Pointing out that we have no other viable alternatives to fossil fuels presently except maybe nuclear is one way to counter the madness of shutting down fossil power generation before there is a replacement.
I'm not a green fanatic. I understand that without large gov't subsidies and programs that many green technologies, especially those in power generation, don't make economic sense and cannot be scaled to the level required to replace traditional sources of power. It's just physics.

Just a couple of quick
crayola grade reads to get you started, but I'm not your teacher on this, I suspect you are just as good at using google as the next guy.
And again for anyone considering solar, simply ask the seller/installer, if they will include a clause in your contract to dispose of the panels at the end of life at no cost to you. If they say yes, OUTSTANDING, if they say no ask for pricing for it at your cost!
