This would be a great talking point in a world where we didn't invent ways to store power, and that night wasn't a thing.

And in a world where you can collect energy before it arrives and then somehow lose it once it gets here. Literally no part of the statement makes sense.

Another way to look at this: The solar infrastructure that is affected by the eclipse alone can generate roughly 30 GW
On the vast majority of days, as compared to these particular 3 minutes of Solar Eclipse.
Wait until this moron finds out how many GiGaWaTts we will lose after sunset
What a Gigatwat
Oh danny boy, the pipes the pipes are ca-alling for you shut your ignorant pie hole up
David Hume moment
Don't worry. In 500 million years we won't get total solar eclipses anymore, so it's all good.
So we're good to build solar panels then right...
...right?
That's okay, I only need 1.21 gigawatts to fix the country.
Please let this be sarcasm.
Unfortunately it's not. That's the founder of "Power The Future" which is a mouthpiece for fossil fuel industry/right wing propaganda. The dude is a professional piece of shit.
I remember at the Ellen’s Energy adventure ride at Epcot they had Bill Nye discuss types of energy. When they get to solar Bill Nye goes, “The sun doesn’t shine all day and weather can make it go down” then cutting to footage of a lone oil rig behind a sunset followed by triumphant music.
Make the Sun Great Again! The moon is a lefty loser!
