In principle, I have no problem with solar or wind power to try and make them work, so they have a place in energy generation. Having said that, I want honesty so they can be placed where they work and not where they don’t work.

“ In principle, I have no problem with solar or wind power to try and make them work, so they have a place in energy generation. Having said that, I want honesty so they can be placed where they work and not where they don’t work.”
The dirty little secret is that green energy is a huge scam. I have seen solar used effectively in places where it’s economically infeasible to use commercial power. One very effective use of solar is to power cathodic protection rectifiers on cross country pipelines.
Most of the large solar arrays and wind farms are being subsidized by the government. Once the subsidies end, there will be a significant jump in electricity prices.
