The last question that adorns a lot of simple schoolboy posts, reminds me of asking for a handjob. Do it yourself, ss.

I'm sure googling will result in information equivalent to personal experience of someone who works in the industry. I don't know what everyone's profession here is, perhaps we have someone who works in the field.

I'm pretty sure we all work in the jerking off industry.

checks out

i have faith that technological advancement will come sooner rather than later that will make solar more productive and affordable such that we'll be able to de-centralize the grid and won't be significantly reliant on the utilities in 10 years time. in times like these having home battery storage as backup will be the key.

better technology doesn't require politicians - just investment capital (which there is tons of)

the Nerds will save us

SS is a treasure, and so is this post.

Biden really showed out on CNN tonight.

I think what he said about student debt made sense.

I think it's pretty obvious his real preference there is to do nothing, but he's in a tough spot. Expect as little action as possible that will still allow him to save face.

Like Trump/Melania? Seems like fair game to talk about dumb shit like this based on precedent.

It's sad we're impressed by this, but I'll take it nonetheless.

its better than paper towels

Solar, wind and hydro generated power is nowhere ready to make a huge impact on our dependency on fossil fuels, especially in the northeast US and colder regions. Solar, wind and hydro generate about 20% of all electricity (solar being about 5 -6%). Fossil fuels, nuclear and burning trash generates about 60%.

One main reason renewable energy is as high as 20% is due to government tax breaks and kickbacks. It's not quite sustainable on it's own.

Home battery backup generated by solar panels costs about $5,000 just for the batteries! Without government kickbacks, a home solar panel system with batteries cost about $15,000 installed and takes a good 12 plus years to re-cooperate investment. Way too long.

I remember during the 1980's companies trying to sell solar to homeowner's. Here it is nearly 40 years later and it still isn't fully sustainable.
