Why The Left's Plan For Renewable Energy Won't Save The Planet

Electricity from solar roofs costs about twice as much as electricity from solar farms, but solar and wind farms require huge amounts of land. That, along with the fact that solar and wind farms require long new transmissions lines, and are opposed by local communities and conservationists trying to preserve wildlife, particularly birds.

Another challenge is the intermittent nature of solar and wind energies. When the sun stops shining and the wind stops blowing, you have to quickly be able to ramp up another source of energy.

I am going to laugh at all of the middle class cocksucking left wingers that voted in their demise when choosing socialism.

Only then will you know the elitists wanted you eradicated

A bigger problem is that there are many other uses for the water that accumulates behind dams, namely irrigation and cities. And because the water in rivers and reservoirs is scarce and unreliable, the water from dams for those other purposes is becoming ever-more precious.

Without large-scale ways to back-up solar energy California has had to block electricity coming from solar farms when it’s extremely sunny, or pay neighboring states to take it so they can avoid blowing-out their grid.

Feck em I’ll live off grid. They can have that bullshit.
