Yeah, while mining coal and extracting oil are totally harmless, right guys?
This is a few tens of square Kms supplying enough energy for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.
Go look at a map of any American city and how much of it is useless single-family detached homes which people are forced to live in because zoning laws prevent any other housing option, this solar farm is tiny in comparison.

No its quite bad actually
>>536438312
Talatan spans roughly 162 square miles. By comparison, a 1,000 MW nuclear plant requires an average of just 1.3 square miles of land footprint. its about as efficient as two nuclear power plants, so lets 4 square miles versus 162 square miles. So we have better alternatives that dont take up as much space and doesn't destroy miles of habitat.
>>
>>536438872
Well yeah, good thing I didn't complain about nuclear power lol, it is much better (if you ignore the huge caveat of long term nuclear waste storage), but I'm not going to oppose to solar plants and dams despite their significant drawbacks because fossil fuel extraction is a thing that not only still exists, but several countries including America are doubling down on.
And I repeat, single-family detached homes are doing so much more damage to natural habitats that I can't bring myself to care about the comparatively small damage that solar causes, remember it's free energy (and a lot of them are built in deserts/arid places with not much biodiversity anyways)
>>
>>536439472
How's it free you disingenuous faggot
You think it costs nothing to send those african children down the cobalt and lithium mines?
By that logic, fossil fuels are "free energy" too. If we used african children with buckets to extract the oil, it would be no different to the current cobalt/lithium/mica supply chain.
I'll accept battery waste being better for the environment than fossil fuel emissions - but I won't accept this "free energy" bullshit. Use your fucking brain, everything has supply chain logistics to consider.

Are you being dense? lithium batteries are recyclable; while the oil you extract and whatever you make with it you burn and have to extract again.
Also if African goverments want to allow exploitative practices in their countries that's on them, I literally do not care. Resource extraction doesn't HAVE to use child labor y'know, I don't mind paying for the extra cost of not using slaves but it seems like they're not too interested in doing anything about it so I won't feel guilty about it either.
And what I mean by free is that once you build the solar panels (which use no rare minerals, only the batteries do) you are harvesting energy from the sun, which is limitless in practice, while oil will become rarer and rarer as time goes on and is prone to supply fluctuations (like the one currently happening, imagine that)

Putting solar panels up on frames in paddocks provides shade for the livestock. Places where solar panels tend to be very viable are also super fucking hot, unsurprisingly. It's called solar grazing.

>>
>>536440392
I'm not being dense - are you? Lithium batteries overwhelmingly end up in landfills, or increasingly, Mongolia. I don't know why you think the same big businesses that have been trashing the planet with fossil fuels in the name of profit, would do anything different when it comes to solar panels. Proper disposal and extraction is more expensive than relying on slavery and end to end recycling systems. You talk a nice ideology, but in practice it is not the reality we see.

You're right that slave labour is not a functional requirement of solar; but you're fucking retarded if you don't think it makes up a massive component of their economic viability. They're expensive even with the total exploitation of vulnerable workers. How feasible do you think they'd be if we paid the supply chain workers fairly? It's not about what YOU are happy to pay, business decisions are driven by moneyhungry vampires. They are not happy to pay a premium to ensure fair compensation of the supply chain workers. Use your fucking brain.

But yes, what you mean by "free" is not "free" at all, but actually "renewable". It's quite expensive to harness all those "free" photons, just like how it's quite expensive to extract all that "free" oil sitting at the bottom of the ocean doing nothing.
You're being a disingenuous little faggot claiming solar does not use rare earths. Solar is useless without high battery capacity to cope with the variable output. Solar REQUIRES a high battery capacity. Claiming you don't need rare earths for solar is misleading rhetoric - you're either doing this to obfuscate the point or you're just an idiot parroting what (((shareholders))) want repeating.

That represents something like .1% of the global production.

Most minerals are extracted in giant mines, semi-automated and staffed by highly-paid and educated people

