Solar is viable only on a personal basis when used with passive solar sun etc. When you get into those huge solar plants without engineers or solar experts to take care of what is being collected, it goes belly up. The wind turbines seem okay in small areas, but aren’t substantial for a whole grid to run off of.

Now, this was tried forty years ago and didn’t work either. Is it those who try to run it, or is it that it was meant for the private person, who can implement for personal use and has time to correct any ongoing issues?

Look at billions wasted by taxpayers on those solar companies now closed....of course the democrats got their donations from our money first.

It seems to me the single family dwelling, or at least single location power generation is much more feasible. Even if you just cut your publicly supplied energy consumption in half, you’ve accomplished quite a bit.

I’ve seen others talk about the solar companies that are now installing solar panels for free, then charging an electrical bill each month, equivalent to about half the former bill.

That seems like a good way to go. If you add batteries in the mix, you can get by at night and on days when there is cloud cover.

To me, this seems like a step in the right direction.

“Now, this was tried forty years ago and didn’t work either.” Now,didn’t I see where this is the definition of insanity....trying something over & over & expecting different results.
