This kicks ass. I hate that my country is ruining itself and parts of the world with pointless weapons and war... but I am glad that the United States' self-defeating idiocy has the whole world turning away from oil.
Environmentalists have been in a pretty happy mood about energy generation in recent years. The orange turd clogging up global oil and gas supply only accelerates what was already inevitable: Complete renewable victory. It cannot be stopped anymore. Not with all the Lobbying and bribing money in the world. Renewables are too cheap, too reliable to ever switch back. That fight is basically won. At least long term.
Indeed. Even in Germany, we have the second Minister of Economic Affairs who trying to hinder PV by several actions. It’s still unstoppable.
I bet you guys in US will get this balcony solar boost as we had in Germany. This will kick ass the energy companies badly by the pure mass. Deserved.
In Germany we say “stromerzeugende Haushaltsgeräte” and I think that’s beautiful.
