This would be a great talking point in a world where we didn't invent ways to store power, and that night wasn't a thing.

Unfortunately he lives in this one where gets to look like an idiot.

And in a world where you can collect energy before it arrives and then somehow lose it once it gets here. Literally no part of the statement makes sense.

Saying stupid shit generates engagement and pushes your post to the top of social media. Stop falling for bait.

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

So we're not allowed to make lighthearted fun at an obviously stupid statement?

OP already made the post, and people will upvote it anyways, so damage is already done. Me and other folk poking fun down here won't affect much.

Wait until this moron finds out how many GiGaWaTts we will lose after sunset

What a Gigatwat

Another way to look at this: The solar infrastructure that is affected by the eclipse alone can generate roughly 30 GW

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 2 points 7 months ago

On the vast majority of days, as compared to these particular 3 minutes of Solar Eclipse.

Don't worry. In 500 million years we won't get total solar eclipses anymore, so it's all good.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

So we're good to build solar panels then right...

...right?

David Hume moment

Please let this be sarcasm.

Unfortunately it's not. That's the founder of "Power The Future" which is a mouthpiece for fossil fuel industry/right wing propaganda. The dude is a professional piece of shit.

I remember at the Ellen’s Energy adventure ride at Epcot they had Bill Nye discuss types of energy. When they get to solar Bill Nye goes, “The sun doesn’t shine all day and weather can make it go down” then cutting to footage of a lone oil rig behind a sunset followed by triumphant music.

That's okay, I only need 1.21 gigawatts to fix the country.

[–] QuantumBamboo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Make the Sun Great Again! The moon is a lefty loser!

A guy who just spews nonsense for a paycheck.
