    I get that but doesn’t mean you can’t use the power during the day. It’s not as effective but yes every roof should have solar. We honestly shouldn’t need any other power source. Have geo and hydro should mean power is just cost maintenance. No cold or gas should be required.

    Probably need to look into storage more than anything. Think business that can claim back plenty in tax expenses get enough help. This is for those struggling to hear their homes. This is for those going hungry because of predatory practices.

      Yes, because as we know, solar is at it’s most effective in the dead of winter.

        Better than nothing. Obviously with more capacity and storage you’d accumulate over summer. Release in winter. But if course you knew that. If you have a better idea. I’m sure we’d all benefit from it

          Or, you could use renewables that produce power when it’s dark, cold, windy, and raining.

          Solar has it’s uses, but you need a balance of energy sources, coupled with the huge amount of stored energy we have in our hydro dams.

            We have that. Plenty hydro and we have some geothermal. Plus add in wind and bio. But solar can fulfill all needs. Don’t actually need anymore. If most houses businesses and anywhere with roof space. We’d have more than we need.

            Then it’s storage and grid upgrades. Pumped storage would be a good bet.
