Good. I wish they would ban these on farmland, damn ugly.
A solar panel company came to our farm and offered to lease all our land (~250acres) and pay us $1250/acre/year for 30 years. Even though there's no way we can make that much on an acre ourselves we turned them down. It felt like the right thing to do but it hurts
They'd turn your natural farmland into an abominable sea of glass. Terrible.
You could have let them use it and buy another farm. Actually I don't know why they don't buy cheap unused land instead. Did you see the picture last year of that huge solar array on the ground after a big hail storm? The whole thing was smashed.
They do that because it helps them destroy our farming industry at the same time. Which, if done over an extended period of time; will weaken America which is always their ultimate goal.
Boom! 💥 Make 2-Stroke Engines Great Again!
Hal Turner radio. This guy is so full of shit.
Weren't there a bunch of swamp rats that heavily invested in solar companies? Like the Clinton's?
We, as in the US taxpayer did, under Obummer’s reign of catastrophe. https://publicintegrity.org/politics/obama-backed-solar-firm-collapses-after-big-federal-loan-guarantee/
That's actually a good thing! There are 23 companies in America that make them.
Where do the US companies get their materials? Rhetorical - I know it's in the Hal Turner article. Did anyone notice his clickbait headline? One of the 4 countries mentioned only got a %14.64 tariff, but that wouldn't drive clicks. If (and it's a big if) he is correct on any of this, I also wonder why he didn't mention China's tariff rates are the %145 or whatever POTUS has them at right now.
I asked Grok. The answer is too long, so here is a link: https://x.com/i/grok/share/XEXoishbJMWt46ZiIGSBKHsOI
Here is a summary:
U.S. solar panel manufacturers source silicon, glass, and plastics primarily from China due to its dominance (70-97% of global supply for polysilicon, wafers, and cells). Aluminum and copper are sourced both domestically and globally (e.g., USA, Chile, Canada). Silver and tellurium come from diverse global mines, with some U.S. supply for tellurium. The IRA is driving efforts to onshore more of the supply chain, but as of 2025, imports—especially from China, Malaysia, and Cambodia—remain critical due to limited domestic production of wafers and cells. Ethical sourcing and cost competitiveness are ongoing challenges.
Thank you! I'll definitely dig deeper next time because that's some pretty important info to have missed!
Beijing’s in panic mode as tariffs threaten over-leveraged Chinese banks and massively over-built Chinese factories.
China’s already drowning in debt. If the trade war keeps going they’ll have to start pawning the family jewels.

Made with Chinese shit that leeches into soils
Perfect. They are working then.
Good! Let's make our own.
I don't like solar, but I hope my silver doesn't drop too much over this lol. I don't like electric cars either...
$20/watt is back on the menu boys!
Solar is a giant scam that people have been falling for. Tariff the living shit out of it and see if it wakes people up.
