    what the fuck does a gigantic dam have to do with solar?

    damming up giant river systems is old school proven tech that will displace petroleum and coal burning. is it ideal? Not really. So they’re diversifying. Mountains of solar are better than burning coal.

    apologies for linking to reddit but it’s the video source.

      Their last big one slowed the earth’s rotation. How much can we do that before there is seriously negative side effects?

        0.06 microseconds PER DAY.

        we got tons of room for more dams if that’s the reasoning you’re going with, but really cute strawman lol. again, not endorsing dams - just pointing out they have FUCKALL to do with solar power (which is what he’s pissing on about) and they do displace coal burning.

      I’m mocking them for distracting people with solar while they keep destroy the planet anyway.

        distracting people with solar

        did you not see the literal mountain of solar they’re installing and selling around the world?

        Distracting?

        Awkward position I don’t want to defend them on anything but distraction? If so it’s remarkably effective at generating gigawatts and offsetting production of coal fired plants.

          Yes I see them destroying a mountain, and I agree that is better than fossil fuels.

          So let’s talk about how this dam is going to destroy entire ecosystems for hundreds or thousands of miles.

            No no no, you don’t. That’s your hyperbole crying again. That mountain hasn’t been destroyed. Now come on, use your eyes, the mountains and hills are plainly still there. If you can’t help yourself but whine, pity the plants that used to live on those hillsides, but even they will probably be fine, read up on agrovoltaics, solar arrays make great habitats once the plants and animals figure it out.

            See, you just can’t stop with your hate. It’s consuming everything about you, obviously your ability to posit a comprehendible premise without it turning into a whining, mewling, pissy little rant about them evil chinamen.

            You got issues bud.

              Once they learn to adapt to humanity. Nice. 🤡

              I hate all humans equally, sweetie.

                  Oh I think you despise quite a few people. Especially people downstream.
