Why are they so actively just… evil? They could have just left it alone, it was already installed and working, there was no good reason…
Man, I know how we got here, but really, I still don’t get it.
“The cruelty is the point”
The level of antipathy from even ordinary conservatives towards anything that suggests the ‘old ways’ like fucking coal aren’t the end-all be-all of human existence is… staggering. The ‘old ways’ are their ‘tribe’, and they’ll fucking die to defend its ‘honor’.
t. grew up in a conservative area
Its not right to steal the power from the sun that God has granted us. We have to steal the power from the oil where it is deep underground and God won’t notice.
That’s actually just stealing power from the sun from hundreds of millions of years ago.
You can’t just eat raw sun it has to be boiled and mashed into a stew
Same reason they buy whatever shit Detroit farts out instead of good cars for their motorpool. Backhanders to donors.
We didn’t deserve a saint like Jimmy Carter. God we could use him now more than ever
The power of voting.
just put the water under the sun? why would anyone use solar panels to heat water. you’re losing like 90% the sun’s energy in trying to capture it as electricity.
There are non-photoeoectric solar panels. Solar panels that have the only purpose of heating water are very common. They are basically a long winding black tube with water inside. Big surface area + black = lots of heating.
That being said, I don’t know if these are photoelectric or just water heating panels.
That’s exactly what these solar panels were. They didn’t produce electricity at all. They simply used the solar energy to heat liquid being ran through pipes.
TIL!
Okay, but what if night?
You have a giant very well insulated water tank for storage. I had this in a home I lived in and it works surprisingly better than you think it would.
That’s really cool, actually! Makes sense, I just never heard of it before.
