And STILL I hear dumb shits in the US say "solar isn't feasible"
Motherfuckers then why does literally every other country have tons of solar plants, rooftop installations, balcony installations and some packed away they can pull out when the power cuts out? Why do major companies put massive solar farms next to their new factories? Why are people interested in fossil fuels spending so much goddamn money telling people solar sucks? If it sucked, people wouldn't use it.
I see solar panels pretty often in the US rural county I live in
I live in rural Ohio and actually live fairly close to a decent sized solar farm.
Over the last 2-3 years I've seen more household solar setups, and one person I'm super jealous of has a really nice wind turbine/solar hybrid system with a garage battery wall visible when they leave their garage door open.
We're very slowly getting there, but it's like running a race with a weight around your ankle and people swinging at you with bats.
