It was called horse and sparrow before that.

Anyone who is 89 or younger was 9 when wwii ended. They did not fight in wwii. You are talking about some combination of silent generation and baby boomers.
Most if the US government is baby boomers or gen x. Only a handful are over 77
Yup. Definite concern troll behavior.
Pretending the worst prices in the most expensive place in the world for solar are normal. Then pulling the hostage shield politics card in a thread about public spending. Now crying victim.
Completely standard conservative reactionary behavior.
It’s always correct to dismiss concern trolls.
Wouldn’t it depend on the artificial structure and how much water you are adding?
Like a piece of foam painted with pure white IR-emissive CaCO2 is going to be >10 degrees cooler than a black panel with an air gap and glass.
There are likely tradeoffs (water and cost for the tree being the main downside).
Personally I think both is good https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/08/25/sunagri-reveals-agrivoltaics-performance-in-heat-waves/
Less water, more elecricity and cooler temps than either alone.
You’re just spreading propaganda.
If you don’t personally want a thing then just shut up rather than polluting a discussion about a completely different use case.
Wild concept: It’s possible to offer a fair price to someone who can. You don’t need to pay $20k for one day’s labour (although you probably do need to pay about $1k for an hour for a licensed electrician to inspect and do the final hookup if you want to AC feed for winter and cloudy days). You do not need to pay $1/W or wait years for grid tie if you have a battery and size for self consumption.
Given how thoroughly ripped off you are and how dismissive you are of the price people in civilised countries consider normal, I’ll assume you’re in the US. Signature solar sell panels for 31c/W hybrid off-grid inverters for $2k and batteries for $280/kWh. You can probably do better if you look around and don’t just listen to the door to door MLM scammers.
Pv is now around $30/m^2 wholesale and $60/m^2 retail.
Not much more expensive than a sheet metal roof (far cheaper than a mature tree after all the water and tending), but a sheet metal roof doesn’t produce $100/yr worth of electricity.
Tree good. If can’t afford tree, then pv obvious choice.
You can buy the panels, inverter, racking and a battery which produces more than enough for anything smaller than a mansion for <$10k. Batteries are also not really necessary and can be added later.
Why are you paying > $20k for someone to put in 60 screws and a piece of conduit?
But car drivers crash into them and hurt themselves sometimes or birds perch and poop on cars. Not worth having trees /s
Elaboration on the reasons why would be nice.
Isn’t there a decent argument they’ve abandoned the trademark?
Spain and china managed just fine. Rail costs way less than 20 lane highways.
That was when and how the forgetting started.
That was end stage capitalism.
Unions mostly defeated it after that, but then everyone forgot how bad it was and elected Thatcher and Reagan
It’s already in california.
Fully privatising every space and replacing democratic government with a cabal of fuedal rentiers is not the same thing as reclaiming public space from being run at great taxpayer expense for the sole benefit of the oil industry.
They are, in fact, the opposite.
Now you’re getting it! Well done! 3 is less than 100. It’s also less than 5000 or 500.
Read the thread above, chum. Your lies was thoroughly dismantled.
The modern banking apparatus would devour any fixed standard currency in a few weeks by manipulating the value. It would be like being paid ij bitcoin. Every time the plebs needed to buy more than usual, money would be worthless. Every time they were short on money and needed to sell it would be super valuable.
The only fix is redistribution. Wealth exponentially agglomerates, you have to spread it out once it does or your economic system breaks.
