And STILL I hear dumb shits in the US say “solar isn’t feasible”
Motherfuckers then why does literally every other country have tons of solar plants, rooftop installations, balcony installations and some packed away they can pull out when the power cuts out? Why do major companies put massive solar farms next to their new factories? Why are people interested in fossil fuels spending so much goddamn money telling people solar sucks? If it sucked, people wouldn’t use it.
People against rooftop are the craziest to me. Not only does it give you essentially free energy, it also shades the roof, cooling the building just by existing. Every factory on earth should cover their roofs with solar panels. It just makes too much sense not to. Even from a capitalist perspective, it’s stupid not to. And lost hours due to heat stress are common in manufacturing, throw up some solar panels and lower your indoor temps while shoving money in your pockets from energy savings. Heat stress injuries go down, OSHA rating goes up, insurance goes down. It just doesn’t make sense to fight solar.
I just let them spout off for as long as they want. Then I calmly tell them I haven’t paid an electric bill for over five years. Whatever their argument was is moot.
When your nation falls apart and your city becomes an extensive warzone for years, the main power grid probably isn’t top notch. But the sun works just fine!
If it wasn’t for oil making the middle east insanely rich, imagine what they could do with solar
They can still go all out on solar, it’s not like they’re pumping all that oil for themselves only
there is the idea of exporting solar from Morocco to UK.
There’s others where it’s proposed to build a a high voltage line from Morocco to Spain, France, Germany. Eventually, they’ll upgrade the grid to be able to move power from one region to another.
Same thing in the states, southern states generate for the north in the winter and in the summer the north to the south to help with high demand from AC.
The western countries are just needlessly delaying energy independence. They are hostile to life itself.
We elect conservatives, they are afraid of change. It is as simple as that.
It’s more like elite psychology. Positions of power self-select for a very specific kind of bad person, who would rather die, than have peasants become any more free.
Unfortunately, this is more likely pushed by acute necessity than anything else.
Hopefully, we all won’t require a massive war to figure out solar should be invested into.

The Iran war is kinda doing just that, though renewable was going up pretty steadily even before it.
It’s probably driven by an unreliable power grid, but still great. A lot of solar should help getting a proper grid online anyways
its not just aleppo , the entire country is filled with Solar
