Solar panels have their place. They're great for someone living a modest life, on a self sufficient farm, off the grid, things like that.

You just can't expect to depend on them to power a big, industrial focused country. They work better as an useful addition, to an alternative consistent power source, to lower electricity costs during the day.

@alyx @thor solar panels are ugly poison, nuclear ftw

@lottev @thor
Yeah... we really need to start up nuclear again. I've heard we're starting to run out of some specific rare elements that can only be produced in nuclear reactors.

@alyx @thor meanwhile biomass is “green”, apparently

even though it causes deforestation and a crapton of co2 emission
