I'm gonna start with a disclaimer. But the slides are really, really tiny.
- 00:05 - 00:10
So we're gonna have to lean in a lot to see and I'm blind. Yeah. And we
- 00:10 - 00:16
can see. So this is our science solution for global warming by lead. And
- 00:16 - 00:18
come here,
- 00:21 - 00:24
are you tired of having to pay your electricity bill and contribute to
- 00:24 - 00:26
large companies whose plans are to kill you in the long run?
- 00:27 - 00:28
Well, what are you gonna do about it?
- 00:29 - 00:30
Sit around on your couch,
- 00:30 - 00:33
watch the same three TV shows we watch for the past five hours.
- 00:33 - 00:34
Well,
- 00:34 - 00:35
yeah,
- 00:35 - 00:38
because our company is out in the wild wild west trying to turn the counties
- 00:38 - 00:43
of King and Loving texas into the two largest solar fields and the whole nation.
- 00:48 - 00:51
Okay, so what are we gonna, what are you gonna do?
- 00:52 - 00:55
Simple. We're going to take two of the most unpopular
- 00:56 - 00:59
counties in the United States Loving and King counties, both
- 01:00 - 01:03
situated at opposite ends of the base of texas
- 01:04 - 01:06
panhandle. I still can't see that
- 01:07 - 01:08
disappointing.
- 01:10 - 01:12
Pros and cons about our chosen places.
- 01:13 - 01:15
Okay, pros. Very sunny.
- 01:15 - 01:18
Lots of flat land, extra space,
- 01:18 - 01:24
dry cont weather extremes might get too hot to function though.
- 01:24 - 01:28
Not many people still live there. Very expensive but fits in our budget.
- 01:29 - 01:30
So
- 01:30 - 01:31
speaking of budgets,
- 01:32 - 01:36
What is the budget? And also, how much land are we talking here?
- 01:36 - 01:41
Well, with the combined power of 1463 sq mi.
- 01:42 - 01:45
This amount of land we can mostly power.
- 01:45 - 01:49
The whole state of Texas, which is 250,000 square miles with eat.
- 01:49 - 01:53
Of course we also set aside some miles for urban areas,
- 01:53 - 01:57
settlement neighborhoods in East County and then as well,
- 01:57 - 02:01
this is only partially power not to fully run off solar power, but
- 02:02 - 02:03
yeah, let's give it an
- 02:04 - 02:05
extra
- 02:06 - 02:10
What's the cost? The budget for this project is two billion.
- 02:10 - 02:11
However,
- 02:11 - 02:14
we assume this project will only use half
- 02:14 - 02:17
as the average cost of installing a solar panel
- 02:17 - 02:21
Per square meter is 600 but doing the math.
- 02:21 - 02:25
The estimate cost comes out to $1.4 billion.
- 02:27 - 02:30
Guys, that's a lot of money. We're not Jeff Bezos, but like whatever.
- 02:30 - 02:35
So what are we gaining out of this? What do we get? What's the what's the point
- 02:35 - 02:37
If we choose to take this route?
- 02:37 - 02:39
Big factories and companies that produce energy
- 02:39 - 02:41
are going to struggle and they're going to
- 02:41 - 02:45
severely decrease in time as solar panels continue to provide more energy in texas.
- 02:45 - 02:49
This means that we will be saving in our electricity costs and in the long
- 02:49 - 02:50
run not have as many of these
- 02:50 - 02:52
dangerous greenhouse gasses wandering in the atmosphere,
- 02:52 - 02:53
which is crazy.
- 02:54 - 02:58
Texas is our starting point because it's one of the most driest latticed
- 02:58 - 03:03
and sunny estates in the whole us and it has wounds up land
- 03:06 - 03:08
and that is the end
- 03:09 - 03:11
