Comte de Sats Germain on Nostr: Solar is great for off grid, or if you can get a great deal because the government is ...
Solar is great for off grid, or if you can get a great deal because the government is subsidizing it, but its actually so bad that it only looks good in fiat terms because both the producers and the consumers are getting subsidies. And this is still the case, despite what the fake news says - the only solar panels that are cheap are made in China, and they are subsidized.
Those towers, though, are different. I haven't looked into them, but I'd bet they're energy positive.
