Super uplifting as long as you don't think too hard into why it's becoming more popular

Also, wash boards look good on the walls of Cracker barrell and other homey restaurants and who doesn't like to eat?!

Because something useful is actually made in the United States and not by Chinese prisoners.

I look at it this way… The way panels are made and now they’re good for like five decades.. probably longer now.

So I’m OK with buying a crap ton of Chinese made panels it could be the leap that we need until we figure out something better

The US has about 1143GW of total generating capacity and about 4.12 trillion kWh of net generation per year. Each GW of solar energy capacity produces about 1.753×10^9 kWh of electricity per year based on an average capacity factor of 20%.

My personal guess is that coal production will continue to fall while natural gas generation will stay approximately the same because of the demand in 5, 15 minute markets but increasing prices leading to less new projects.

And it’s still failing to power the country adequately.

How is adding roughly 1/6th of Austrailia's power generation of solely renewable in a single year small?

Reply to Right whale off southern U.S. freed from Canadian lobster fishing gear by NotEnoughDriftwood

How depressing is this? 336 if these whales left. On earth. We know that lobster fishing causes this. There is no solution to prevent the entangling? And we keep fishing the same way? I'm sorry, but despite how tasty lobster is, this technique of fishing should be banned.
