The inefficiency and cost effectiveness of solar was well discussed by previous posts. What I’d like to add is the average person of today, in particular the younger generations, have absolutely zero thinking ability. They do not know how to balance a checkbook or run a simple budget to keep from going into debt. They know nothing about how machinery or electricity actually works.
My point is they can be easily duped into thinking solar is free because the sun is free. And when this same bunch is scared to death that global warming will kill them, then to them it’s a no-brainer, that we must have more solar power and no other sources of electricity production.
What they do not realize is they are the ones with no brains.
When enough young people realize their being scammed like this, they’ll change their tune (because it will be their money):
Basically million was spent constructing this nonsense in upstate NY (not very sunny), and it was dismantled years later without ever powering anything - EVER. The money is gone, the business (front) is closed, and everyone is a bit poorer for the experience (except the scammers themselves).
Even if the young people don’t pay for it, they should be upset because rabbits and racoons lost their homes for this farce...
