Comments on: Redskins to install 8,000 solar panels at FedEx Field http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/13/redskins-to-install-8000-solar-panels-at-fedex-field/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 26 May 2013 02:30:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mdnittlion http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/13/redskins-to-install-8000-solar-panels-at-fedex-field/#comment-1124548 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:37:51 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=139216#comment-1124548 @ stull60060

Glad I’m not the only EE on here. Every time some company makes an announcement about solar panels I try not to laugh about it. Snyder just needs some good news to cramp down the public’s throats after some minor hiccups in his management style like suing news outlets, his free agents, his draft choices prior to this year, suing ticket holders and his lawyer quitting. If any Eco warrior thinks those panels matter at all, their about as smart Vinny Cerrato.

I’m an electrical engineer. However, you don’t need to be one to know that solar power produces no significant power to run something as large as a stadium. Solar panels cost more than they will ever save you in electric bills. In other words your spending a dollar to save a dime. Nothing will replace coal, oil and natural gas for at least the next 100 years and beyond. Spending valuable resources $$$$ on solar as well as wind power is a waste. It’s just making General Electric and other companies richer at the expense of the tax payer. GE would not make these losers without a government subsidy. Why? Because GE and others know they don’t work and are inefficient at delivering the power needed for a growing nation and economy. The politicians get campaign mony from these environment wacko’s to get them to pass ridiculous regulations and laws to force utilities and companies to buy and install this junk so as to appear environmentally friendly. Taxpayers be damned. No need to save the planet. It has been here for 4.5 BILLION YEARS and will still be here for another 4-5 BILLION YEARS regardless of anything we do or don’t do. WE HOWEVER WILL BE LONG GONE BY THEN.

It was built in a hurry to be finished before JKC died in 97. But this is a cool project and the Skins should be applauded for it.

boysroll – go back under whatever rock you live under.

Plus there are always more visiting fans than home fans the last 10 yrs because the team blows.

Been to Dallas new stadium twice and it blows Fed-x field away. You cannot even compare the two. JJ did it right and that stadium has ample parking and is easy to get in and out of.

Ravens and Eagles stadiums I have been too as well and they blow away Fed-x field big time.

I bet if they rate stadiums fed-x field would rate last just like the standings year to year…..at least they are consistent. LMAO.

Now maybe Danny Boy can put a competitive team on the field that will generate some electricity in the stands for once

Do you really think I’d install something like this and not gouge the fans for it?”
