Why are Republicans so retarded?

Retards are republican, its the other way around.

And China's Solar power is still less than 2% of China's total energy out. A person in China outnumbers the united states by 40 to 1. China is putting up so many solar panels in some places, that it is changing the weather nearby.

One drawback with solar panels is how many you would need to power everything, and the eyesore factor: There really does have to be a huge 5 acre solar farm every single mile at the side of every single road in and around the city. And that's saying nothing of the problem that you need just as many buildings full of batteries to buy energy when the sun shines and sell it back when it doesn't.

One idea is putting the solar panels under the 50 million volt interstate power lines. You're going to see the solar panels from space and you need half of one percent of all land area to be covered by them, so at least make them artwork.

In a thousand years I think they're going to self-tuck when the sun doesn't shine so that the land area can be dual-use, for farms that want to regulate how much sun hits the spots. The land being un-usable 2/3rds of the time when the sun doesn't shine, is kind of a show stopper. The land needs to boast productivity under the solar panels when the sun doesn't shine.

many fallacies here
>One drawback with solar panels is how many you would need to power everything
the "power everything" argument as if any single fuel source is currently being used to power everything
and even if that was our goal (which would not be unrealistic by end of century):
yield gets exponentially better every year, while oil and gas yield is basically the same (correct me if I'm wrong) and requires increasingly large volumes to maintain current economic needs which means more rigs, tapping more pristine environment for drilling, more ships in the ocean moving oil and gas. so the biggest downside is not the tech itself but the supply chains to build the panels (but we keep finding newer ways to do that because that is how technology works)

>and the eyesore factor
most buildings in major US cities don't have solar panels on their rooves yet - thankfully that is changing. you wouldn't know until you get high enough to see them.

I don't understand how you can argue against solar without sounding like a luddite/3rd worlder who thinks technology drops from heaven once and never changes.
solar efficiency has "mooned" in the lifetime of every generation of human on earth, largely due to subsidized research yielding results (wow what a surprise, invest in the tech tree and get rewarded for it). better investment in battery tech would nullify the "black out" argument of consistent dark weather (also, solar can now be powered pretty effectively during a cloudy day and through a foot of snow)

but yea nuclear would probably be the chad move but since no one believes our society will be white enough to maintain it in the next 50 years I can understand why people gave up on it in kalergi countries like germany

China has 3x the manufacturing sector and 4x the population size...

This graph means nothing.

Now a break down of type and sector might have some interesting points, like the amount of electricity taken up by their AI sector...but these are niche areas with limited data available.

kill yourself.
