You imaginative greenies all have huge wet dreams over the myriad breathless media nonsense describing Solar as some kind of world savior. You need to actually get off your fat ass and BUY some solar panels. Or at minimum TALK to someone who actually owns some! They have their uses, but subbing for fossil fuels ain't one. They are expensive, toxic to make and don't produce nearly enough power to be competitive. Plus, you have to store the energy and battery technology currently sucks big time. Plus, if you want decent output, you need to have them track the sun. The trouble with you clowns is you see some brainless media piece where every parameter has been optimized to produce some imaginary performance and then it's quoted high and low as if it's real. Media is written by professional liars. It's simple as that. If you want a thermometer on a mountaintop nothing beats solar panels. And when the end comes, a bank of solar panels to run your portable TV or LED lamp, may be better than sitting in the dark, but is sure AIN'T gonna replace your electric meter. And on top of that, have you stupid greenies thought about what covering Texas with solar panels will do to Global Warming? I didn't think so.
