      Because solar panel efficiency is already pretty low so it’s best to put them in the areas and in the orientation in which they will receive the most light

      At least here in Australia, we believe in the right for a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of coal mining, and renewable energy threatens that right.

      Now that the world is turning away from coal as much as possible, we’re now pivoting to allow a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of uranium mining, and renewable energy also threatens that.
