/Six Little Words You Can Use to Completely Destroy the New Green Deal
(Of course, nothing will stop the coming apocalypse, because the goal of the Greens is to ruin the western world — pointing out that “renewable energy” will hasten that process only encourages them.)
Solar Panels Don’t Work At Night
In fact, they don’t work when it’s snowing, raining, or cloudy either. The truth is that solar panels don’t work very much at all. But let’s focus on this idea. They do not work when it’s dark.
Generally, cars are driven mainly during the day. And electric cars are no different. However, there is an extra step with those admittedly cute electric vehicles: driven in the day, charged up at night.
Live in an apartment building? Can you imagine everyone trying to charge their cars during the evening? Hundreds of people from one building.
And the suburbs are in an even worse situation. The electric grid structure for a suburban street one block long can charge at most 5 cars at a time. But the demand will be for many times that number.
You guessed it, damage to the grid system will occur. Blackouts, here we come.
Let us shout it from the rooftops, solar panels are called “Solar” for a reason.
For that same reason, they also have another name, “Photovoltaic Panels.” “Photo” means light and is derived from photons of light from the sun.
With no solar input, no photons, the solar panels just sit there and don’t produce electricity. But isn’t that just when the electric car owners need the power?
Even worse, when there is some sun during the day, there are only two or three peak hours in which the sunlight provides optimal power. For some hours before and some hours after the strongest sunlight, the panels do not have optimal energy input from the sun for the rest of the day.
Even worse is that as the panels age, they lose the little efficiency they have when new from the Chinese factory.
And could there be still worse news about solar electric panels?If you live in a state where it snows during the winter, you can expect the massive solar electric farms in your state to look like this:
BONUS, “Green” material:
As an alternative energy engineer, I had the misfortune to work with solar electric panels occasionally. They are an environmental nightmare.
First of all, after 25 years of use, they become unrecyclable toxic waste.
That’s right, they stop working after 25 years or less. And what is left is a hunk of toxic metals embedded in glass that can not be recycled.
First of all, dear friends, what are we going to do with the millions and millions of solar panels after they stop working? There will literally be mountains of them.
Secondly, they are hazardous waste, highly toxic. Mountains of toxins.
Thirdly, the land on which they were placed is no longer suitable for agriculture. Or for people to live on. Toxins from the solar panels and the associated mechanical and electric equipment will have leached into the soil for 25 years.
Thus, when more farmland is needed to grow food, the massive areas covered by solar panels are not a candidate.
