solar jobs rise 65%

[cancel2 2022]

because solar energy is a pain in the ass.
And it takes decades to recover the cost of installing the panels and conversion hardware. And by then you need to repair or replace the first ones you installed.

There is another reason why people are not gaga over solar energy, and that's because it serves no purpose in the grand scheme.

Well exactly, it is only cost effective when heavily subsidised even somewhere as sunny as Florida.

Solar can and will change our energy landscape. Solar thermal plants anyway. It will just take more time and improved thermal storage. It will happen though.

and we should pursue it, no doubt
Anything that is cleaner, less expensive when the technology makes it feasible is worth it.
But not now, at the cost of American jobs, As long as there is a demand for coal anywhere on the planet American coal miners should the ones supplying it

regulations based on fake climate change data is just ridiculous

I agree.

why not take the dirty coal loser towns and give them new safer jobs that will last in to the future

Green energy jobs. The people would be better served by job training, rather than trying to resurrect a dead industry.

It is widely used in AZ, my friends energy bill is a lot lower than mine in TX, so I don't know what you are talking about.

Side by side. Alternative energies ( of which I am a proponent) do not yet have the capacity to generate the enormous amount of energy society uses. Coal is not a dead industry. It is a resource. If our government put half the research monies into a resource like coal that we are rich in, alongside renewable energy, they could find a way to make it burn very clean. Just common sense.

People didn't want automobiles either, they were expensive as not as reliable as their horses, but look at us now!

Yes because they are heavily subsidised!!

And big oil isn't, right?

we could let our gas prices go as high as Europe's. I imagine a number of politicians might lose their job if that was the case

I'm not arguing against subsidies. But it's silly when oil shills like Tom complain about the paltry amount given to alternatives.

[PostmodernProphet]

use everything......it's not that complicated.......

Holy fuck not that old canard again!!
