Reply to @BlazinRiver1 solar panels with a 200 year life span Your concerns about renewable energy, particularly solar energy, are common and absolutely deserve careful consideration. Let's go through each one and see if we can provide some additional perspective: Lifespan of solar panels: The typical lifespan of solar panels is currently around 25-30 years, after which their efficiency declines. You're right that we need to work on improving this and there is ongoing research in this area. In addition, efforts are being made to recycle old solar panels to recover valuable materials and reduce waste. As technology improves, we can expect the efficiency and lifespan of solar panels to increase. Bird droppings and panel maintenance: Birds can indeed dirty solar panels, and hail can potentially damage them. However, many of these issues can be mitigated. For instance, regular cleaning can take care of bird droppings, and robust designs and protective measures can safeguard against hail. A 2014 study by Google found that cleaning solar panels is not required often in most places. On the issue of hail, it's important to note that many other forms of infrastructure are also vulnerable to hailstorms. Tesla's "free energy" concept: Nikola Tesla had many ideas ahead of his time, including a concept of wireless energy transmission. However, it's important to note that no system of energy production or transmission is without loss. In practice, Tesla's idea of transmitting energy wirelessly over long distances faces challenges related to efficiency and safety. It doesn't replace the need for sustainable methods of energy production, like solar power. Cost and storage of solar power: , the cost of solar power has been steadily decreasing and is now competitive with many forms of fossil fuels in various parts of the world. As for storage, batteries like Tesla's Powerwall are improving rapidly in terms of cost, capacity, and lifespan. While it's true that you can store energy in a gas can or a wood pile, those methods involve burning fuels and emitting CO2, which contributes to climate change. Comparison with coal and complexity of solar industry: Your comparison of the solar industry with coal somewhat oversimplifies the complexities of the coal industry. Coal also requires mining (often with serious environmental consequences), transportation, combustion (which produces air pollution and CO2), and the disposal of ash. Solar, on the other hand, produces no emissions once installed. Regarding the steps you listed for the solar industry, these are not necessarily negatives. They represent jobs and economic activity. In summary, no energy source is perfect or without challenges. However, the urgency of combating climate change makes renewable sources like solar power essential. It's not a question of replacing all fossil fuels immediately, but of significantly increasing our use of renewables and continually improving the technology and infrastructure around them. Solar power, with its abundant and renewable energy source, has a vital role to play in our energy future.
