Idiots Amongst Us

[TOM4CWB]

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.

Blessings and Prayers

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 ??

I would argue that modern individual farmers or farm families have finally become business people with viable great success stories in the entire lifespan of humanity. Only in the last 50 years, maybe only 30 has agriculture dug itself out of peasantry in first world nations. Never have farms produced so much food with so few people providing the lowest dollar per calorie ratio ever. The problem for the globalist elites is that farmers have too much power and freedom to make choices and that's not good for control of the masses.
At the same time processes for extracting fossil fuel energy continue to improve, (in some cases doubling) and fossil fuel reserves continue to skyrocket, with deep well and off shore drilling making the possibility for super abundance and an endless supply, and the possibility of human flourishing attaining an all time high.
Yet the globalist a persistent in setting humanity on a path for destruction...why?

All the vehicles in the yard.

Also any window I have open in the house.

I realized that every climate and soil and plant is different. But around here, I can't grow anything on the shady side of a tree. If there's a row of trees which I can't remove because it belongs to my Southern neighbors for example, I don't even bother seating the first 20 ft, because it won't grow anything. The next 50 ft will gradually grow something, need to get beyond that to finally grow normal. Hey never drives, swaths never dry. Any wheel tracks leave compaction so terrible nothing can grow because it is perpetually muddy.
In late fall when the sun is low at the best of times, the shade extends so far that if it rains or snows, it never goes away. And the spring, the snow Banks last an extra month.

Needless to say, I won't be adding any artificial shade to any of my fields. And if any of my Southern neighbors ever want to add tall solar panels along the property line, I won't be pleased. In fact, I can foresee municipalities and cities eventually having bylaws about how one person's shade can affect another property owners ability do efficiently use their own property.
If I were to install solar panels along my Southern boundary, then my neighbors plant trees which will grow 100 ft tall, or erect a large shop or Barn, it will cause conflict.