DRC produces over 30% of the global cobalt supply. I don't believe for a second that DRC is using "giant, semi-automated mines staffed by highly paid specialists". It's the fucking Congo.
Also you've actually tried to cite your claim with marketing material from a big energy company. Are you serious?
Here's an equally biased source claiming the contrary:

look
it started to go downhill when they allowed the privatizaztion of formerly state owned and operated businesses
energy grid operators are just one of those sectors
but it got even worse when they started the trading
artificial inflation of the price of energy transfer
the price is in themeantime being driven high by faggots like your president who fucks with the global energy market for the lulz

all electric energy potential difference that you can utilize at your wall outlet is the result of energy transfer of a resource, oil, coal, gas, uran you name it
>inb4 muh solar punk; it's a laughbly small and as fragile as unflexible source of power
that is the base
and what they allowed is to set a value to the same thing generated at the same cost
what they do is change the price depending on the demand
but thats not a issue of the price of the base commodity used in the transfer process of the enrgy stored in coal etc towards your potential difference at your outlet
what the operator has to do is switch on or off capacity, preferably reroute to store energy in pumped-storage power plants or other types of large scale batteries
instead they claim it would be scarcity which it isnt so they artificially increase the price depending on daytime and made up supply and demand rules created at the energy(stock)exchange
the CEOS of those privatized grid operators are just accomplices
the real tgraitors are those that allowed this to be "privatised"

Which is a problem "easily" solved through policy, just like glass recycling was pretty much solved in many countries already, it's not a problem inherent to batteries.

>You talk a nice ideology, but in practice it is not the reality we see.
I have no idea what you're arguing for or against, so since renewables are not currently being handled properly, we should just give up and keep using fossils?
>You're right that slave labour is not a functional requirement of solar; but you're fucking retarded if you don't think it makes up a massive component of their economic viability
>How feasible do you think they'd be if we paid the supply chain workers fairly?
Extraction is the main culprit for exploitative practices but batteries involve more than just the raw resources, there's refining, manufacturing, R&D and whatnot, so altough it would affect the price, I don't think it'd affect it as much as you think it would.

>You're being a disingenuous little faggot claiming solar does not use rare earths. Solar is useless without high battery capacity to cope with the variable output.
I know I emphasized the fact that panels don't use rare metels but I never meant to be disingenuous or to imply batteries aren't inseparably linked to solar power currently, but the fact remains that those batteries are recyclable (and with proper legislation, they actually get recycled), so you don't need to keep making them constantly, and after the first adoption phase ends, you don't need to make nearly as many of them.

I'm not saying renewables are perfect, but they are superior to fossil and it makes no sense to oppose them, or worse, double down on fossil.
And for what is worth, I care very little about politics actually, I'm not pushing any agenda and I care very little about wheter the jews agree or disagree with me

Yeah bro just write another bill on a piece of paper, that'll fix things.

The other anon was right, you're a fucking faggot who doesn't understand the world at all, you think writing bills or passing "policy" is going to fix this? Stupid nigger, everybody who runs shit in the current way its being run (the ones throwing the batteries in landfills) yeah they're the ones who write and sign the bills stupid faggot, they recognize stupid faggots like you are so retarded and homosexual all they have to do is title the bill [something a faggot would like] and then you're completely sold on the (((solution))) meanwhile the solution is doing the exact same shit or usually even more heinous shit. tldr, you're a fucking retard.

Yeah thats what I said, see this is how stupid you actually are. In your mind the only two options are listen to the government or do nothing. Here's the truth retard, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING. Yeah, I know it sucks. You can bitch, and cry, and moan all you fucking want. Everything you say is completely retarded when you recognize the people who profit off all of this shit, are the ones who control the policy. Whatever they want goes, you're just along for the ride, and everytime they use retarded faggots like you to try and convince your fellow countrymen to allow them to continue to rape the planet. Yeah you're the fucking retard who is by proxy helping to give them the legitimacy they need to continue their bullshit. Britanon is completely right, This isn't a solvable problem in the sense that you're gonna what? Bring awareness to the poor sea turtle in the ocean and then what? yell at the government "JUST DO SOMETHING PLS" so they slap together some bullshit bill that does nothing to appease your faggot ass, and hidden in the bill is the legal right for the power company to rape your mother. But they at least did something! Look my (((scientist))) who totally isn't paid off by the exact same people who are causing the problems to begin with said solar panels are gonna save the human race!

>clean
Those technical inaccuracies. It doesn't stand that you're not pushing an ideology - you wouldn't be using the typical rhetoric of (((big energy))) if you weren't. You clearly aren't stupid, so I must conclude you're being misleading on purpose to achieve some ideological goal (the replacement of fossil fuels with renewables at any cost).
To be clear on my position, I'm pro-cheap energy. I do not believe the poors (anywhere) should suffer to enrich the big energy c-suite. One thing that I think is worth noting is that in every country I know of that has implemented a national push for renewables, energy prices have increased for the end user in real terms whilst the supplying energy firms rake in record profits. Renewables may be cheaper, but all this translates to is bigger profits for big energy. They aren't passing those cost savings onto the consumer.
