Got banned from [email protected] for pointing out that it was a big reach to say that wind power is included in the term “solar energy”. The mod referenced a temp ban from two years ago? Tried to say I’ve got a “history” of trolling and harassment, as well that I “doxxed” user DMs which also happened two years ago. I even, at the time, talked with the mod involved and reposted that comment without the DM screenshots. Like I don’t have an entirely squeaky clean modlog but it’s only a single page over two years? What the fluff? Like it’s a two week ban and I could hardly care but jeeze this feels like overreach.

I don’t think CSP uses air like wind, pretty sure they generally use water. Also, we’re using man made tech to move wind turbines just like CSP. Hell, if we want to get into the weeds of it, photovoltaic panels are less solar than wind as they can only use a small wavelength of light to create electricity and hates too much thermal energy while wind uses all the heat energy that doesn’t escape.
But the manmade tech is interacting with wind in the wind turbine case. If we wanna get really stupid about it then even fossil fuels are solar because the organics that turned into fossil fuels were all supported by the sun and they just served as single use solar batteries.
See, now that is a reach as the solar energy is first converted into chemical energy with fossil fuels while wind is thermal to kinetic just like CSP. Also, the wind is created by man made tech, global warming for instance is man made tech that increases the wind in some regions as well as heat islands, sky scrapers, forest clearing and turbulence from wind turbines themselves. The only real difference is scale, CSP is at small scale and wind is at large scale.
Of course its a reach - that was the point
Anyway I’m disengaging have a nice day
It’s not a reach for CSP to be solar so it’s not for wind to be a form of solar power. CSP doesn’t use chlorophyll to create hydrocarbons thus has no association with solar power sources. Clearly you understand this distinction and are now backing out.
No, I’ve realised that we are talking past eachother and am disengaging. Have a nice day.
