What I never understood about the liberal left and these “solar worshippers” is that they can never point to any example where solar technology has reliably delivered large-scale power in a cost-effective way. Nowhere has this been proven to be the case, even in Europe, where Spain has almost gone bankrupt trying to prove that they could do it, and they still can’t. If this is such a great idea, how come the American southwest isn’t fully solar powered by now? There are lots of places in America where there is lots of sunshine and yet we just can’t seem to make it work. And research has been going on with this since the 1970s and still NOTHING! Billions have been spent on this dream and we still don’t have one major power plant that is powered by solar energy alone.
How many more years and how much more money are we going to throw down this rat hole? I cringe when I think of how much safer and better our nuclear power could be if we dedicated as much research dollars to that. At least nuclear power works and we have working power plants around the world that produce massive amounts of energy. In fact, there are more nuclear power plants in Europe, home of the “green” jobs, than here in the United States. Even they get the point that solar engergy is going nowhere fast.
But no, this is the holy grail of the liberal left. The leftovers from the “peace-loving” 1960s just can’t let go of this and their followers are just as dedicated as they are in going broke just to prove their point. Which goes to show you that the liberal left would rather go broke than admit that they were wrong.
