tfw all this free solar power going to waste
tfw normies will never give up their oil and gas

Solar panel installations are expensive as fuck you know.

There's not enough energy in the rays that reach the earth's surface to supply our energy usage even with 100% efficiency.

Money is a social construct

That's a lie

And? Those Solar panels aren't gonna install themselves and this "social construct" is the only way to get a 5kW up and running in a home.

>>51975062
*5kW solar system

If solar was as easy to set up people would have done that long time. However very few people have the special autism to care about nature or see the long term benefits so no petrols and diesels are the only resources for us now.

>>51974959
Actually with efficiency as low as 0.05% we could meet average enery demands if you consider full utilization of the earth's lit surace.

TOO MUCH FREEDOM

fun fact: 100% of all energy ever used by humans literally comes from solar rays

> Hydroelectric
Only possible with liquid water, water is liquid on earth because of the solar energy, it would completely freeze in days without it.

> Wind Power
Wind can only exist on earth because of the heat of the sun

> Oil Energy
Literally ancient dead creatures (mostly bacteria) in which it's energy essentially came from photosynthesis

> Nuclear
The only exception, it's energy came from another stars before the sun though.

Solar = best energy.

pls dont cry

>>51978144
That's not true. There is also gravitational energy. gravitational pressure on the core of the earth for example.
>>
>>51974959
The amount of solar energy that hits the earth annually is greater than all energy human beings have ever consumed.

439 EJ of solar energy hits the earth each HOUR.

Humans use ~700 EJ of energy each YEAR.
>>
How do we stop BIG OIL?
>>
Why don't we just send solar satellites into space and then coordinate lightning strikes from space to antennas down here in earth to harvest energy with high efficiency?
>>
>>51978989
Or if the atmosphere is an issue, why not shock the clouds and create megathunderstorms for harvesting?
