What is bad about solar panels? Besides that it’s junk now, seems like a rare case. I think solar panels are good supplemental energy. I can live off just 200 watt panel in California.. powers a fridge, all my lights, laptop, Wi-Fi, security camera, and fans with no issue.. basically a $500 setup and as long as I don’t experience a hail storm I won’t have any electricity costs. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but if you own a home, why not build your own little system and avoid paying an electricity company? Solar required for off grid living, id assume this forum in general favor of being off grid, so don’t understand the hate towards it
The bad thing is forced artificial support of it, in the form of taxes and subsidies. Sure, just like windmills, it's great in some places. But that doesn't mean your taxes should pay for it willy-nilly all over the place.
See, this is one reason I have such a problem with Elon Musk. Many of those billions of dollars he has came from rebates and crap funded by taxpayer dollars. But I don't see nary a word criticizing him for this. Most people here love him. So why does he get a pass? Because he trolls libs on Twitter?
