Hurricane Seasons, Erosion, Rising Seas, Sinking Land Mass

Therefore, while solar farms can have localized heating effects, the widespread impact of urban infrastructure on atmospheric temperatures is a much larger issue.

100% agree. The study was conducted directly in the vicinity of the solar farms. Just thought it was an interesting take I had never thought about.

Its a scam . . . you cold have stopped there

"cold" you ever add anything to a conversation? History says no but there is always hope I guess.

It takes more energy to manufacture a solar panel than the panel makes over a 20-30 lifespan?
I mentioned storage in an earlier post. That is usually the sticking point for all energy sources. That 24 gallon tank of 91 octane is pretty bad stuff. Luckily there is research on many types of less hazardous storage solutions.
I never said anything about being better than anyone else. Projecting a little maybe? Or feeling guilty?

How do you think they aquire the silica, aluminum, copper , glass etc to make them? not with your so called "green energy" vehicles. Have you seen a silica mine? There is a reason a house with a roof covered in solar panels still cant disconnect from the powerlines, it simply backfeeds the line to help lower your bill. All of those panels cant even power 1 house. You could cover every house on the block with solar, put an extra solar farm and you will still need instant power. Do you know the cost of putting solar on your roof? how many light bills that equates to? Its not practical and it damn sure isnt clean.

. . . but, but, but, you bet that subsidy check from the gubment

People all excited about UL and the solar farm. Hope there’s a backup plan, seen this first hand. Hurricane force winds and solar panels. No quick fix.

Beautiful!

Do whatever floats your boat on your personal property and in your personal space.

When it comes to needed energy levels for communities and industries, if you don't want traditional energy production, then Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are the only way forward to save the most human lives.

No argument there. Extraction and transport of anything is a dirty business. Have you seen a mountain top removal coal mine or strip mining operation? Call me when a solar panel spews 5 million barrels of oil or leaks tar sand oil into the environment.
I will be doing a deep dive to the costs/benefits of roof top solar shortly. We have several in our neighborhood and all have mostly positives to say. We have decided we will not downsize homes so we will be here indefinitely. I'll update you on the progress.

That would be a huge part of the solution but I think that ship has sailed in the US. Too much lingering negative attached to the word "nuclear". Maybe rebrand it "glowing energy" or something!

Do O & G industries get subsidies?
