    Considering that the biggest demands for electricity come from AI data centers, and they're outstripping supply in many areas, I think that we're going to need everything, including roofs and carparks, to be covered with solar panels.

    Whelp, Trump just said alternative energy doesn't work, and doesn't make enough of a buck, and that oil is beautiful, so close up the thread.

    It's a long video, but it does explain rather well why renewables are better than things like fossil fuels. Case in point: It costs $2,100 to buy enough solar panels (with a 25 year warranty) to generate enough power to charge an electric car. In less than 20 years, if you drive a gas-powered car that gets 30 MPG, you'll have spent close to $20K in fuel.
