    A clean, abundant and renewable energy source would be the worst thing that could happen to the human race. It would allow us to overpopulated even further, consume even more, produce more plastic, chemicals, poisons, and other destructive products. I say keep moving towards the inevitable cliff edge that we are approaching and lets get it over with

    Solar energy is great. Check out our channel to see how we saved one client over 500,000 dollars by switching to solar energy.

    Or maybe you could commit suicide to make room for those who appreciate having the opportunity to grow man past planet scale limitations.

    If want purchase or lease solar panels,

    if that was a joke, than it was a good joke

    so much facts are wrong in this video O-o

    1. More energy from fossil fuels is wasted in the PRODUCTION of solor panels than the amount of energy those solar panels will actually create. 2. It takes an average of 13 years of solar energy creation in order to make up the cost of the panels. This is ONLY if the panel has ZERO damage in those 13 years. 3. Solar panels degrade over time and produce less energy as they age. 4. Creating batteries only leads to MORE toxic pollution. Solar energy is a scam. Stop being a pawn.

    Solar energy is the future! That was what my science project was about. I got a solar car kit from sciencekitstore. Now i’m fascinated with solar energy and want to pursue it FOREVER!!! LOL

    love solar
    

  18. TheWTFization says:

    er dude, obviously if we get all the governments to work together and quit using fossil fuels, i doubt they will just start producing more destructive chemicals and plastics

    I find it kinda funny how there is a cartoon guy explaining everything.

    solar at day, wind at night.

    Home Made Energy known as Xobotano Home Energy (google it) kept appearing here on different videos and I thought they were scams. However after my friend follow it, and finally save a large amount of his electric bills with it, I’m persuaded. Don’t take my word for it, search for Xobotano Home Energy on the internet.

    1.Erik Alsema shows the energy payback time is ~ 2 years. And because a solar panel is built to last +25 years, it produces 10x more energy than what it takes to produce it.
    2.It depends but you are a bit wrong. The average is 7-10 years. Also panels have no movable parts so it will most likely have ZERO damage. And solar is a long term investment.
    3. Companies guarantee to have at least 80% of the power after the 25th year. Solar panels and batteries are getting more efficient over the years.
