According to 3 people with direct knowledge of the meeting, Trump floated the idea that the wall could be covered in solar panels and the electricity generated used to pay for the cost. Trump said his vision was a wall 40 feet to 50 feet high and covered with solar panels so they'd be "beautiful structures," the people said. The President said that most walls you hear about are 14 feet or 15 feet tall but this would be nothing like those walls. [Note: what.] Trump told the lawmakers they could talk about the solar-paneled wall as long as they said it was his idea. One person cautioned that the President wasn't presenting the solar-paneled wall as the definite solution.

Sativa_Rose 06/07/17 7:31:39 AM #24:	Tmaster148 posted... I doubt a solar wall will generate much power since the most effective way to use solar panels is to angle them. You could basically just have the solar sitting on the top of the wall mounted at an angle (or even on trackers that will adjust the angle with the sun). I think large sections of the border are in areas that are going to be really far from the grid. You'd need to construct a lot of new transmission to connect the solar in those areas to the grid it is likely. So I doubt this will end up happening. It would make so much more economic sense to take the money that would be spent making this a "solar wall" and then just take that and build a normal utility-scale solar project in a location that actually makes sense. Also putting the panels in more of a square-shaped rectangle is a much better formation than one that would essentially be one panel wide but a few thousand miles long. --- I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. <cite>Sativa_Rose posted [p:880578652] in The wall i...

I'm happy to pick out why each of these individual aspects is silly, though. What's amazing is that even a very basic estimate on this project should tell you that it's going to be one of the most protracted and difficult logistical construction projects in the history of the USA - not to mention one of the most expensive even just using concrete and a bit of steel - and you're saying that it will be worthwhile if we add solar panels on top. Any idea how expensive a solar panel is? How long that will take to do? What's curious here is that you haven't really considered the cost of any of this. You just got excited because now it sounds like a "green" project - take that liberals! pinky0926 posted... it sounds like you shifted goal posts just to attack me because someone else got on about it because you can't even come up with your own argument like the cuck you are lmao There's no shifting here. It's very simple. My opinion is this entire wall thing is the most stupid thing ever, but the idea of making the height 40ft is even more stupid. And adding solar panels at an additional cost on top of all that? It's just hard to equate the amount of stupid that's gone into this entire thing, I'm losing track of it all.

DevsBro 06/07/17 1:46:11 PM #40:	I doubt a solar wall will generate much power since the most effective way to use solar panels is to angle them. We all know you can't have a little stick extending from a wall to put an angled surface on. It won't generate much power anyway, even if the things are motorized to always fsce the sun directly. Solar is, at present and into the near future, much more a marketing thing than a practicality thing. I do have hopes for the future but right now we're in the buzzword phase. There is a good bit of solar power being generated, make no mistake. But it takes a whole lot of panels to amount to anything substantial, compared to an oil or gas plant, which can match a dozen or more solar facilities. Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic. This is definitely going to be a huge wall, after all. --- http://backloggery.com/devsbro/sig.gif http://i.imgur.com/kU5vu5N.png Never pepper popcorn <cite>DevsBro posted [p:880596412] in The wall i...

The slanted side faces to US. The wall side faces Mexico. That way he can like put the illegals into barrels and roll them back to Mexico while keeping new ones out. The wall is a terrible idea.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can do long distance transmission over hundreds of miles actually. There's a greater loss the longer the distance is (due to something called i^2 R losses or Joule's First Law), but I don't think the distance would be large enough for that to be a huge issue. For example, dams in the Pacific Northwest are often tapped into by the California grid. It's just not going to be worth it from a cost-effectiveness standpoint to try to build along the border, ESPECIALLY since it's basically like a formation of solar panels that would be the equivalent of a rectangular that is thousands of miles long and like 10 feet wide... it would be way more economically efficient to have a more square-like formation of the same area. --- I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. <cite>Sativa_Rose posted [p:880612084] in The wall i...
