You catch a man setting a house on fire.

His response is, “There were fires long before there were men, therefore I didn’t do it.”

One has nothing to do with the other.

wasn’t Texas & several other States underwater a few millennia ago ?
I’d guess there weren’t many humans available to blame that on !

Actually, it was measurements taken. It might be higher or lower elsewhere, but that was the measurements where taken.

“Reasons to have solar farms:…FPL profits, we pay more”

Most solar installations are unrelated to FPL.

“To produce these panels uses all of the existing fossil based energy available today and will still require its use to repair/replace in years to come.”

Any energy source can be used to make photovoltaic panels. And yes, repairs are needed. “A study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory conclusively demonstrates that the manufacturing energy cost versus the energy production payback for solar modules is generally less than 4 years.” They estimate lifespan at 30 years, so break even by year five beginning, 26 years of no pollutants.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This, anything can be ugly if you insist. The idea is that climate change might otherwise submerge much of Florida.

We shall see.

Deforestation, depletion of plant life that changes harmful CO2 into life giving O2.

Loss of environmental balance, yes, from tree frogs to honey bees to so many other vital animals, insects, varmints and bird life. Somebody’s gonna think I’m a tree hugger. Try realist! Lol!

Rise in ambient temperature, 3-4 degrees is just an estimate. And the environmentalists still decry global warming, well here you go!

Excessive mining of heavy metals used in the construction of solar panels. This is mainly done in foreign countries that are not adherent to environmental or health concerns.

Elitists corporations profiting by use of low paid, and sometimes slave and child labor to mine the heavy metals.

To produce these panels uses all of the existing fossil based energy available today and will still require its use to repair/replace in years to come.

Can you say eyesore? The solar farms make our earth look like we are applying computer chips to it from above. Perhaps changing reality to a virtual AI eventually. So much today seems so unreal and false anyway, why not?!!

Carbon neutral is a lie.

87 percent of the outages were caused by fossil fuel failure, not renewables.

That only leaves 13 percent to blame on wind and solar. I remember somebody put out pictures of iced up wind turbines from years ago and pretended it was in Texas when it wasn’t.

https://www.khou.com/ from Houston reports:
“Investigators determined that most of the power outages could have been avoided if power plants and wind turbines had been better protected against the cold and ice.

“According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s report, protecting just four types of power plant components from icing and freezing could have reduced outages by 67 percent

“The report found fuel issues related to natural gas were the cause of 87-percent of the unplanned power outages, pushing back on claims that wind and solar were primarily to blame.”

dhg again:
Proper nuclear would have handled it all. Sometimes even that fails because the cooling water freezes. The solution would be to use the discharge to melt the intake but it seems that isn’t always set up.

don’t start complaining about the price of the house.
