Hey, one of the smartest things that the VA did here in Amarillo was to put up solar panels over the top of their parking lot. Not only does it provide shade for parking, but it also provides electricity for the hospital.
And yeah, with the tech that is now involved with solar, as well as the advances made by Musk in battery tech, solar is going to become one of the main power sources for this country in the next 10 years.
I was going to say informative but in ten years?
No fucking way...
.
You know, up until a couple of years ago, I would have been just as cynical as you, but there are two new developments that were pioneered by Elan Musk in power generation, and it's batteries and sustainable power. First, he made an island nation that although is close to the equator, is totally energy independent and gets all it's power from solar. That is the first one.
Second one, is that Musk offered to do the same thing for a remote area in Australia, and said that if he couldn't get it up and running in a certain amount of time, he would let them have it for free.
When entire countries and large parts of other countries start to get onboard because the technology looks like it is now workable, it's just a short time before other countries see what is going on and decide to try it out as well.
No, I think the 10 year timeline is right.
