Claims The Electricity group investigated several claims made by Jacobson et al. concerning electricity in New York State (NYS). These claims were as follows: There exists sufficient wind speed to provide 50% of NYS power generation There exists sufficient solar intensity to provide 38% of NYS power generation There exists sufficient hydroelectric capacity to provide 5.5% of … Read more…
In our post on claims, the Electricity group listed several claims made by Jacobson et al. In this post, we will be assessing the validity of two of those claims. Specifically, we will be addressing these two: There exists sufficient wind capacity to generate 50% of NYS electrical energy using both on- and off-shore wind systems. … Read more…
Jacobson et al. claim that all electrical generation and consumption in New York State can be converted to Wind, Water, and Solar (WWS) methods by 2030. This claim is based on several supporting claims. There exists sufficient wind capacity to generate 50% of NYS electrical energy using both on- and off-shore wind systems. There exists sufficient … Read more…
