      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

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

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

        Next you’re gonna tell me that the Moon can come out during the day!

        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.

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

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

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