Sorry to piss in your fish sauce, pal.

There's an ignore button.

I invite you to use it.

Where would be the fun in that?

There is no such thing as "renewable" or "green" energy. Those are just marketing terms. All technology, especially "energy-creating" technology, pollutes and costs more energy than it ever makes available for human use. No technology "creates" energy; it just harvests existing energy from one source, usually converts it, and then makes it available for human use in another source. Good examples of these are both solar and wind-powered energy technologies. 

 

Well make your mind up for flocks sake!

 

A good idea, at least to test out. Might get more fish lurking underneath too - they like the shade.

For anyone who does not know floating solar is only a few years old....

The whole idea is just a bad one......

 

Their main selling point is it saves land.....lol.......Like land is in short supply.....lol

 

Just as sure as the sun come up....Water or drought or storms will destroy these white elephant water solar farms one by one by one........This is for sure.... 

 

You sure dont see most of the world rushing out to build these silly things.....And for good reason...

These solar panels will be sitting right next to the wind turbines in the junkyard..

what a horrible idea, but at least they are not taking farm land
although then there would be less sugar cane waste burning so that could be a plus

All these dumb solar farm plans that usually flop after a while
why not just make EVERY building install solar first?
if they actually wanted to make positive change that does not damage more of the environment

The "Green" mentality of
we must damage the environment to save the environment
is quite bizarre
