    And they are adding, fast. Far faster than we are. That goal of nearly ten percent solar in less than two years?

    That’s not only fucking amazing, that’s achievable, and they’re on target for it.

    As cheap as panels and controllers and batteries have gotten? It’s only getting better.

    Free electricity. From the fucking sky. Magic is real. You can play xbox with it

      Yes they are the leaders in solar which is they are a good example… If the rest of the world was going at thier pace (it’s not) it still wouldn’t be fast enough.

      Then we’ve got the degradation to worry about so the panels will all need regularly replacing whilst silver, gold and rare earth metals run out.

      Rolling out that infrastructure is not likely to be smooth whilst most countries will be busy footing bills for the ongoing extreme weather. Not to mention the other potential blockers like wars, pandemics and lack of political will.

      That last line sounds boundlessly optimistic and condescending in equal measures. Magic is real lol please. Of course I know sunlight comes from the sky and electricity can be used to play games consoles.
