lol.. when you sit at home on your computer with a GED talking about climate science and how you know better than everyone else.
Weird how fossil fuel industries literally pay people to say "global warming is fake, the earth is naturally getting hotter, man made pollution is fake" yadda yadda.. Weird how those guy, who get paid by that industry, always say the same things. Almost like, they were told to say it..
Meanwhile, the wind turbines are "slowing down the wind" and "hurting god" because its against nature.. LOLOLOL hilarious.. Gotta love the stupid. Who else is gonna go first??

Believe it or not, but I work in the solar energy industry. Wind turbines, while innocuous, are really quite useless. The energy they generate is technically more efficient than solar, yet the build scale which you require to generate any adequate power is massive (both in terms of # of turbines required and the land cost is untenable (millions upon millions of acres)
Solar panels on the other hand, do degrade over decades, yes they do. The manufacturing waste process is alot less than wind turbines (yet still like .000001% of fossil fuel use, yes, you can live with that.)
Wind turbines require alot of land space, as stated. The sun is VASTLY more abundant than wind, which doesnt always blow, requiring more energy storage facilities. (orders of magnitude more than solar energy storage requires, because even when the wind is blowing, wind fed grids are still pulling energy from a power plant somewhere, we will not be able to build enough of them to meet future energy requirements) With adequate solar arrays, they will backfeed the grid (in many homes, and some towns they already do), requiring orders of magnitude less land space.
Land space the only natural resource that we cannot make more of. Yes, we can make crude oil in labs if we want to. Can't do that with land.
Photovoltaic cells DO collect energy even on cloudy days, albeit less than bright and sunny days.
Solar Panels and smaller, modular Photovoltaic cells can be placed virtually
anywhere. Your roof, your land, your car, your windows (yes, windows), your outdoor fixtures, your kid's swing set. moving onto the city level, sidewalks, street lamps, public trash bins, on ALL of their buildings, i could go on but you get the picture.
The amount of solar energy that hits the sun between the hour of 12-1pm is enough to power the planet for a year. Just one hour.
We are all idiots for not having invested all of our lives in the pursuit of solar energy. Its free, we don't have to dig it up, it comes to us on its own, it will still be there billions of years after humans are gone.
If we can do this right, we will never need another source of energy, ever again in the course of humanity.
I do not promise "off the grid" energy independence unless you drastically reduce your watt consumption, or unless you want to spend half your homes value on our systems. People really do draw a ridiculously stupid amount of electricity, all of us do.
Forget your solar tax credits, or your neighbor's jealousy, or your low electric bill (if you even have one after we install our systems)
Just Build a Movement, come hell or high water, we will get there.
