I've seen a mini van that has a solar array and can run a fridge enough to keep things cold (food preservation and medicine preservation) and can charge devices (entertainment) and the dude lives out of it.
I don't understand why we can't upscale that to home use levels.
I mean I guess I do understand, because people want things that eat up a lot of electricity.
a big thing that is shit about solar power, apart from the whole "supplying power at best only half the time" thing is that there's no good way to store it
so the efficiency goes even more to hell. You've got nothing to do with all the surplus power. Same thing with wind power.
Combining them with pumped hydroelectric let's you exploit the benefits of converting the energy in a reservoir to electrical power; you can do it backwards if you have more electricity than you need and save the water for later
Why not just keep it in your pocket?

man I bet a major lazer concert would be fun as fuck. I'd dance my dang legs off.
DUDE!
I saw them last month. That shit was ABSOLUTELY BONKERS.
If you get the chance you want to see them. You will dance until you're dead.
Like holy shit. I listened to non-stop Major Lazer for like a week afterwards because it was such a great show.
Nice! I'd love to see them. They're playing Outside Lands on the 7th but I'll be in NY then. Feels like they mostly do festival tours, which makes sense. I've got tickets to MØ at the warfield in november and cannot possible be more excited.
the other outcome would be i go all in and get like the centaurgirl one
.... which...centaur girl
This is deadly serious, p10
i don't know pls advice Orphane
Surely you already had some centaur girls in mind when you made this post p10
I won't judge but that's a lie i will totally judge you if you pick the wrong one
i know nothing about centaurgirls
i just know that centaurgirl body pillows are a thing i can get and would be more absurd than a regular bodypillow while somehow making me feel less skeevy because at least the centaurgirl is wearing clothes

well because it's kind of a waste, the idea of every man his power plant. Economies of scale are a thing
secondly because he might not even live off the solar array - it's a car, he recharges the battery by driving. I actually doubt that he runs a fridge off of just the panels.
and thirdly; because during the night, it would be battery powered. Battery powered homes are a terrible, extremely wasteful idea.

My parents have a big house. When we were all living there the 9kW solar array met about 70% of our energy needs. Since we've all moved out they're now in net-excess constantly.
I suspect if said house was better insulated, we'd have been fine even when me and my brothers were there.
So short answer: more then enough sun to make residential living work out. It's industry you gotta worry about.

I mean I don't know shit about economies of scale so I'll agree with you, it's just odd to me. I do a lot of research on homesteading and off-grid living as well as tiny home off grid and it seems like if that can work, you could have a scenario where it would work large scale, but to me it's not economic it's that we (especially Americans) value our individuality.
I'd personally be all in for living in a nice little 2-3 bedroom house that looks like every other house on a grid and each home has a solar panel and we're all given an electric car that's identical to drive to work in and it's all paid for by tax dollars and I no longer have a mortgage, but I know that I'm the weird one in that scenario.
one of my best friends, who i love dearly, is also so goddamn needy
like
i spent fri-sun with him at music festival
the week before we tripped balls and also went to movie together the week before
we're going to a concert together tomorrow night
but he's like i've been self destructive and sad this week, and was like does anyone want to hang out with me today i need a friend
i was like see you tomorrow we will go to this concert and dance and it'll be fun
you were supposed to rage against the machine Gen X
now you are the machine
Turns out raging was also a bunch of bullshit.
/shrug
Who cares.
tom morello ended up in the fkin e street band so
basically everything i've known was a lie
But Springsteen's been a protest song-singer for a while. There's nothing odd about Morello joining. You can rage mellow-ly. It's possible.
it's a very confusing thing because i am the born in the usa generation back when we were naive and thought reagan was a good president and that song was pro-usa
born in the usa is an interesting case study of the percentage of the population that listens to the lyrics of a song (approximately .00000001)

no I mean like instead of you all having small patches of solar panels on your roofs you could just pay me who builds a massive far far more efficient solar power plant

we need a massive revolution in battery tech for sure
I'm not at all convinced that batteries will ever be the solution.
unless they come up with magic batteries that last forever and never need to be thrown out
I think the theory is use some sort of carbon lattice system (nanotubes or similar things) to hold electrical charges. No degradation since there's really no chemical differences in the system, and none of that crystallization that happens with rechargables?
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

star of the show right there. wish I had, like, a third of those moves.
elliphant's new album is real good. super poppy and less abrasive than the stuff on A Good Idea. nothing as banging as Revolusion though.
This can't be real
Are they tho

Id imagine your "we get sun" is a lot like people in the midwest saying "it rains a lot".
I envy the amount of cloudy days you get.

yeah a big problem with batteries is how terrible they are for the environment, oddly enough
