Great work here from @carbonbrief.org , debunking common myths about solar power.
The reason that solar power makes so much sense is fundamental physics - it takes energy in its most useful form, as soon as it arrives on Earth, before it's "taxed" in entropy. Making use of it is a slam-dunk win.

I've decided that time spent on this type of platform will be here rather than where it was before. My account there will stay because of the climate stripes story, but I won't be spending any time over there. Here for climate, inclusion, nature, crochet, learning and writing.
