Lots of good news in this little blurb at the end.
Best Feel-Good article of the day!
I love how towns and counties are passing laws preventing corporations from building wind and solar “farms.” Needs to happen everywhere.

Government giveth and government taketh
Solar is just another leftist feel-good scam.
Millions of homeowners are going to be left owing money on marginal home solar installations that produce no savings.
Then there are all the holes in their roofs.
And the need to remove the solar panels when the house needs to be re-roofed.
And the thousands of ugly sight-sore solar farms that are a blight on the countryside.
Government scam gets everyone on board rich “remember solyndra”
Small scale solar has its role- powering remote devices and structures where utility power is a no go. It also does a fine job as an adjunct power source and a backup for residential applications.
Utility scale solar is a joke.
Ps we have solar + battery on our home and know it works quite well.
This was pretty much inevitable because it was never market driven but government driven. Government can’t fund this crap forever.

“the best example of natural solar energy is contained in a cord of wood” L.Star
Great point about wood.
Could say the same for corn as food.
Not fuel.
“Ps we have solar + battery on our home ...”
How much capacity? Is it your only source of electricity? I’ve thought about getting some amount of solar+battery.
You carbon producing beast!
Well, I could see this coming some time ago,unless there had been some big breakthrough. If there are any broken solar arrays(and there are, I think) this might be a good time to just cut your losses & let them go. I think by now it’s been pretty well proven that the “green energy” hasn’t been consistent enough in sufficient quantity that it’s time to go back to something that works 24-7 & be done with it. Although I would admit that in certain smaller applications that there might be some niche markets where it could be satisfactory. It’s just not a source of power that can be depended on at all the times when you need it. Same goes for the wind generators.

In reality it should be State Legislatures and Public Utility Commissions that should be making rules and legislating against the obvious environmental insanity in all it’s forms that masquerades as scientific reality.
There was a solar manufacturer with plants in Michigan and Mexico that was a large customer of my former employer. I spent a lot of time at the Michigan plant as a technical advisor for the product we went them. I realized what a scam they were pulling when I asked how much manufacturing used solar power, especially when they could build their solar array for free.
Zero. They were 100$ on the grid.
They went belly up about 15 years ago. Good riddance.
Government can’t fund this crap forever.
Government can’t fund a crap sandwich, unless you and I willingly or otherwise, provide the funds needed.
...and we are such willing slaves along with those in the Congress tasked with our protection, just going along with the scam.
They think fences around the Capitol, threats and intimidation will keep out two hundred and fifty million PO’ed Americans, wanting retribution for the crap sandwich they are going to eat before things right themselves.
They do not need our taxes. They plan to just keep up the one to two trillion dollar deficits forever. We are at an accumulated debt of $34 trillion and the annual INTEREST is a trillion. The debt curve looks like the launch of Falcon Heavy.
They keep pretending this green crap will work. They keep teaching little kids in school about climate catastrophe. The kids grow into unthinking drone adults parroting the party line and supporting the trillions wasted on green energy. “Green” companies keep recycling their federal money to the Dem pols making them rich who, in turn, pass more “green” monstrosities like the IRA which pretend it will work if only there’s enough federal money thrown at it.
The whole system really stinks at every level.
I am out on errands. Will send you a proper reply later.
