it's almost a waste of money

solar panels were a great idea, but the output just isn't enough for what it's worth

They also get less expensive, that's why I was against doing it 10 years ago, the technology was not great and you hardly made a profit, especially if you bought one 3 years ago, you saved good money

Now there's always the question when do you decide to get them, maybe they'll be even better 5 years later but from what I know they can get a lot of energy right now

solar panels are not a practical means to solve the energy problem because they don't pay for themselves quick enough, and that there isn't nearly enough materials to manufacture them on this planet to suit the needs of the masses

I have nothing against research into green energy, but solar panels are not the answer

Oh i know there's an issue where they might cause a whole lot of damage when just making them

but it's clear it's economically viable now

viable if you want to make a poor investment

Depends where you live obviously but it's not a stupid investment

lol

For europeans maybe more so, we have to deal with Russia threatening to shut the gas pipes, maybe not a devastating measure but it will run your bill up

...you should be more worried about Iran if you want to talk oil

in either case, both of them should "shut the pipes", perhaps the western governments will frantically fund research into alternative energy sources and discover something.

Yeah, I don't like to be reliant on those type of regimes, and generating your own will give you more freedom

i get sick when I see my ''leaders'' buddying up with Saudi Arabia

lol. Saudis are powerless.

they only have power because the West chooses to buy from them.

Power still though

they are a one trick pony though

once the barrel sinks, so do they.

They get to run ravage on Yemen, not a peep from my government

Iran could cut off the strait of hormuz and cause oil prices to skyrocket in just two days

this alone would destroy SA

that strait sees more than 50% of the world's oil traffic passing through it btw

More reason to become energy independent, I don't want to fund them

this is why the Saudis are funding wars against the Yemenis

they want control of their strait.

interestingly as well, the Chinese government is fighting Vietnam over oil in the South China Sea.

a dirty business

You are not thinking big enough. The first goal of Communism will be the creation of a Dyson Sphere.

@WhitakerWhitman NIGGER WTF

what did he post?

a tranny op

We should try and use fusion, ASAP. For now, all we've got in that department is fission, but that's not bad.

what do you know about it?

because I don't know anything about that

Basically? Think nuclear power, but more efficient and safer. Only problem: We haven't quite gotten it *working* yet, but from what I understand, this isn't because the *physics* rules it out, but because we haven't figured out how to do it right yet.

Current technology allows us the populate the solar system. All we need is unity and will.

Was Titoism socialist?
