Solar isn’t very efficient.

If you are running your house off solar, it ain’t lasting too long once night rolls around.

How would it work at night without large banks of batteries?

I dealt with this, we just had to have a bank of batteries to store the excess power.

Its not very efficient unless you don't have a lot of choices. Maybe when batteries become less expensive.

She’s absolutely correct if batteries or an electric utility aren’t used.

Solar is absolutely NOT capable of supporting even 1 average home as a stand alone electric source.

I don't see batteries becoming less expensive.

I dont know about the rest of the country but here in the midwest, the wind dies down at night......So...I believe she is right about this issue.

Solar is only dependent on the weather. It’s never reliable. My crops may need water but doesn’t mean it’s going to get any water. The rain didn’t show up. Solar energy is the same. Wind, water, sunlight.

You can definitely tell when people have ZERO experience with solar. It may work in other parts of the world but not in places that use 1 or 2 a/c units all day, everyday for 6 months out of the year. It's just not an efficient energy source right now.

And yet, she's right about this.

Typical Leftist shitstain reaction; lets focus on an inaccuracy in her words and mock them, rather than acknowledge that the entire premise of solar and wind efficiency are colossal failures due to inefficiencies and economic realities.

I've never seen the wind blow at night since it's dark. So I guess she's right.

Oooohhhh... whoa... OMGz! She said something that technically wasn't correct, even though the premise is still correct. But let's go make a big arse deal and grammar police her about it and make it front page news, and vote for the Commie instead because of it! Genius!

Both sides do this. This isn't just a liberal thing. Brandon says stupid shite all the time by mistake.

I don't see the point of using wind or solar.

This isn't a matter of incorrect grammar.
