@greenpeace I would extend this thought one step further, and point out that plants/tree etcetera are using solar energy all the time, and we don't need to construct anything to make that happen.
The construction of solar panels, taken from start to finish, is just as dirty and polluting as any other industrial process.
I just wonder where we are at on that.
@greenpeace You also can't strangle a straight to limit its supply.
@greenpeace
Solar has it's issues.
They want to build a plant on top of my shallow fresh water aquifer and I am on private well, so not all is rosy. I am fighting it, they can move it were it will not potentially hurt people.
@greenpeace The Mole People beg to differ
@greenpeace the point is not getting it but monopolizing it, because capitalism loves monopoly to maximize profit.
We will soon be shifting from sun as communal property to the sun as private property.
@greenpeace Fortunately, Musk and Bezos are trying to make sure that changes. 👍
@greenpeace you've never been to the British Isles, then? People here regularly invade Spain for sunshine! 😉
@greenpeace Yeh, Lithium, and other things become the new oil. But yes, a good start.

Sketch with a glad person saying the coolest thing with solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to get it.

@greenpeace I think the politicians, who make their money from arms dealers, don't like it for that very reason though?
