I got that. My point is that solar is insignificant, and the tiny amount that of capacity that the state intends to install will be very expensive. And when the “carbon free” state facilities are needed most and unavailable, they will have to rely on natural gas.

Wow. Wolfe really is a wacko. Way out of touch with reality.

It’s gonna take more aholes with squeegees and snow shovels than that to keep yer solar panels clear Ha! ;>)
Shows what you know. Maryland NIST campus has a few acres of solar panels for campus power. The recent snow/ice storm covered the panels for most of the week, long after roads and ground snow had melted. Passed by several times a day and never saw any clearing crew or evidence of cleared panels.
The answer is more solar power! Direct sunlight to clear the ice and snow...only problem was temps remained at freezing or below with heavy overcast skies for a week. So their on-site generating plant kicked in until Mother Gaia allowed the sun to shine....funny that fact never appeared in local media. IIRC, 6 megawatt loss for 6-7 days.
ps. Governor Wolf must not have been around for the March 1993 Blizzard...or he's just plain stupid or corrupt...I thinks it's both.

They could produce power for decades if they just burned all the fake mail-in ballots for fuel...
