Comment on GREEN FAIL: Solar Panels Catch Fire on High School Roof – Black Plume Seen for Miles by Rob N. Hood

Speaking of green, and jobs, and American success, beyond a cherry-picked story about one fire that is supposed to put fear in the hearts of parents everywhere:

Tesla, which employs more than 3,000 American workers, manufactures and sells electric cars.

Based in California, the company was one of many clean energy tech companies that was given a federal grant by the Department of Energy and the Obama Administration.

And you might recall during the campaign of 2012, Mitt Romney said in a debate that, like Solyndra, another clean tech company that was granted federal funds and went bankrupt, Tesla was a “loser.”

But fast forward just a few months, and the facts say otherwise.

Yesterday, Tesla announced that it had paid back in full its $465 million government loan, a whopping nine years early.

This is thanks in large part to the recent boom in Tesla sales and popularity.

In 2012, the Tesla Model S won the prestigious “Car of the Year” award from Motor Trend magazine

And, in the first quarter of this year, Tesla Model S sales were higher than sales of comparable models from Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

I just thought it was ironic that the panels were installed above the science lab. I’m actually somewhat interested in acquiring a couple solar panels – if only they weren’t so expensive (and didn’t catch fire).

Unlikely, improbable. I was just showing that it was not unlikely, or improbable, and had indeed happened. So reality has negated unlikeliness, and improbability.

There already is a law. The whole point of the story is that the law is being enforced selectively.

Oh, and so you want MORE regulation and enforcement, for wind farms? Ok, sure, if it’s appropriate and nonbiased. But your side HATES government interference, or so I thought. Nevermind a response- it would be hypocritical gibberish anyway.

Look up the word doubtful. I didn’t say impossible, or never. I actually figured there must be at least one example of such a penalty- and then I made my point which you can whine about all you want but it’s a valid one.

“When Webster Groves High School purchased solar panels to put on the roof of the school, no one told them they could catch on fire!”
I don’t know for certain, but I would bet that the installation instructions for those panels probably have several warnings saying something to the effect of “!!FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH!!” I do know for a fact that furnace installation manuals contain many such warnings because I used to install furnaces.

I hate to say it, but I think RNH has a point. Though I think this is a case where the panels were probably installed incorrectly. Which is usually the case as well when there are fires from furnaces or electrical wiring. I think the moral of this story is if you are having anything installed, make certain that the people doing the installation are properly trained, and educated.

No, the key here is that you said it was doubtful that “Companies are prosecuted when birds are electrocuted.” And I showed an example of just that happening. That is all I responded to. The circumstances surrounding individual cases in this instance are irrelevant. You’re trying to make this into a “gotchya” but you are falling flat on your face.
Your assertion that wind generators are following the law is ridiculous! They’re killing birds! How can you say that they’re following the law, and the law is “DON”T KILL BIRDS”, and they’re killing birds! You can deny that there is a double standard applied to this issue, but you’re only lying to yourself.

In other news, furnaces and electrical wiring have NEVER caused once single fire in all of modern history.

Key here being they knowingly could have avoided the deaths, and probably neglected certain regulations as well. Whereas the wind generators are complying with the law and regulations. This is very rudimentary and I am disgusted once again to have to explain common sense, but someone has to do it, cuz the Grand Neilio will never.

This is pathetic. She sounds so boring talking about it. It’s worse than my social studies teacher in high school. Four droning sentences was all it took for me to fall asleep. I have a tremendous dislike for Eyeore, but he at least sounds like he’s alive when he’s lying about climate change. I’d rather sit through a two hour lecture on proper hand washing from my high school social studies teacher, than listen to Hillary drone on about anything. YAWN!

So what? You said it was doubtful that “Companies are prosecuted when birds are electrocuted.” And I showed an example of just that happening. Now can you show me an example of a company that has been prosecuted for killing birds with turbine blades? Now that’s doubtful!

So there is no stock trading of CO2 in the US. Thanks for clarifying that.

Yes, thanks for the link.

“Until this past year, PacifiCorp had failed to use readily available measures to address bird electrocutions in Wyoming – measures that could have saved numerous eagles and other birds. Under the terms of its plea agreement, the company must implement an Avian Protection Plan for the State that will include retrofitting and modernizing its electrical distribution and transmission system to reduce eagle mortalities. “
