I could see a ton of yard care, pest control, HVAC, and a bunch of other locally-driving businesses loving this. I could even see enterprising people couple this with small generators that you could secure in the bed, allowing you to take longer drives. Just pull off, run the generator for a bit to recharge it, and be on your way, just like an EV charger. My Yamaha generator is very small.

Somehow I don't think that's what MisterBeale was trying to say at all. By all accounts the film was made to spark controversy and productive discussion. It largely failed to do so because they got critical facts wrong and were otherwise sloppy as Michael Moore films have tended to be. Moore simply providing us with perspectives at odds with the corporate norms doesn't necessarily help anything. But it certainly does fuel conspiracy nuts' wet dreams.

Michael is a Fatass Commie America Hater.

Just like with Solyndra, Republicans have fucked up America's future, ceding it to China.

Air conditioning that works without refrigerant gases? Invented in ... Slovenia?

This country of barely 2 million people is stunning the entire world with a first in 100 years: air conditioning that works without gas.​

I love laughing at all you losers.

There are equal for and against arguments with green and fossil fuel energy, irrelevant of agenda. Green energy is very dependant on technological breakthroughs because it's not currently stand alone viable. Folk are only bothered in one thing, $/£. So fossil fuels will be around for sometime to come.

It's coming quicker than people think. The solutions are there.

India's population is over 1.4 billion. That 94 acres wasted on solar panels could feed a lot of people.

You just can't resist showing everyone what a dumbass you are. Such ambition!

94 acres could feed 18 to 20 people. I would see people fed than humor you loons delusions that current solar technologies are a viable solution compared to other energy sources.

I'm smarter than you fucktard. I would rather see the trillions wasted on solar put into something like nuclear fusion.

Yeah, it's great! My mother's solar system has generated...NOTHING this week, and will probably match that for the next three days! (I haven't seen the sun for more than an hour in over a week.)

I love laughing at all you losers.

Ah, yes, electric buses. Expensive (the ones in this area are >$1,000,000 each) and unreliable. Bonus: most in the US were built by Proterra. The manufacturer went under last year, so this won't end well. They tried this in Canada, too. It's AWESOME-well, unless you want heat, clear windows, or compressed air for the brakes!

Seriously, who is paying you to shill for this bullshit?

I doubt they are being paid, they ignorantly believe everything they are told.

It could also power a town. Or an airport.

Or a lemon tree on Phil Collins' head?
Ultimately, the Sun (solar) powers just about everything on Earth. No charge.

How reliable is that solar power during monsoon season ?

I can't stop laughing!

You think solar panels don't work on cloudy days. Like I said, you're a dumbass.
