>muh cope muh sneed muh seed and feed
the fact is that all arguments against solar become moot when you compare them to the alternative

>muh maintenance
everything must be maintained. i already addressed this. solar panels are not anything special

>muh waste
everything is an environmental disaster. there are billions of dead tires sitting around in africa. half of the phillipines is the world's garbage dump. what the fuck do you do with an old nuclear power plant? the concrete alone takes years to get rid of and then you got all the spent shit you gotta store somewhere.
so why do solar panels draw special complaint?

>muh land
if you're not going to complain about crops, which take up WAY more area than power generation (and which can be grown inside and vertically, see the Netherlands) then you have no standing to complain about solar panels which are far less destructive to the environment than anything agricultural. Agriculture requires fertile land which is often plains and sometimes the land under felled forest. Solar panels do best when they're planted in worthless scrub land.
