Sorry, plants closed today too many clouds and low wind.
I know a few local places use solar as a secondary source to reduce their bill ans they have a large roof, but it only proved a fraction of their power needs. They can produce more power with their backup generator that is the size of a small Uhaul truck than they entirety of their roof covered in solar.
Right now, solar isn’t efficient enough to produce anywhere close to our needs. Someday it might be able to, but we can’t get rid of oil on hopes and dreams of better solar.
The point that is always missed in the oil vs. solar/wind debate is that petroleum is not just used as a fuel, but is also an ingredient in the manufacturing of thousands upon thousands of products. I wish someone had coached Trump to say that you couldn’t make a Tesla automobile without oil. From the tires, to the plastics, to the batteries, to wiring insulation, and on...and on...and on...a Tesla couldn’t exist without oil, and that will NEVER change.
Someday, it might help a lot on a larger scale. So far, it doesn’t, and those ‘green new deal’ people are ignoramuses believing in ‘pie in the sky’ - or just pretending to do, in order to weaken us all.
I wish someone would ask AOC how she expects to get electricity into her house; buy fancy, manufactured clothing; blow-dry her hair; cook gourmet meals with stuff she gets from a supermarket (which has to be supplied by semis, tractors, combines, harvesters, etc.)
God help her if her toilet went bonkers - she’s afraid of the garbage disposal. I wonder if she’s ever replaced a float or flapper - or if she just calls the ‘little people’ to do that stuff for her...
