    Literally burning money when the sun is right there.

    And no one feed me the "well ackshualy solar can't power what we need" YES IT FUCKING CAN. if CORPORATE GREED wasnt a factor and you put the trillions of dollars of resources used for oil and gas to wind and solar, not to mention use the millions of acres of land that are solely used to grow ethanol corn, we could very easily have a utopia. Its 6 rich Fucks that are making all of this impossible by spreading propaganda and keeping subsidies for oil and corn, while offering nothing for renewables. Why? Because the sun is free. Big billionaire pieces of human waste don't like that.

    Sorry for the rant.
