| > As is intentionally misunderstanding the fact that electricity out of coal produces CO2, while PV does not. You're making a fallacy here, that it's either coal or PV. It's not. In tropical and subtropical places, solar make sense, else where you're better off with anything else that's not fossil. In fact, PV is not even a good substitute for coal, because coal plants can't be turned on and off easily twice a day (unlike gas turbines). > people investing in PV, as opposed to me putting one on my roof, expect returns on said investment. These returns come from selling electricity. Of thos equation isn't working, people don't invest. People investing in NFTs is a proof that NFTs make economical sense then? People invest because they believe, no matter if those believes are grounded or not, so using the existence of market as a proof of something working in completely self-referential believes confirmation. > Funny as well, how people use the "market" as argument for anything working, only to turn around and totally ignore it if the market confirms something they don't want to believe. Funny to see that people use the market as a justification for things working, when we have plenty of evidences of markets for things that made no economic sense (crypto, NFT, tulips, etc.). > What I care about is HN turning into a olace where people ignore facts and realizy, just to confirm their points. We can do better around here, because if not, there is no point in sticking around here anymore. Please be the change you want to see in the world then, and stop drinking cool-aid and using rhetorical fallacy instead of arguments… |
Summary: You say PV in Finland isn't feasible. People building PV, and profiting from it, disagree. Those people put their money where their mouth is. Same goes for the Netherlands. I'll stop now, if you want the sky to be red and clouds be purple, sure, belive that... I linked to a comprehensive report on solar in Europe elsewhere, all you do is moving goal posts and repeating false claims...

Pages for Finland:
37 & 38, 43: Finland will achieve its NCEP tarhets a lot earlier

These reports, they are publoshed annually, turned out to be largely correct since tgey are published. While the IAEA is usually of by almost an order of magnitude, underestimating solar growth, these folks are sometimes a bit too pesimistic. Good thing, I did read one of there reports again, the last one was before Covid...
