Geothermal electricity

[Bizman]

The real problem with geothermal is land stability. Even though it's deep down when you start pumping the water out it has an impact on the land. So it depends where you are taking it from. Also most area good for geothermal are also active volcanic zones, and active earthquake zones.

Pumping any water out more than goes in will create hollows that can collapse. Californian irrigation is a good example.

Earthquakes.

Sink holes...insurance against them is worse than hurricane coverage

I'm sure Fracking may begat some land instability but haven't read anything on it.

This isn’t political, its science

It’s a social science. They basically use a series of statistical regressions using altered data from the past and computer models to determine a preordained conclusion. The total number of stations that collect weather data has declined and those that are still in use tend to be clustered around airports, city centers, etc which are highly susceptible to the “urban heat island” affect. If the same methods used by climate scientists were applied by biotech companies testing new medicines the FDA would fail them all. The sad thing is that the climate very well could be changing but the methods or lack there of used by these so called climate scientists are so sketchy I tend to disregard their conclusions.

This infirmation comes from where?

It's a known fact Tampa FL weather forecast temperature is taken at the airport TIA ..

Local meteorologist complain about it on their forecasts as all the concrete around it skews the average temperature higher..

Thats nit the part I was referring to. I wrote weather software in the 90s the info has always come from airports, since day one.

Of course you did...

Well let's move the thermometers off the concrete to start..maybe we can put them on black asphalt roads instead..lol

Thats right I did. A desktop app.
APs is what fed realtime wind, which my app updated every 3 seconds. Apps then didn’t have realtime wind then. Temps every 10 min. It fed off the closest airport to you. Its not complicated. If you want to bypass 1 hr change a weather website ir news you fed directly iff an AP data feed.

 Of course with NOAA cuts you may not always get the seas info you get now, or data from canisters released in hurricanes.

You seem to think everything funded is messed up. You go do it. You people know everything about everything without ever touching it. Amazing humans. We’ll just ask you when your next hurricane is coming.

I’ll just forget my history because you didn’t do it. Now we’re even.

The XP Game Launcher I made that killed services and background processes in XP, was picked up and used by a guy named Mike who worked at Microsoft and flew AH. A few years later Game Mode came out. A very toned down version of what my app did. Did he steal the idea, I dunno.  Coincidence? <shrug>

Also rebuilt AW damage model. 

The gold AH logo and default sounds HT obtained from me, which they improvised on, which I charged nothing, he gave me a free account, which I lost login info to   

My mom was an investigative reporter with her own TV show. I picked up on a few things, called details first.

If you’re gonna insult someone you might want to know their history.

Not insulting anyone Animl-AW..you go man!

Just telling you a known fact that city temperature of Tampa is reporting high as it's in a sea of concrete at TIA..

Eagler

[AKIron]

There's a valid reason for weather equipment to be primarily at airports. Weather reporting is critical to air operations and especially the conditions at airports. The temps and other measurements are accurate there even though affected by the massive heat garnering concrete slabs. That effect is still important to airfield operations. Predicting climate change based on those conditions? Who would do that?

Just FYI
History ch - Modern Marvels has a great episode on this subject, why its at airports and how the thermometer was invented.

Hydrogen seems promising once infrastructure for it comes up to speed.  All of the equipment in the warehouse i work at runs on it.  I think the next 20 years should be fun to watch changes in different energy alternatives.  Harnessing the power from multiple sources and having them work together is a interesting thing to ponder.

[Eagler]

Need hot air and flatulence powered devices as most are full of one or the other or both...

Endless "clean" energy lol
