You are correct they want to destroy the country.

Look you moron

Solar panels , photovoltaic panels , which sit there and do nothing

have absolutely nothing in common with a $5 million 300 foot tall tower with twirly birds on it

OK genius here’s some economics for you

One solar panel cost $150 is 300 W and will produce 500 kWh per year

500 kWh at $.20 a kilowatt hour is worth how much money genius?

I’m desperately waiting for your economic analysis to reply in terms of how much that money is and then with my return on investment is on that solar panel

and go ahead and cut it down to $.10 a kilowatt hour and then tell me what it’s worth

Thanks genius

If wind and solar were feasible, power companies wouldn’t need $billions of government money and would have been built decades ago.
