My contribution to the solar/farm discourse is that solar panels capture about 100x as much usable energy from the sun as corn grown for ethanol, if you include the energy cost of growing corn.
Ethanol corn is 40% of all US corn and is literally just there to capture energy from the sun. We have a way of doing that much more efficiently now!
@jackprandelli Then there’s the uranium mine and hundreds of thousands of years of waste storage.
Plus so much of our sunniest land is empty desert. There energy density matters little.
Take Elon’s advice… Solar!
Sorry, but the world’s largest wind turbine is DEC’s 26 MW unit.
60 to 70 of them produce the equivalent poser of a nuclear plant, even taking into account capacity factor.
They can be up and running in 1-2 years & cost a fraction of nuclear.
That’s why renewables are winning.
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Trump backed down.
No credit to Congress, which barely made a whimper.
Credit to the American people—progressive activists & anti-war conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, @mtgreenee, and many more.
We need an anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro-working class coalition.
@shaunmmaguire They're not against America. They're against Trump.
Trump is harming American interests and, more dangerously, undermining the principles that make America great. By opposing him, they're supporting America.
😂😂😂 Absolute humiliation for Trump. A national security expert points out Trump is desperately trying to negotiate the exact same Iran nuclear deal he ripped up in 2018.
The US literally went to war just to get back to the agreement they already had. Total incompetence.
You can’t afford a coal mine.
You can’t afford a gas turbine.
You can’t afford an oil rig.
Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can.
But you can afford a solar power station on your roof.
Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.
Donald Trump wants to make pollution great again.
He is breaking laws meant to protect Americans from climate pollution — all to enrich Big Oil and his rich friends.
California will fight this lawlessness in court.
POW! All new houses built in Tokyo after April 2025 must include solar power panels. Let's speed that up. Who's next?
RT if you think more houses should get a solar powered upgrade.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables
