Net Zero Collapses

[John_von_Neumann]

Solar farms are a bust.

You're an idiot.

 

[ll74]

Solar CAN work in some areas for individual structures.

They work in most areas.

Solar farms are a bust.

No they aren't.

 

[ChinoMoreno]

My dude they don't work at night! I heard a solar expert say that.

Shit.....are you serious?

The sun is always there....I don't get why solar cells aren't working at night

Global solar array grid.

Or just better battery storage like I said.

Thank goodness for your engineering expertise.

Whatever would we do without you.

32 comments into the thread and I’m the only one to provide any data. Y’all are weird.

 

[ll74]

This is the truth, suck it up and live with it.

I think the worst part of this whole thing is that MAGA fucks are actively rooting for alternative energy to fail. It has nothing to do with the benefits offered here...they just hate the left so much that they want to see them fail in everything.

No benefit is worthy....no reliance on foreign oil matters ...... Just they see purple hair and immediately want to snuff it out because they're triggered

Lol.

Yes, you have sources for your expert analysis

How exciting for you.

Dude, nobody wants to be your friend

The classic angry misanthrope. Hates even those he mostly agrees with. How have you survived 12 years on the PB? It must be torture to interact with all these sub-humans for that long.

Lol
A psychologist and an engineer
Who knew?

I don't hate you, if that makes you feel better about yourself

Or maybe you need to call your mom first.

Fyi, we don't agree on anything

According to calculations by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels (including oil and gas) totalled seven trillion US dollars in 2022.
Against this background, to claim that renewable energies are too expensive demonstrates a disconcerting lack of knowledge of the subject.
In fact, renewable energies are significantly cheaper, even in the USA, where the price of electricity is highly subsidised.

By the way, could you people please stop this preschoolish 'you are an idiot' 'no, you are'? It's tiring.

It's a willful ignorance meant to denigrate the political opposition

I understand that. The self-congratulatory drivel of the religious and right-wing extremist nutcases really gets on my nerves.
Sometimes my abysmal contempt bursts out of me. That's not a sign of good behaviour.

Green energy is a good thing for humanity.

Nothing explains that away

You must be new here.

 

[Meekly_Anna]

You must be new here.

No, I'm not. I just don't get tired easily.
Once I watched paint dry. Compared to the endless 'In not listening to you, because my preacher says your point of view is ungodly' versus 'I'm right, because I'm from the right' versus 'Go fuck yourself' that was quite amusing.

 

[Politruk]

Don't be so ignorant. Subsidies are the only thing making fossil fuel affordable. You know how expensive a fuel refinery is?

Wars fought for resource access are also a very expensive form of subsidy.

 

[Politruk]

Shit.....are you serious?

They would if we had a powersat. SF staple.

 

[Baztrachian]

No it isn't.

And this 'collapse' was observed three years ago by the State of California:

No they aren't.

Yes they are. Go talk to the field guys that have to maintain those monstrosities. If it weren't for tax breaks and subsidies NO power company would ever build one

Oh, and go solar on the Pacific NW area and tell me how fucking economical it is.

I did. Post of my profession.
You are clueless. Or lying.

It would have been easier and faster just to call him an idiot.

 

[Meekly_Anna]

It would have been easier and faster just to call him an idiot.

If idiot means a person who keeps out of public political affairs in the polis and does not hold office, even if it were possible, i.e. the opposite of politai, I can hardly call him such.
But if you prefer the more modern definition as an ignorant person, then your attribution would of course be correct.
I think there is agreement that definitions and attributions should be correct.
Well, now that we're speaking correctly, it was much longer....
