H.L. Mencken famously said, “there is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.” That line certainly applies to the hype around solar energy.

The always talk about the price/cost at the source, not delivered per current availability requirements.
Thanks for your wisdom and clarity of this situation!
Until these alarmist start calling for nuclear power, I will continue to ignore and ridicule them.
Amen!
Cheap, renewable solar/green energy. Takes several years, if at all possible, to break even on the smallest of scales. Haven't seen ANY electricity prices go down since this has kicked in.
They're espousing the philosophy that if you say it often enough and loud enough, people will believe it. Doesn't make it true though and the data proves it.
Presumably the decadal, at scale recycling costs for panel resources etc. are yet to be considered.
Facts
1. Oil subsidies were huge
2. PV module went down from 10MUSD to 137kUSD/MW
3. BESS China is leading
4. EV China is leading
5. USA has lost the tech market
6. Keep fracking my friend
7. The world is changing

Name a subsidy that isn't a tax deduction. Because they're two different things. (🙄Activists...)
@@matthewsmith8249 come on!!! we have supported oil and gas for decades (even centuries)
my grandpa was a coal miner so don’t touch my balls
@@SA.................. Depends what you mean by "supported." Uncle Sam certainly doesn't cut checks and ship them off to oil and gas companies, that's what they do for wind and solar---that's what a subsidy is. The tax provisions (land use provisions and accelerated depreciation schedules, mainly) are there to ensure they can exist...its a very (very) capital intensive, highly risky business...one where the billions and billions in investments made be today won't start paying anything back for a decade or more...they're vital for national security, and for modern life itself. As for the rest of the tax provisions...those are available to every industry.
@@matthewsmith8249 I support all energies and diversification but the USA invented the solar PV (back then for aerospace purposes) and now we have lost it completely. China has defeated not only our country but Japan, Germany, etc etc
The world is turning renewable. It is a trend we cannot stop, we cannot ignore. And by the way it is logical (I am done with air pollution of NYC, LA, London, Paris, Madrid, etc etc
This “expert” is “writing” about energy but has never done a project of any kind and every single video against wind, solar, electric cars, batteries, etc etc
What a lack of vision
The world is not Austin or Texas
Anyhow, God bless Trump.
@@SA.................. Let them go renewable. Its a waste of capital. It can't support grid-scale power without fully redundant nuclear or natgas backups--which begs the question: since the "backup" systems can effortlessly run 24-7 365 without backups, why have renewables (and all the resource and land consumption that comes with it) in the first place? Batteries backups are a non-starter because they deplete, and need to be recharged--its more often than you think that there can be multiple days without sufficient wind/sunshine to both supply customers and top-off the batteries--they're needed every night---and would have to be deployed at a scale that is absolutely unfathomable if we expect to double, triple, quadruple our EV fleet. No. We should migrate to nuclear.
