This week's comic: The dangers of solar panels
-
the problems we are facing are primarily:
1. destroying the climate with CO2
2. funding vile regimes with petrodollarsyour concern about overconsumption is valid, but when you take your concern as a reason to have a problem with solar, you are only serving the fossil fuel industry
is that your intent?
if it isn't, temper your words and arrange your priorities and speak responsibly
@benroyce @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen be nice. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, even if it's not yours.

@weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen everybody knows solar pannels are produced at no ecological cost and produce no waste at the end of it’s short life cycle. Yeah. I believe in unicorns and sustainable consumism in a finite planet. Capitalism depends on eternal growth, didn’t you know it? Besides, not a ml of oil was needed in the production of any solar pannel… wake up you all technoptimists.
@pomubieng How long do you think solar panels last? @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@pomubieng How long do you think solar panels last? @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen
@weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen 1000 years

@pomubieng Incorrect. 30 years or so. @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@pomubieng So you don't have anything of value to say, you're just here to be kind of a dick, right?

yes yes
"vaccines are evil"
"trump is our savior"
"we should scaremonger and wring our hands over solar panels"
etc, etc
every opinion is magic and special!
yay!
fuck you
many opinions suck. furthermore, they absolutely deserve to be called out for being ignorant or malicious
and i will do so
you don't like it? well, respect my opinion
"be nice to liars and trolls"
imagine fucking that

@jensorensen IMo the actual danger of Solar Panels is they sustaint the faith in everlasting raising consumption
@VoquiLeibbrandt I don’t think so, because with Solar panels you can clearly see that energy is limited: they take up visible space, usually close to where you live.
I rather see that people who have their own solar panel at home become more conscious about their energy use.
Because they realize how much cheaper they live if they manage to run big consumers (washing machines, dish washers, the oven) while the sun is up.

@jensorensen The first panel is sort of correct though. Solar installations can cause serious electromagnetic noise problems if not properly designed and installed. A loop of wire on a roof makes a good aerial, and cheap inverters skip proper filtering.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't have them, but they need to be done properly.

@jensorensen
I am so happy this news story did not take place in Alabama.
There's a factory making solar panels a few miles from me and they're already tying into the grid, utilizing existing greenways for sewer pipe inspections. -

This week's comic: The dangers of solar panels
@jensorensen The one issue I have with solar and wind is that it needs to trade one contamination (air pollution from gas) for another (water and soil pollution from mining and ore processing). -

@que @weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen a different way to prolong capitalism is not a better way to live. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/comments/1ig4lhl/what_percent_of_each_of_the_components_of_solar/?tl=es-419

@GOKUSHRM Kinda. Most panels carry a 25 year warranty to 80% output. In that time, they will pay back 10-30x the energy required to produce and then are >95% recyclable. Because the local PV hating troll needs that info. https://impact.ornl.gov/en/publications/environmental-and-economic-impacts-of-early-residential-photovolt-2/ @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen
