100% a dan

Won’t somebody think of the economy!

Solar panels do not have a positive CO2 footprint in the sense that they are net emitters of CO2. While the production of solar panels generates CO2 emissions, studies have shown that the overall carbon footprint of solar panels is significantly lower than that of traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources.

A life-cycle assessment of solar panels found that the carbon footprint of solar panels is approximately 20-50 grams of CO2-equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated . In contrast, the carbon footprint of coal-fired power plants is around 1,000 grams of CO2-equivalent per kWh .

Research suggests that solar panels can offset their life-cycle emissions within 2-4 years of operation, and can generate clean energy for decades beyond that . A study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology found that the net carbon emissions savings from solar panels can be up to 78% compared to traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources.

hardly slighty less shit id say.

We already know, its not learning. Its caring, and we dont. Greed > Caring

Accurate

Last poll I saw he wasnt ahead…

Nice

The irony of the machines powered by diesil burrying wood…

Ew I. Accidently clicked on a twitter link I ieel so dirty

it’s being a moron.

Dudes mixed up his left and right…

No

A solar powered ahredder might have been easier

And yet it’s still garbage…like their search

Holy shit, do you have some more info or refs for this, this sounds unbelievably fucked up.

Are you literally smoking crack?

I simply cannot believe this is a thing in 2024. It’s like we’re living in an alternate reality. Just mind boggling.

I don’t think i used any “buzz words” here, the language i used was pretty simple.

Please elaborate on the “buzz words” i have no knowledge of, and maybe expand on how you’re reaching those bizzare conclusions.

In Australia, a similar situation occurs where mining companies receive significant subsidies, pay minimal taxes, generate billions in revenue and profit, and leave taxpayers responsible for site remediation costs amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite these subsidies, Australians do not benefit from cheaper products or electricity. Much of the mined resources are exported, and Australia often buys them back at significantly higher prices. And yet, apparently, Australians are okay with this.

It’s laughable how you think an OTA update is proof of “horrible manufacturing standards.”

Newsflash: Tesla and almost every other car manufacturer do OTA updates and recalls all the time. It’s standard practice to fix issues and improve software without dragging cars back to the shop. Singling out BYD for this shows a lack of understanding of how the automotive industry works.

Calling out xenophobia isn’t a “whataboutism.” It’s pointing out a real issue in your argument.

And for the record, my brain isn’t “rotted.” It’s perfectly fine and capable of recognising logical fallacies and biased thinking when I see it. Instead of throwing around baseless accusations, maybe take some time to understand the broader context before embarrassing yourself with poorly thought-out arguments.

Attacking others is usually a sign of intellectual insecurities. Perhaps work on your arguments rather than resorting to name calling and straw man tactics. It’ll make for a much more credible discussion
