing upwards the warmer nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby cooling the area of dislocation. Conversely, if the new gas molecule has more heat energy than the nitrogen-oxygen based atmosphere (such as methane), the new molecule rises, displacing relatively cooler nitrogen and oxygen molecules downwards, which displaces upwards relatively more heat retaining nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby cooling the area of dislocation. Thermodynamics in action in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth cool when increased radiation isn’t the new variable introduced.

    SOCIOPATHS IDENTIFIED

    The identity of the mass murderers that have co-opted the globe’s institutions identify themselves as Marxists, most being unaware that they are, in fact, manipulated by a top level leadership cadre composed of humanity’s arch enemy’s combatants, Satanists.

    Troubled by a personal moral breakdown once freed from parental constraints (a libertine), the man the world knows as a racist and callous and domineering psychopath was formerly a devout and lovely young follower of Christ. Then Marx’s personality changed for the worse, seeking not atheism, but revenge against God and His children on Earth:

    “Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited,
    I know it full well,
    My soul, once true
    to God, Is chosen for hell.”

    …and…

    “With disdain I will throw my gauntlet
    Full in the face
    of the world,
    And see the collapse
    of this pygmy giant
    Whose fall will
    not stifle my ardour.
    Then will I wander
    godlike and victorious
    Through the ruins
    of the world
    And, giving my
    words an active force,
    I will feel equal
    to the Creator.”

    Marx wrote those poems AFTER he transferred university from Bonn to Berlin, telling us (1) Marx always remained a theist, feigning atheism; and (2) that we were lied to when told that once Marx entered university that’s when he became an atheist. As for the rank and file Marxists, they’re marionettes, whose strings are pulled by the Marxist leadership class who are actually Satanists; Satanists have been active within our institutions for millennia, as Jesus warned us.

    At my blog, read the articles…

    SINKHOLE: THE GREEN NEW DEAL’S RENEWABLE ENERGY COSTS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS’ BUDGETS

    ‘House of Cards: The Collapse of the ‘Collapse’ of the USSR’

    ‘Playing Hide And Seek In Yugoslavia’

    Then read the article, ‘The Marxist Co-Option Of History And The Use Of The Scissors Strategy To Manipulate History Towards The Goal Of Marxist Liberation’

    Solution

    The West will form new political parties where candidates are vetted for Marxist ideology/blackmail, the use of the polygraph to be an important tool for such vetting. Then the West can finally liberate the globe of vanguard Communism.

    [1] $3.6 billion is the cost for a 100 megawatts battery. In 2006, during peak power in the summer, Washington, DC used approximately 6,888 MW of power: 6,888/100 MW = 68 MW; 68MW X $3.6 billion = $244.8 billion for Washington, DC to switch from petroleum to renewable energy sources. Washington, DC’s annual budget is $12.8 billion.

    Hi there,
    The only “renewable” electricity production is fast breathing nuclear. We’d have many hundreds of years of this energy based on just existing fissile reserve. Yet no mainstream propaganda outlets seem to acknowledge it…
    Cheers, JaKo
