I looked it up a team of large mature oxen sells for about $5,000.00, dang.
When was the last time a John Deere tractor gave birth?
$5000 will pay for enough solar panels to generate real-time 120 volt power, controllers and several deep-cycle rechargable batteries, paid for an delivered.
Not enough to power a tractor real-time, but certainly enough to charge enough batteries to run an electric tractor through 40 acres every couple days, perhaps even every day if a back-up battery pack were possible.
Seriously I’m looking (realtime) at an electric scooter right now as I post this - which I use (most recently yesterday afternoon) for weekend trips to the store - takes about an hour to recharge, zero gas required, and which can in fact be charged via solar in a pinch (though I use 120v ac charging since it’s a lot faster, as long as the grid is functioning)
Let’s please not let our instinctive opposition to ideas the left attempts to force upon America, blind us the the stopped clock every once in a while being right.
Solar is, where climate permits, very truly virtually free.
I mean, after the start-up costs. Which are not insignificant.
