Valid points, Scott—but this isn’t either/or. Solar isn’t the enemy. It’s scalable now while we push forward on nuclear, hydrogen, and tidal. Storage tech is evolving fast—LFP, sodium-ion, even flow batteries. Solar’s not perfect, but neither is nuclear waste or hydrogen loss. Oceans, composting, reefs? Absolutely matter—but they don’t power cities. Rooftop-only solar won’t cut it. Utility-scale solar + agrivoltaics = win-win. We need all tools, not purity tests.

2025-08-06 01:58:44 +0000 UTCBy not using Solar before we have a recycling plan for it and electrical storage. We should be focusing on improving nuclear fission and fusion. Increasing tidal power. Free uo dykes in CA. Converting cars to hydrogen which we can do right now. And figuring out how to reduce plastics and shrink and convert landfills to eliminate methane. Stop using bad fertilizer. Planting more trees. Stop screwing with the weather. Planting more coral reefs and increasing plankton and kelp. Nobody talks about the oceans. Bring back local composting. Reduce pesticide herbicide insecticide on our food. Install salination plants off all 3 of our coasts. Install small scale hydro plants up and down the Mississippi and Colorado rivers. Solar should go on rooftops that's it.
