Idiots Amongst Us

[furrowtickler]

Still will say solar panels belong in cities , rooftops , tall buildings with solar panels along south facing sides , roof tops . Along with high efficiency wind turbines. Big cities create their own wind tunnels. There could be thousands installed in cities like Saskatoon, Regina , Edmonton, Calgary . All much better options than open ground for pastures and crops in my opinion.
Is there a place for this idea in the op , yup , but it will only ever be extremely limited in scope . It is pie in the sky thinking it makes sense broad scale

Put the “green” power where it’s needed and demanded. Making solar panel fields many miles from the power demand is counter productive.
Miles and miles of cable that’s carbon intensive along with the trenching required totally defeats the end net result no ?

Again fanatical stupidly gripping humanity.

We just finished getting a hail storm that : broke windows, windshields on vehicles, siding on buildings, pockmarked the bodies of the vehicles, broken paint work, destroying crops, this storm had tennis ball to base ball size hail…

Replacing all those solar panels would not be carbon neutral to say the least.

Solar farms need to be weather resistant… First…to be practical in western 🇨🇦 Canada. Trees are. And they fix billions of tons of carbon every year… cycled naturally… like ethanol and biodiesel… these do provide sustainable solutions for energy.

Solar works all year round under the right conditions. The southern prairies have some of the best solar resources in Canada.

Plants and trees stop capturing solar energy during the winter.

If hail is such a big risk for solar why is Alberta building so many solar farms?

Its a small risk compared to the damage to everything that occurs in a storm like what Tom is talking about.

So should we stop putting windows in houses because of hail? LOL

Storms and bad weather will knock down the grid and fossil generating sources as well. I guess we better not put up more power lines in case the wind and ice blows them over? LOL

I agree with your last two points but boy those LOLs just make them seem impossible to agree with.

If I put a finger over the LOLs it’s a much better post.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was almost going to begrudgingly acknowledge the very good points made by chuck.
But how can any mature adult possibly like a post containing that many narcissistic lols.

Chuck how many windows do you have mounted on your roof angled towards the sky? There is a massive difference between a vertical window in a home (often protected under an eve) versus solar angled towards the sun. Last I checked hail falls from the sky.

chuck is such a propaganda piece. I have witnessed hundreds of hail storms and never did they take out my kitchen window.

Nor did they take out the coal fired or NG fired electrical stations.

And no, the power grid rarely goes down anymore in a storm since we started to bury yard services. With a generac in my back yard, no weather event (or Klaus Schwab) could ever take down my heat or power.

I wonder what he thinks it means ??
