if you could just remove/correct your false statement that would be nice.

I am not young myself. I've been working in the solar industry for over 30 years. I have many customers who get their electricity from solar. My band plays on 100% solar power and I've powered hundreds of concerts with solar power. i'm not making it up, which you appear to be accusing me of. do you think people just make this stuff up? give me a break. if I put a solar panel in the sun and connected it to a meter to show you the output, would you believe it or would you think that is staged?

just because solar hasn't "saved us" yet that doesn't mean it doesn't work. there are a lot of things that have to fall into place for solar to "save us." we are taking some steps in the right direction but we are not there yet. having people like yourself posting false information online doesn't help.

the fact is that simple math shows that a roughly 100 mi x 100 mi square filled with solar panels would produce the same amount of electricity that our entire country uses.

if you are arguing that solar panels are a scam and they just don't make electricity, which appears to be your argument, you are even more wrong than Trump is when he claims the election was rigged.

please check your facts before you go misleading people with false information. again if you simply remove your completely false statement i will end this discussion.

"This 3,500 acres, by contrast, will never, except for maybe 25 minutes on a clear sunny day, produce 500 watts of electricity, "


No. wrong. false. not even close. reveals you have no idea what you are talking about.
