      All you need to do is put a solar panel under a lamp post, infinite electricity.

      Or simply run dirty energy as a last resort. You don’t need to, and shouldn’t be, dependent on a single energy source.

      they’re also getting the benefits of solar, despite voting for the moron nixing renewables while peddling coal and oil.

      States won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election accounted for 74% of all solar capacity installed in the first quarter

        Wouldn’t it be better to have them underground with vents?

        Those aren’t batteries, batteries are black and gold and round. Those things are evil woke liberal batteries and so don’t work.

        Obviously fake, everybody knows that batteries are ruined by rain. Just like magnets.

          Heard a fantastic quote this morning for people with similar believes:

          This are the same people who ask ChatGPT what time it is

          Beautiful !

            I’ve unironically met people who use ChatGPT for everything. (and who unironically now think magnets are turned off by water since the president said it)

            Like I literally had coffee with someone who while we were chatting they mentioned that they “asked ChatGPT if the place was queer friendly” before they agreed to go out for coffee.

            It’s like bro, did the pride flags year round not tip you off? The maps link literally has pictures of the place with snow on the ground and pride flags in the windows!

            So many people have forgotten how to think and it’s infuriating. They’ll believe a chatbot before their own eyes.

        That’s great and all, but I’m still waiting for it to be affordable to install my own so that it can also be a whole-house uninterruptible power supply.

          Obviously it depends on your use case but at least for me having an uninterruptible power supply for the maybe one day in 4 years that I have a power cut, it isn’t worth it unless the installation cost is negligible.

          I think for most people putting a few panels on the roof is probably good enough. Especially if they end up getting an electric car in the end which can do reverse charging.
