Solar Farms

power lines don't generate electricity

You're arguing with someone who has posted multiple times that he thinks hydrogen and batteries are a source of energy.

So the hail only hit the solar farm and nothing else was damaged?

So the risk of that happening is?

Power lines get knocked down by wind and storms all the time and the power goes out.

Sometimes gas and coal plants go down unexpectedly as well and require maintenance.

This response tells you all you need to know.

Sure makes sense?

Then it will be farmers shut off all grain dryers and aeration fans cuz some city twit needs to charge his ev car to go to work.
think about it..

Best solar panels on earth , convert energy from sun for food and a huge carbon sink at same time …

And their not made in China or off the backs of slave labour

And the best part, it can store that solar energy indefinitely in a grain bin or in an oil tank or in a fuel tank.

True enough the option of food or fuel!

Also talk about efficiency, approximately 20 million acres of canola gets seeded within 14-21 days in western Canada each May

[chuckChuck]

Canola collects solar energy for about about 70-80 days per year.

Solar panels can operate 365 days per year when the sun is shining. And storage in EV batteries and grid batteries are already well available.

And EV s are 80% efficient at converting energy to movement. Unlike ICE vehicles which 20-40% efficient. With a lot of the energy being lost as heat.
