Bless you OP (not sure if Q followers like being called Pede, surely as I've seen, some don't... latecomer from TD here)
I vacillate between hope and discouragement, despite legitimately believing there is more going on than we can see.
And your post is the kind of humorous boost that I needed tonight.
I wish you the best!
And I hope you're comfy AF.
You know what also absorbs solar radiation quite well? Plankton. Blocking out the oceans surface with solar panels at any scale that would generate enough energy to make any difference whatsoever in terms of climate heat let alone energy demand would directly impact and destabilize the oceans food chains. And how are you proposing the solar energy generated by the panels would get to electric distribution networks? Wirelessly?
