# 110 solar energy shortcomings From: starstuffharvestingstarlight Date: 2010-08-18 20:45:14 Title: solar energy shortcomings it's been cloudy. that's it. cloudy means not as much power, which means we haven't had even remotely the same energy. therefore, i have an entirely new plan. a generator to charge the bank. whenever we need it, it goes up. and that includes powering the big concert sound system if needed. by modding it for methane, we can build a digester and harvest the gas. actually, considering the amount of shit we produce, we might get all our gas from it. this way, it would be way easier to close the energy loop whenever solar is weak. consider winter, for example. it won't be enough, and just adding panels doesn't fix it. bike generators, windmills and such are still in the works. they are not that complicated at all, and i might do one soon. but whenever we need massive power (heavy power tools, big sound systems), we should back it up somehow. other than that, we're back to less people, smaller issues. the crew has been working on the stage, they have bigger plans (a studio in the back), and whenever one of the kids is around, they work hard on it. i think within a month we might have proper concerts. godspeed starstuff ☆★☆☆★★★☆☆☆☆☆ --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
