Solar power is shit

[Robertbarlage]

time to fire some people

[sawfly1]

I think they should have went with wind. Lol
At least this spring.

Cheap natural gas was probably the main reason.

What a waste!

Also now apparently LED blue light spectrum is wrecking the retina if eyes, especially the eyes of young uns. Holy Crow, didn’t I just spend the last six months changing over? Oh, man this smelling every fart is getting tiring. Now good light-bad light, and pretty soon no light because the enviro - wackos will deny us that right too.

We have a guy with straight pipes and bright lights on at all times...I get being scared of the dark but scared of the daylight is a very rare disease...****ing lights are annoying in the middle of the day...thats why most daytime running lights are dimmer...

Its is a solar thermal plant not a solar photo voltaic (PV). Solar thermal plants work much better in hotter drier climates.

Solar PV on the other hand are much cheaper systems and can produce lots of electricity right here and now, even in our northern winters. That is why so many systems are getting installed on farms across the prairies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW).[6] It deploys 173,500 heliostats, each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on three centralized solar power towers.[6] The first unit of the system was connected to the electrical grid in September 2013 for an initial synchronisation test.[7] The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014.[2] In 2014, it was the world's largest solar thermal power station.[8][9]

I’ll believe you when you tell me that yoursgenerates all your power. 😤

Bullshit chuck I have solar thermal, its nearly double the efficiency of photovoltaic.

[Oliver88]

Are these the “green jobs” that Trudeau, Suzuki, Gore and others have been promoting?

What a waste of taxpayers money.

[SASKFARMER]

Waste of time money and air space

Oh , oh ,caught him spewing shit again

I never realized how dirty and inefficient solar panels are? they have a finite life, with diminishing capacity overtime. Plus their fabrication is toxic to the environment, and when they eventual stop producing electricity in 20 years they are thrown into landfills where they will leach toxic elements for years. Even California allows this shit to be dumped into landfills.

They're just as bad for the environment as the high capacity batteries required in electric vehicles.

Not relevant mb, not relevant at all
Im sure our expert on here has some “scientific info” that says they compost into rich fertile top soil
Same kinda info that says quebec and BC’s shit is good for the whales
The whole thing is so fn stupid its not even funny
